"Was it summer when the river ran dry,
Or was it just another dam.
When the evil of a snowflake in June
Could still be a source of relief.
O how I love you, I once cried long ago,
But I was the one who decided to go.
To search beyond the final crest,
Though I'd heard it said just birds could dwell so high.

So I pretended to have wings for my arms
And took off in the air.
I flew to places which the clouds never see,
Too close to the deserts of sand,
Where a thousand mirages, the shepherds of lies
Forced me to land and take a disguise.
I would welcome a horse's kick to send me back
If I could find a horse not made of sand.

If this desert's all there'll ever be
Then tell me what becomes of me.
A fall of rain?
That must have been another of your dreams,
A dream of mad man moon.

Hey man,
I'm the sand man.
And boy have I news for you;
They're gonna throw you in gaol
And you know they can't fail
'Cos sand is thicker than blood.
But a prison in sand
Is a haven in hell,
For a gaol can give you a goal
[and a] goal can find you a role
On a muddy pitch in Newcastle,
Where it rains so much
You can't wait for a touch
Of sun and sand, sun and sand...

Within the valley of shadowless death
They pray for thunderclouds and rain,
But to the multitude who stand in the rain
Heaven is where the sun shines.
The grass will be greener till the stems turn to brown
And thoughts will fly higher till the earth brings them down.
Forever caught in desert lands one has to learn
To disbelieve the sea.

If this desert's all there'll ever be
Then tell me what becomes of me.
A fall of rain?
That must have been another of your dreams,
A dream of mad man moon."
- Mad Man Moon by Genesis

"You call this victory you say the battle's won
You call this justice when without her there's no sun
You call this freedom, well you make up your own mind
I call this madness looking from the other side

When this thing started
It was more than just a dream, that kept us warm
Through every crazy moment we pushed on
Searching for the perfect sky
To be as one again
As one together we would fly

You call this victory you say the battle's won
You call this justice when without her there's no sun
You call this freedom, well you make up your own mind
I call this madness looking from the other side

Now I must get ready
To face up to what I see now is the truth
I need to see your eyes again on fire
And hear the beating of your heart

We had so little time
So little time for turning back
I know it's oh so easy to forget
And I know it's oh so easy to regret
And maybe time can take this fear away
Reminding me you were so sure
You had the key and you had found the door
Hey lady -

You call this victory you say the battle's won
You call this justice when without her there's no sun
You call this freedom, well you make up your own mind
I call this madness looking from the other side

You call this victory..."

Okay. Here goes my Facebook quotes section. Note that most of Albus Dumbledore's and Sirius Black's quotes can be fit in here, too.

"If ever there's a tomorrow when we're not together, there's something you must always remember. You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you. If there's ever a tomorrow when we're not together, keep me in your heart. I'll stay there forever." - Christopher Robin, Winnie the Pooh

"I'm defying gravity, and you can't pull me down!" - Elphaba, Wicked

"When words fail, music speaks." - Hans Christian Andersen
...
"How do you spell 'love'?"
"You don't spell it...you feel it." - Piglet and Pooh

"I'll see you on the dark side of the moon." - Pink Floyd

"You're just as sane as I am." - Luna Lovegood, Harry Potter

"Feel kindly toward everyone, but be intimate only with the virtuous." - Confucius

"I know it hurts to be lied to. Trust me, I do, but there's nothing we can do about it now. I'm glad that you're able to cry, because it means you're able to let out some of your anger and sorrow, but never forget that, no matter how deceived you feel, no matter how hard it may be, that we live in a beautiful world, and that tomorrow could always be one of the best days of our lives." - Len, Lesson.For.You

"Strange, dear. But true, dear." - Kate, Kiss Me Kate

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

"Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it." - Michelangelo

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift. That's why we call it the present." - Eleanor Roosevelt

"We are all born mad. Some remain so." - Samuel Beckett

"To love another person is to see the face of God." - Les Misérables

"I'm happy to be alive. I'm happy to be who I am." - Michael Jackson

“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny." - Paulo Coelho

There’s a wheel turning in the center of the earth
and over it, our feet are always running, running,
trying to keep pace.
Then there’s a period of quietude and rue,
when you want to crawl inside yourself,
when you prefer ugliness to hope.

A few of my favorites:

"'Begin with the End in Mind' means to begin each day, task, or project with a clear vision of your desired direction and destination, and then continue by flexing your proactive muscles to make things happen."
--Stephen Covey

"With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed. Consequently he who molds public sentiment goes deeper than he who enacts statutes or pronounces decisions."
--Abraham Lincoln

"You've gotta learn to chill. Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while--and do whatever you want all the time--you could miss it."
--Eric Cartman

"For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
--Matthew 23:12

"The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool."
--Richard Feynman

“Humans are the only animals that will follow an unstable pack leader.”
--Cesar Millan

"The moment a person forms a theory, his imagination sees in every object only the traits which favor that theory."
--Thomas Jefferson

"If there is anything that a man can do and do it well, I say let him do it. Give him a chance."
--Abraham Lincoln

"A manufacture of bologna sausage accused a man whom he had discharged of spreading a report that the manufacturer's sausage was made of dog meat. The accused man protested: I never said any such thing, but I will tell you what I did say. I said that where bologna sausages are plentiful, dogs are scarce."
--Sam Houston

I have always been impressed by the fact that there are a surprising number of individuals who never use their minds if they can avoid it, and an equal number who do use their minds, but in an amazingly stupid way.

— C.G. Jung
