So, I've got an iPod Touch now. My boyfriend gave it to me. :D
I've got a new background thing; I love it. :D The only problem is the image isn't long enough. You can see where it repeats and whatnot. If anyone figures out what image I used and puts it up I will hurt them. :P
That picture to the left there is really pretty. I found it while looking for a background. Don't steal it, it's not pretty enough for you. [I'm kidding] :P
But yeah, this is somewhat of a filler post. I thought I had more to write about but I really don't. So in a few minutes I'm going to talk about my teachers, a lot of people seem to be doing that and since I have nothing better to do, other than a Spanish project, I'm going to do that. Talk about my teachers, not the Spanish project.
I put a whole bunch of quotes in that scroll box down there. They're mainly from Heroes, I have an unhealthy obsession with that show. I like them though. I have almost all of Mohinder Suresh's quotes because his are cool and make me think. Suresh is bomb. :] Lol.
I think I only have one from Peter Petrelli. That's rather depressing. Peter is my favorite character. He's cute. :] That's only part of the reason why I like him. Haha. He's a really nice character, kind of the naive good guy. He's not really naive anymore which I'm very glad for. But that's beside the point. I didn't really have a point, but still.
Peaace. <33
"Man is a narcissistic species by nature. We have colonized the four corners of our tiny planet. But we are not the pinnacle of so-called evolution. That honor belongs to the lowly cockroach. Capable of living for months without food. Remaining alive headless for weeks at a time. Resistant to radiation. If God has indeed created Himself in His own image, then I submit to you that God is a cockroach."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"Some individuals, it is true, are more special. This is natural selection. It begins as a single individual born or hatched like every other member of their species. Anonymous. Seemingly ordinary. Except they're not. They carry inside them the genetic code that will take their species to the next evolutionary rung. It's destiny."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"I did it! I teleported in to the women's bathroom!"
"Then you're a pervert!"
- Hiro Nakumura and Ando, Heroes.
"We all imagine ourselves the agents of our destiny, capable of determining our own fate. But have we truly any choice in when we rise? Or when we fall? Or does a force larger than ourselves bid us our direction? Is it evolution that takes us by the hand? Does science point our way? Or is it God who intervenes, keeping us safe?"
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"When evolution selects its agents, it does so at a cost, makes demands in exchange for singularity and you may be asked to do something against your very nature. Suddenly the change in your life that should have been wonderful comes as a betrayal. It may seem cruel, but the goal is nothing short of self-preservation, survival."
- Monhinder Suresh, Heroes.
"Well, this is macaroni and cheese. It's what Americans eat when they want to commit suicide slowly."
- Eden, Heroes.
"Who are you calling?"
"The comic book author. To warn him about the future. He keeps hanging up on me."
"That's because you're crazy. I'd hang up on you too, if I could."
- Hiro Nakumura and Ando, Heroes.
"I don't want to lose you. But if you don't believe in me, then you shouldn't be here."
- Isaac Mendez, Heroes.
"This force, evolution, is not sentimental. Like the earth itself, it knows only the hard facts of life's struggle with death. All you can do is hope and trust that when you have served its needs faithfully, there may still remain some glimmer of the life you once knew."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"Look, you can't say anything. I'm fine. He was drunk and it was an accident."
"Which part was an accident? The rape or the murder?"
"It didn't happen."
"Yeah, because he killed you before he had the chance."
"I'm alive!"
"Yeah, now, but you weren't on the autopsy table."
"Shhh!"
"Look, you said you had a hole in your head. Okay, maybe when - maybe when they pulled whatever was in there, its when you like, rebooted or whatever."
"I'm not a hard drive."
"No, you're little Miss Miracle Gro."
"Don't ever call me that again."
- Claire and Zach, Heroes.
