One part of that code is badal—a tradition of revenge—where one insult must be answered by another, one death by another, and on and on it goes. I had had my taste of exacting revenge. And it was bitter. I vowed then that I would never partake in badal.” To me this is a powerful lesson of stopping a cycle of hurt. There is so much strength in choosing not to hurt others. ]]> 2020-03-24 22:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/473676493 Pedro Diaz-"Is there a connection between birthmarks and reincarnation?" by Ellen Lloyd https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/473705300 "He believed that not only emotions, memories but also physical injuries in the form of birthmarks, can be transferred from one life to another." This quote makes me think that each of us had a past life that could've been worse or better. ]]> 2020-03-24 23:28:35 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/473705300 From "Too much of anything is bad" by Robert M. Drake, from the book "Empty Bottles Full of Stories" Type: Poem brownkai0001 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/473750342 " The beautiful gift
and curse of being human,
to give and to take away.

To build or destroy

The same way people,
both men and women,
dead or alive,

Have gone through
and/or will go through

Too much of Too much."
This tells me that it is okay to feel and have emotion. Everyone goes through too much of something, whether it is good or bad. This also tells me that as humans we have the ability to make someones day or to ruin it. The choice is ours.]]> 2020-03-25 00:40:01 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/473750342 "Conspiracy 365" by Gabrielle Lord ortizjas000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/473798533 "All the time I am looking over my shoulder, scared that I'd see a black Subaru, or a dark blue Mercedes."

This quote makes me think that you shouldn't go on in life being scared all the time and that you have to live in the moment.]]> 2020-03-25 02:06:04 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/473798533 From “Lord of Shadows” by Cassandra Clare barbeale0001 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/473809485 “Everyone is afraid of something. We fear things because we value them. We fear losing people because we love them. We fear dying because we value being alive. Don’t wish you didn’t fear anything. All that would mean is that you didn’t feel anything.” To me this shows that without fear you are missing one of the key parts to living, which is to feel. This shows me that without fear, you would never feel accomplished after doing something that scares you. This shows me that you need to feel all emotions, the happy and the sad, to really feel alive.]]> 2020-03-25 02:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/473809485 From "Heir of Fire" by Sarah J. Maas alexahav000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/473851166 "She was now flushed with color, her eyes bright and clear, and though she'd regained the weight she'd lost that winter, her face was leaner. A woman-- a woman was smiling back at her, beautiful for every scar and imperfection and mark of survival, beautiful for the fact that the smile was real, and she felt it kindle the long-slumbering joy in her heart."
This quote is worth sharing because it states that no matter what mars your body, you are beautiful and I feel that some people need to hear that. It doesn't matter what someone looks like as long as they are happy.]]> 2020-03-25 03:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/473851166 from "The Alchemist" writer by Paulo Coelho. bonetril000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/473975360
“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”

I hear a lot of people say "I wish" or "I have a dream of..." and I always think of a "dream" as a goal to push yourself towards. You can never dream to big because there are so many opportunities to become better. So I always push my self to be better then last time and never give up. Never worry about the person next to you because you looking at them is going to slow you down, look forward and stay on your own path.

