Quotations.

"There will always be a 'lie' in believe, 'over' in lover, 'end' in friends and 'if' in life" (Anon) - Sad, but true. I definitely understand this one: what if? I know you shouldn't think like that, but it's an interesting perspective of life.

"I always knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh, but I never knew looking back on the laughs would make me cry" (Anon) - You realise that what you have cried about may seem 'silly' but then looking back on the laughs you miss them, it's sad.

"Wishes heaven had a phone, so I could hear your voice again, I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have is memories and a picture in a frame" (Anon) - Miss you my beautiful Nan, it's been two years, and I am still thinking of you each and everyday, every moment and wondering if you are looking down on me, I know you are as you would have wished that. I love you so much, and I know you're in a safer place and that's heaven, one day I'll see you and give you a big hug like ours before.

"In life, it's best to just let it happen. Things mess up, people come and leave, memories fade, but at the end of the day you're only living as one person, if you're not happy, simply do something about it" (Anon) - Life is sometimes horrible, life is too short... Let mistakes and sad things rub off and be forgotten, if you're not happy, life has taken over and it shouldn't. Be yourself, live for the moment, smile.

"He ignores you, but you still like him. He does nothing, but you fall for him, you miss him, eventhough you know he's never thought about you, not even once" (Anon) - Love is blind, it takes over... no one see's the 'real, inner' person of the one you love.

"And, in a funny way, each death is different and you mourn each death differently and each death brings back the death you mourned earlier and you get into a bit of a pile-up" (Nigella Lawson) - Things build up, and reminders are always present, this makes us all dwell on things. Especially something as powerful as death which has a degree of madness.

"At some stages of your life you will deal with things and at others you are overwhelmed with misery and anxiety" (Nigella Lawson) - Somethings in life just can't be dealt with and forgotten, emotional is messy and contradictory.

"But if you know that something has been really vicious, you don't read it. You don't let it into your head. What's damaging is when sentences go through your head and you burn with the injustice of it" (Nigella Lawson) - People sit there and read, dwell on horrible comments etc about themselves, why do it? It's just upsetting, and if it keeps going around in your mind it's unfair and it makes you regret ever reading it.

"I never have plans for the future as you never know how things will turn out" (Nigella Lawson) - Why plan things when the future is never definite, why set stone when life changes, things change, people change, the environment changes... Let the future take hold, there is so many possibilities, why close those down so quickly?

"I think maybe when you live with someone who is really ill for a long time, it somehow gives you a more greedy appetitie for life and maybe, yes, you are less measured in your behaviour than you otherwise would be" (Nigella Lawson) - Seeing other peoples pain and suffering, especially loved ones, makes you realise that life is far too short, and that they are trying to grab on for life whilst life comes easy and is being kind to you, be grateful, take advantage of life, as it doesn't stay forever.

"There is a kind of euphoria of grief, a degree of madness" (Nigella Lawson)

"There is a vast difference between how things seem from the outside and how they feel on the inside" (Nigella Lawson) - People can easily mask their emotions by putting on a brave face, but infact, inside they are unhappy, in need of support. No one should just judge people based on how they look, but also ask them how they feel - let them open up to you.

"You don't go around grieving all the time, but the grief is still there and always will be" (Nigella Lawson) - Physically you are not grieving: crying etc, but inside, in your heart and mind you are thinking about your loss and not letting yourself dwell on it, as life goes on, it has to, it must. You will always feel heartache towards loss, but you won't let it take over - life is too short.

I love quotations, they're all so true. Quotations are what inspire us and make us think about life etc.