"When a change comes, some species feel the urge to migrate, they call it zugunruhe. "A pull of the soul to a far off place," following a scent in the wind, a star in the sky. The ancient message comes calling the kindred to take flight and gather together. Only then they can hope to survive the cruel season to come."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"You do not choose your destiny, it chooses you. And those that knew you before Fate took you by the hand cannot understand the depth of the changes inside. They cannot fathom how much you stand to lose in failure...that you are the instrument of flawless Design. And all of life may hang in the balance. The hero learns quickly who can comprehend and who merely stands in your way."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"The Earth is large. Large enough that you think you can hide from anything. From Fate. From God. If only you found a place far enough away. So you run. To the edge of the Earth. Where all is safe again. Quiet, and warm. The solace of salt air. The peace of danger left behind. The luxury of grief. And maybe, for a moment, you believe you have escaped."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"You can run far, you can take your small precautions. But have you really gotten away? Can you ever escape? Or is it the truth that you did not have the strength or cunning to hide from destiny? That the world is not small. you are. And, fate can find you anywhere."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"We are, if anything, creatures of habit. Drawn to the safety and the comfort of the similar. But what happens when the familiar becomes unsafe? When the fear that we've been desperately trying to avoid, finds us where we live?"
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"I know who I am. I like who I am. And I like who you are. I just wish you liked who you are."
- Zach, Heroes.
"You're broken. I can fix you."
- Sylar, Heroes.
"Who is it?"
"Destiny!"
"I wish Destiny would lose our number."
- Ando and Hiro Nakumura, Heroes.
"They were all like us!"
"Dysfunctional?"
- Peter Petrellie and Nathan Petrelli, Hereos.
"In the beginning there was discovery. A confusion of elements. The first snowfall of impossible change. Old lives undone, left behind. Strange faces, made familiar. New nightmares, to challenge sleep. New friends, to feel safe with. Only then comes control. The need to impose order unto chaos, through determination, through study, through struggle. All in defiance of a thundering truth. They're here, and the earth shudders underfoot."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"When we embrace what lies within, our potential knows no limit. The future is filled with promise. The present, rife with expectation. But when we deny our instinct, and struggle against our deepest urges... Uncertainty begins. Where does this path lead? When will the changes end? Is this transformation a gift... or a curse? And for those that fear what lies ahead... The most important question of all... Can we really change what we are?"
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"You cannot bribe a hero. My heart is true. My spirit unbreakable."
- Hiro Nakumura, Heroes.
"To survive in this world, we hold close to us those on whom we depend. We trust in them our hopes, our fears... But what happens when trust is lost? Where do we run, when things we believe in vanish before our eyes? When all seems lost, the future unknowable, our very existence in peril... All we can do is run."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"Fly, stop time, paint me a pretty picture, do something unexpected!"
- Claude to Peter Petrelli, Heroes.
"And when you've left New York a smoking crater we'll put that on your tombstone. "Here lies Peter Petrelli. He tried!"
- Claude to Peter Petrelli, Heroes.
"I understand, Father. To save what is most important... I must be strong enough... to cut out my heart."
- Hiro Nakumura, Heroes.
"Where does it come from? This quest? This need to solve lifes mysteries when the simpliest of questions can never be answered. Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we would be better off not looking at all. Not delving. Not yearning. But that's not human nature. Not the human heart. That is not why we are here. Yet still we struggle to make a difference. To change the world. To dream of hope. Never knowing for certain who we'll meet along the way. Who, among the world of strangers, will hold our hand. Touch our hearts. And share the pain of trying."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heores.
" Haven't I killed you before?"
"Didn't take."
- Sylar and Peter Petrelli, Heroes.
"We dream of hope,we dream of change,of fire,of love,of death,and then it happens,the dream becomes real. And the answer to the quest,this need to solve life's mysteries finally shows itself,like the glowing light of the new dawn. So much struggle, for meaning, for purpose, but in the end we find it only in each other. Our shared experiences of the fantastic, and the mundane. The simple, human need to find the kindred, to connect, and to know in our hearts that we are not alone."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"The sun rises on a new dawn. Yet few of us realize the debt we owe to those responsible for this. To those who dwell among us. Anonymous, seemingly ordinary, whom destiny brought together to heal, to save us, from ourselves."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"Look, I know you're looking for answers. We all are. But trust me, I'm not the guy to give them to you. I'm sorry."
- Nathan Petrelli, Heroes.