"Her sister was lying at the bottom of the pool, fully dressed and absolutely motionless."
This quote shows how one sentence can show so much. The author was able to write this one simple sentence and I can imagine the whole situation as if I were right there watching it.]]> 2020-03-25 16:15:10 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/474902084 From "The Porcupine of Truth" by, Bill Konigsberg garciale0021 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/474942765 Reason Why I Chose It: Funny
"Fewer than twenty-four hours ago, I was standing in Gray's Papaya on Seventy-Second Street and Amsterdam Avenue in New York City, watching passersby ignore someone who was having what appeared to be an epileptic seizure while eating a chili dog." ]]> 2020-03-25 16:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/474942765 From "Sometimes I Think" by Stephen Elliot hawkilea000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/475065519 "It's like when two objects in space pass each other: you can't tell which one is moving and which one is standing still." This quote is about people who tell the same story in two different ways, you don't know which one is right or wrong because you weren't a part of it. This is important because it reminds you to not always believe what you first hear, but to look at the bigger picture and then make your judgments.]]> 2020-03-25 17:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/475065519 Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist crawfjak000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/475214684
“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
I like this quote cause it has a sense of hope and wonder and gives a possibility to make something interesting.]]> 2020-03-25 18:43:47 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/475214684 From "Turtles All the Way Down" by John Green. Type: Novel henyamia000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/475536096 “You're both the fire and the water that extinguishes it. You're the narrator, the protagonist, and the sidekick. You're the storyteller and the story told. You are somebody's something, but you are also your you.”
This quote is reminds us that we are not only part of our own lives, we are a part of countless others. It shows us that you are you- that can't change. You're not just going to become someone else, so make the most of you . It also shows that we have the power to influence many people, for better or worse. ]]> 2020-03-25 22:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/475536096 From "19 Minutes" by Jodi Picoult. Type: Book ferguell000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/476993528 "When you begin a journey of revenge, start by digging two graves: one for your enemy and one for yourself. - A Chinese Proverb"
This quote is important because it shows that revenge is not the answer because it usually ends in not only hurting the person you are enacting it upon but also yourself. Peace is sometimes the better option or you will just end up hurting yourself all over again.]]> 2020-03-26 17:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/476993528 From "I Am The Messenger" by Markus Zusak tiwarswa000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477066219 "Where are you now? I ask, and I turn, exoecting to see a figure standing somewhere in the theater. I anticipate sme footsteps scattering across the floor behind us. I jerk my head around to look. There are people everywhere, but nowhere. In each black space I find, I think I locate someone, but each time, the darkness thickens and that's all there is. Darkness."
This quote shows that most times we are always expecting someone or something to come for us for help, or to come at us. However, it rarely happens where what you are expecting turns into reality. In the quote, the author is expecting someone to show up, but everytime he thinks he has found that person, the darkness or the reality surrounds him, making him realize the truth. The quote shows that people should anticipate and expect, however letting it get to your head can make one forget the reality. ]]> 2020-03-26 17:50:10 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477066219 From "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477094004 Akeakamai Paikuli
"Sweat more during peace: Bleed less during war"
I love this quote because it's true for everybody that want to succeed in life. Not only for war or battles. But for everyday wars we do in our lives. I live by this quote, through sports, to assinments. The best way to prepare.]]> 2020-03-26 18:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477094004 From the song "Imagine" by Nico & Vinz stapllea000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477125650 " 'The only thing that matters is what you believe' If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything."

After listening to this song, I looked up the lyrics and this specific part stood out to me. It makes me think about my religion and how I have benefited from believing something. I have something I stand for and a purpose to what I believe. Also, the words are just well said and straight to the point. ]]> 2020-03-26 18:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477125650 From "365 Days of Wonder" by R.J. Palacio. Type: book full of quotes dittonat000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477151596 "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it." --Michelangelo Buonarroti.
I like this quote because it puts some of our perspectives about life into words that we can all understand. This tells me to set my goals higher and try to achieve them.]]> 2020-03-26 18:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477151596 From "The Rise of Skyward" by Rae Carson https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477162245 "He kept seeing her face, the way her lips had parted with surprise, the way her body had canted toward him." To me this is almost powerful how much words can have affect on people and how they can influence a person. As soon as he mentioned this I realized and knew that he was falling in love with her. I loved how much visual language was given during this quote and how the emotion shows through it.

Get a grip."

This whole book is hilarious and never fails to make me laugh, but that line from the character Cameron made me laugh especially hard for some reason.]]> 2020-03-26 18:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477184080 “‘I know some things,’ he said. ‘I can, you know, do math and stuff.’” — Harry Potter staplcar000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477195463 I liked this quote because it reminded me of myself. Harry had just been told he knew nothing, referring to the magical world but it was a quote that just made me smile. ]]> 2020-03-26 18:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477195463 "White Fang" by Jack London sampaabh000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477227225 "But at the front and rear, unawed and indomitable, toiled the two men who were not yet dead. Their bodies were covered with fur and soft-tanned leather. Eyelashes and cheeks and lips were so coated with the crystals from their frozen breaths that their faces were not discernable. This gave them the seeming of ghostly masques, undertakers in a spectral world at the funeral of some ghost. But under it all they were men, penetrating the land of desolation and mockery and silence, puny adventerurs bent on colossal adventure, pitting themselves against the might of a world as remote and alien and pulseless as the abysses of space."
This quote reminds me that whatever trouble we are in, however we look like, whatever actions we do; under it all we are human. ]]> 2020-03-26 19:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477227225 From "Enrique's Journey" by Sonia Nazario larioado000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477245154 "I figure when I die, I can't take anything with me. So why not give?"
This quote is really inspires me because why worry so much about what you have and what you want when you're just going to leave it behind when you die. It motivates me to want to give more and worry less about what I want and what I have.]]> 2020-03-26 19:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477245154 From "The Trials of Apollo" by Rick Riordan larsechr000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477285032 “We only have one life, but we can choose what kind of story it’s going to be.”
I like this quote because it tells you that you are the main character to your life's story and can choose how the ending goes.]]> 2020-03-26 19:59:43 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477285032 From “Milk and Honey” by Rupi Kaur kinlolil000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477323863 “You leave but you don’t stay gone
why do you do that
why do you abandon the thing you want to keep
why do you linger in a place you do not want to stay why do you think it is OK to do both go
and return all at once”

