"The best people possess a feeling for beauty,
The courage to take risks,
The discipline to tell the truth,
The capacity for sacrifice.
Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable
Yet, they are often wounded,
Sometimes destroyed."
- Ernest Hemingway
This quote by Ernest Hemingway, is an overpowering quote with immense meaning. It means that people have the power, courage and beauty to live and be strong, but they are often wounded or destroyed in the process. People are able to sacrifice, and yet still live, but they will always be vulnerable to be  shattered.

This is a quote, so therefore, MY opinion is MY opinion. :) Please no mean comments!

More quotes to come!... Enjoy! :)

I gave so much
at the expense of my own tarnished soul
and now you hate me,
why?
because I couldn't do it anymore?
or
because so quickly I was gone?
on an entirely different road
from what I once struggled along
I couldn't do that anymore
I needed to go
to get out
to be free
Whats wrong with you?
Did I not sacrifice enough of me
to meet your expectations?
would you rather I died?
Became a roadkill?
because that's where I was headed.
Sometimes goodbye has to hurt.