"When confronted by our worst nightmares, the choices are few. Fight, or flight. We hope to find the strength to stand against our fears but sometimes, despite ourselves, we run."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"Molly faced her worst nightmare for you. Do the same for her."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"It is man's ability to remember that sets us apart. We are the only species that is concerned with the past. How memories give us voice. And to bear witness to history so that others might learn. So that they might celebrate our triumphs and be warned of our failures."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"I accidentally set my grandmother's house on fire when I was six. Caused a blackout in four counties in Ohio when I was eight. I spent my ninth birthday in a glass room with an IV of lithium in my arm. I've lived in this building for sixteen years, ever since the shrinks diagnosed me as a sociopath with paranoid delusions - but they were just out to get me because I threatened to kill 'em. I'm 24 years old and I've never gone on a date. Never been on a roller coaster, never been swimming. And now you know everything there is to know about me. I don't have the luxury of being more interesting than that."
- Elle, Heroes.
"There are many ways to define our fragile existence. Many ways to give it meaning. But it is our memories that shape its purpose and give it context. The private assortment of images, fears, loves, regrets. For it is the cruel irony of life that we are destined to hold the dark with the light. The good with the evil. Success with disappointment. This is what separates us. What makes us human. And in the end, we must fight to hold on to."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heores.
"I refuse to eulogize my father. To eulogize him is to admit he is gone. My father is not dead. Kaito Nakamura taught me right from wrong. What it means to be a hero... so long as the lessons live on through me, he will never die. My father taught me to understand that certain things are in God's hands, but for everything else, God has given us the gift of choice. My father gave me the tools to fight the battles ahead. Every hand I extend in kindness is his hand. And every blow that I strike for justice is his fist. So long as the lessons he taught stay with me, and so long as he lives on in my heart, then my father is never truly dead."
- Hiro Nakumura, Heroes.
"Good afternoon. Most of you have no idea who I am. My name is Nathan Petrelli and I was elected to Congress in the state of New York. It seems like a long time ago. I lost my position. I lost my brother. I lost my family. I'm sad to say that I lost my way. But while I was gone, I've had the chance to see the world through newly-humbled eyes. Witnessed amazing things, seen ordinary people among us trying their best each day to be heroes. These ordinary people... like you, like me, are capable of extraordinary things. You have no idea... how extraordinary. But there are other people; organizations who don't want you to know the truth. I myself kept secrets. But last year, something incredible happened to me... and it changed my life. At first, I was afraid. But I'm... I'm not afraid anymore. I'm here to tell you the truth."
- Nathan Petrelli, Heroes.
"A child is born to innocence. A child is drawn towards good. Why then do so many among us go so horribly wrong? What makes some walk the path of darkness while others choose the light? Is it will, is it destiny? Can we ever hope to understand the force that shapes the soul? To fight evil, one must know evil. One must journey back through time and find that fork in the road, where heroes turn one way and villains turn another."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"On the sixth day, God created Man in His own image, and now it's up to us to figure it all out. Right...wrong...good...evil...in each of us is the capacity to decide what drives our actions. So what is it, then, that makes some choose selflessness, the need to devote themselves to something greater, while others know only self-interest? Isolating themselves in a world of their own making? Some seek love, even if only unrequited, while others are driven by fear and betrayal. There are those who see their choices as dark proof of God's absence while others follow a path of noble destiny. But in the end, right, wrong, good, or evil...what we choose is never what we really need. For that is the ultimate cosmic joke, the real gift that God has left behind"
- Sylar? Heroes.
"There is good, and there is evil. Right, and wrong. Heroes and villains. And if we are blessed with wisdom, then there are glimpses between the cracks of each where light streams through. We wait in silence for these times, when sense can be made. When meaningless existence comes into focus, and our purpose presents itself. And if we have the strength to be honest, and what we find there, staring back at us, is our own reflection. Bearing witness to the duality of life. And each one of us is capable of both the dark, and the light.. the good and evil, of either, of all. And destiny, while marching ever in our direction can be re rooted by the choices we make. By the love we hold on to, and the promises we keep."
- Mohinder Suresh, Heroes.
"What advice could I give you besides 'kiss my ass'?"
- Peter Petrelli, Heroes.