This quote was when a girl finally stood up to speak her opinion and confront her lover. Which reminded me of experiences many face in society today. It is the way uncertain people can confuse you and in a way mess with your emotions. An instance that we all see very often is being taken advantage of and manipulated. You can tell from the girls perspective that she is passionate about the situation by the repetitiveness in the quote.]]> 2020-03-26 20:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477323863 From the short story "The Dead" by Michael Swanwick, from book " The Year's Best Science Fiction, 1996." seetal000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477328656 "Three boys zombies in matching Red Jackets bused our table, bringing water, lighting candles, washing away the crumbs between courses. Their eyes were dark, attentive, lifeless; their hands and faces so white as to be faintly luminous in the hushed light. I thought it in bad taste, but “ This is Manhattan” Courtney said “ a certain studied offensiveness is fashionable here.”

The blond brought menus and waited for our order. We both ordered pheasant. “An excellent choice,” the boy said in a clear, emotionless voice. He went away and came back a minute later with the freshly strangled birds, holding them up for our approval. He couldn't have been more than 11 when he died and his skin was of that sort that connoisseurs call “ milk- glass,” smooth, without blemish, and all but translucent. He must have cost a fortune.""
This quote is from a book my dad made me read. It is a surrealist take on the world if we bought and sold zombies. And how to jobs for humans would decrease because zombies could do them more efficiently. I thought this was an interesting take and the opening quote is gripping.

You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…” this is my choice because it really shows how we're responsible for what we do in life.]]> 2020-03-26 20:33:24 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477332031 From "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky, Novel okubohan000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477368996 "You ever think, Charlie, that our group is the same as any other group like the football team? And the only real difference between us is what we wear and why we wear it?" This quote puts things into perspective, showing us that people aren't very different from each other. A lot of us have experienced similar problems or situations that can bring us closer together. It's important to remember that we are all a lot similar to others than we think we are.]]> 2020-03-26 21:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477368996 From "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky florecad000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477555132 "But mostly, I was crying because I was suddenly very aware of the fact that it was me standing in that tunnel. And I was really there. And that was enough to make me feel infinite... So even if this does end up being my last letter, please believe that things are good with me, and even if they're not, they will be soon enough. And I will believe the same about you"

I thought this quote was worth sharing because it makes me feel hopeful. That one day you can feel infinite, and feel alive. Whether it's in two months or in two years. But you can, and you can be okay. It will always take time to be okay if you are not, but I have to believe that one day, I'll be the one in the car with the windows down driving at night with Heroes by David Bowie playing as the wind blows in my face. And I like to believe that I'm not the only one that feels that way.]]> 2020-03-27 00:29:13 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/477555132 From "Finale" by Stephani Garber maisocou000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/478611762 "She was the hero of her own story, and it was time to save herself from him."

This text emphasizes how important it is to choose what paths you take. It's beneficiary to avoid toxic situations/people and do whatever's healthiest for yourself.]]> 2020-03-27 15:19:12 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/478611762 From "An Abundance of Katherines" by John Green padilste0001 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/478750376 "That's who you really like. The people who you can think out loud in front of."

I like this quote because it is really true when you are making friends. You know someone is a really good friend when you don't have to filter yourself and you can say whatever comes to mind without worry that they'll judge you. ]]> 2020-03-27 16:20:34 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/478750376 From "1984" by George Orwell. Type : Novel. thurlgre000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/478787915 “If people cannot write well, they cannot think well, and if they cannot think well, others will do their thinking for them.”

This quote is to speak to the importance of education. To be able to make complex thoughts it is necessary for us to be able to express these thoughts. The way we can express these thoughts is through language. By learning to read and write, we are able to develop our own thoughts and ideas and effectively articulate them.]]> 2020-03-27 16:38:11 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/478787915 Focused by Noelle Pikus Pace Type: Auto biography hebdomak000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/478929299 "The 'world' tried to tell me that I was not good enough... And I believed it for a moment."
I liked this quote because it is very deep and inspirational. I think that so many people struggle with what others say about them and it's hard to not believe what they are saying and just forget it and move on. ]]> 2020-03-27 17:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/478929299 From "Twilight" by Stephenie Meyers burgecar001 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/478930448 "I like the night. Without the dark, we'd never see the stars."
This quote reminds me that even in our darkest hour there is still something there. Still something that can shed just a small amount of light on this dire situation. Because without our darkest times we'd never be able to see the truly magical, lovely and amazing moments in our life. Without the dark you can never appreciate the stars. So even in are darkest times always remember that there are still the stars.]]> 2020-03-27 17:55:27 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/478930448 The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479000372 “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Isn’t that what they say? Bout how close is too close when they may be one and the same?” I like this quote because it opens your eyes. It opens your eyes to see the fake people and the horrible world around us. How everyone isn’t who you thought they were. To not judge a book by its cover but the contents of the book.

This quote helps you remember that focusing on the future can take up all of your attention that you have no time to appreciate what you have. I like this quote because it makes you think about how great your life is if you just wait and think of the good.]]> 2020-03-27 19:54:02 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479093243 From "We Contain Multitudes" by Sarah Henstra tamezale000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479104976 "I guess I was looking for a second opinion about you and they way you stand out so much. And how you do it on purpose, it seems. Wearing all those costumes et cetera. Drawing fire, is how I think of it. How you draw fire."
This quote stands out to me because it shows even though you may not think of it, there are people who pay attention to even the smallest of details. There are people who you don't even know who want to learn more but are too scared to act.]]> 2020-03-27 20:03:37 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479104976 follaaut000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479168202 “When you said you had to go I didn’t think you meant for this long.” -Reverse myg.

I just thought this was a beautiful quote because the person she was telling this to is someone she cares for deeply and when they left they left a void inside of her. Its pretty sad but most people could find this quote relatable because everyone is missing something or we found that missing something during our lifetime.

]]> 2020-03-27 21:04:02 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479168202 From "The Warrior's Curse" by Jennifer Nielsen petereli000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479183203 "She has a warrior's heart, but a soul within her that you may take a lifetime to deserve."
I like this quote because I think it has contrast in the person being described. It shows that she is strong and kind at the same time. It shows that people can be more than one thing and aren't characterized by one action. It's super cool to compare the contrast in people's personalities.]]> 2020-03-27 21:20:18 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479183203 "Jane, Unlimited" by Kristin Cashore mearsgab000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479184301 "Maybe if they carried away all of the nothing, she'd be left with something."
I like this quote because it shows how we look for a purpose in all of the wrong places. To keep living chasing fufillment from temporary things. I think if one was to really pay attention to their situation, they could find their meaning in the world.]]> 2020-03-27 21:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479184301 Jackie Greenwald From Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479220613 “It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”

In today’s world there are so many opportunities for my generation than there ever has been. But too many people take these chances for granted. Wishing to have excellent careers, dreaming of a better future than a reality now. But this quote proves that dreams do not get you anywhere. Living a hardworking life does. Putting effort into what you do. Striving for goodness, not expecting it to fall in front of you on a silver platter.]]> 2020-03-27 22:06:52 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479220613 From Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling mullejac000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479247039
“It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.”

In this day and age, my generation has endless more opportunities than any other before. But, one quality that we are beginning to lose is our sense of hard work and dedication. We wish for amazing careers, we dream of a better future than the present reality. But we don’t take action towards what we want. We spend all of our time imagining. This quote is a great reminder that dwelling on what we want will not get us anywhere. If you want to become a neuroscientist, you have to put in the work, the studying. If you want to have a big, beautiful house, you have to make money. We focus on “if” instead of “when”, expecting life to reward us. But we have to learn to live good lives in order to achieve our goals. They won’t be handed on a silver platter, but rather, on a plate you spent working night shifts, studying hard, and putting effort into your life to obtain. A plate bought with blood, sweat, and tears.]]> 2020-03-27 22:47:41 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479247039 From "Charlotte" by Sody seelimal0002 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/479362381 "I just wanna know if you're still fine.

He is responsible for the attack that happened onto there people's hideout/shelter and he now understands that he made a mistake that killed a lot of there people. Markus, there peoples resistance leader, understands that it was a mistake and that he is free now, so he won't hurt his own people ever again.

tears living in her eyes

This entire book is full of beautiful writing telling woman that they are strong and they are beautiful and that no matter what comes their way they will get through it. This poem is important to me because it tells of a sort of broken girl who seems to care too much about people who don't care about her at all. I know a lot of girls my age feel like no one cares about them so I feel like they can relate but also they need to know that someone does care.]]> 2020-03-28 23:08:15 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/480010095 ¨The 57 Bus¨ by Dashka Slater ayalader000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/481004341 ¨Never let your obstacles become more important than your goal.¨

I think that this quote is powerful and thoughtful because of how inspiring and confident it is.

That's what everyone told me. I didn't feel very lucky, lying there in the most excruciating physical pain of my life."
When we get injured in some way, especially emotional hurt, we are often told to suck it up, that others have it worse than us and that we should be grateful the situation isn't worse. I like this quote because while the context is very serious it's a funny line, but mostly because it shows how useless having that attitude is. The knowledge that it could be worse won't help you heal; in order to truly be able to recover from something, you need to acknowledge your pain and know that just because other people have it worse or that it could have been much worse for you, that doesn't take away from what you feel and it's impact on your life.]]> 2020-03-30 08:31:23 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/481525958 From "ignite me" By Tahereh Mafi worthsav000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/482343134 "You deserve so much more then charity, you deserve to live."

I like this quote because a lot of the time we stress and worry about things that don't matter in the future and we get caught up in things that we shouldn't be caught up in. I think people sometimes try and be so perfect that if they mess up they stress and worry and they don't even think to themselves that one day they will not remember what they messed up on because it was such a small thing in their life.]]> 2020-03-30 15:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/482414855 From Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban Book by J.K.

'Only innocent lives, Peter!'"
I feel that this quote stands out because it is powerful and it shows a difference in the beliefs of people. Peter is only interested in his self preservation and what he gains from his actions. Sirius Black cares out not just himself, but also about those around him, and is willing to do whatever he needs to to protect them, even if it means putting his life in danger.
Another reason I believe this quote stands out is because it is a good reminder to us that just going along with something even though we know it is wrong can and will hurt others. It reminds me of Night by Elie Wiesel when the Jews were scared and didn't want to cause a fuss about the German soldiers started to make changes in their lives that ended up in most of them being killed. ]]> 2020-03-30 15:48:56 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/482539435 From "The Long Walk" by Stephen King hernaeli0021 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/482693095 "Stebbins turned and looked at Garraty with huge, floating eyes that saw nothing for a moment.

I like this quote because for the entire book up until this point (the second to last page), Stebbins was the most calm during the whole walk.

I find this quote to be a very strange yet understandable take on the evolution of nature. I don't think I truly understand what he's saying, but I have an idea of what he means. Peterson is saying that evolution is not random like some would like to say it is. However some say that it is obvious how evolution will go, Peterson on the other hand believes that neither of these people would be correct. Yet I don't think that's the only meaning in this quote because Peterson typically leaves secondary meanings to a lot of his writing. ]]> 2020-03-30 17:05:57 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/482746578 From "The Crossover" By Kwame Alexander tallospe000 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/482748199 “Basketball Rule #1

I like this quote because it shows how emotional, mental, and physical manipulation can lead someone to believe they cannot live without their manipulator. The main character Paul Sheldon is abused and manipulated my Annie Wilkes but she has complete control over him. She gets into his mind and controls what he does and how he thinks. She has him hooked on "special" pain killers and she makes him believe that even though she's insane, without her and the pills he can't live.

This quote is powerful not only in the context of the play, . In the scene, Mark Antony gives this prophecy while standing over the corpse of Julius Caesar. Antony says that from this point forward, men will be filled with war and fight one another like never before, till their corpses beg to be buried.

I like this quote because it talks about knowing yourself worth. It is important to know your worth, because many people won't validate that and try to hurt you. In this case you need to remove those people from your life and surround yourself with positive people.

This quote is important not only in the play but off the stage. When Mark Antony finds Julius Caesar's dead body, he is so distraught that he gives a prophecy. Men will fight with each other like never before: till their copses beg to be buried. Shakespeare knew not only that war destroyed the Roman Republic, but that violent wars would keep happening as long as long as someone is breathing.

One reason that I thought this quote was powerful was because it displays a sense of indefinite purpose.

We can do our best to get to know them in the time we have."
I think this quote is worth sharing because it shows people that we don't have control over other people thoughts and actions, but we can always control our own. People will come and go but the loyal and friendly will stay and those are the people you have to spend your time on and love.]]> 2020-03-31 18:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/485193078 From "Milk and Honey" by Rapi Kaur barajeri001 https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/485214422 ""don't mistake

I like this quote because it talks about knowing yourself worth. It is important to know your worth, because many people won't validate that and try to hurt you. In this case you need to remove those people from your life and surround yourself with positive people. I know this quote refers to a guy not valuing a woman, but I'm saying that everyone should know they're valuable as a person and not let anyone bring them down.

I thought this quote was beautiful because, for me, it represents love as a type of understanding. To really, truly love someone, you have to understand them. You have to be able to look at them and see them for who they are, not just who you want/expect them to be. And they've got to see you back. A lot of John Green's quotes are like this, so I'd recommend his books if you liked it. ]]> 2020-04-02 20:14:48 UTC https://padlet.com/smigajm/Bookmarks/wish/489859099
