"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing."
George Bernard Shaw
"Even now, all possible feelings do not yet exist, there are still those that lie beyond our capacity and our imagination. From time to time, when a piece of music no one has ever written or a painting no one has ever painted, or something else impossible to predict, fathom or yet describe takes place, a new feeling enters the world. And then, for the millionth time in the history of feeling, the heart surges and absorbs the impact."
Nicole Krauss

"The answer is never the answer. What’s really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you’ll always be seeking. I’ve never seen anybody really find the answer — they think they have, so they stop thinking.

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like ‘maybe we should be just friends’ turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love."
Neil Gaiman
“When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell,leap."

And that pain you feel? That’s life. The confusion and fear? That’s there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better, and that something is worth fighting for."
One Tree Hill
"Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."

Hot Towel
I am actually an alien who came from the planet Wowkaoehzsimilaieh.
I'm here on planet Earth for a mission. (But till now, I'm still not very sure what the mission is actually about...)
This stay on Earth has actually been more than 2 decades since I first arrived in the form of an earthling, weighing not more than 4 pounds，on the 5th Febuary. The doctor who "delivered" me was actually a fellow alien. Due to some miscalculations in transforming into my earthling form, I carried a sixth toe on my right feet. My fellow alien doctor friend wrapped my feet up in clothes called "socks" when I was ready to be brought home by my earthling parents and the sure to come about commotion took place when my socks were being taken off when I reached my home on Earth.
I'm born under the star sign Aquarius. In order to blend well with my lifestyle and to stay in low profile, I adopted this blur look ever since I reached the stable age of 5. Instead, it brought me more attention than I intended and I ended up being always pinched on me cheeks and getting exclaims like, "Ooh! How cute!"
That may explain the pimples on me face now; the germs on the hands whom had pinched my cheeks may had stayed and started building their territories and thus started their colonies ... But nonetheless, it helped me blend in more among the earthlings. （Oh bother. ）
Sometimes, it's hard on this stay on earth, but still, I'm very grateful - to my earthling parents, my brother and all the friends I have make around the world. Although I've lost all my memories on my hometown Wowkaoehzsimilaieh, I know that one day, I will slowly come to recall and understand the mission and the meaning of this stay on Earth...
Looking forward to more adventures! Everyday! Everytime! I know that one day, I will go back to Wowkaoehzsimilaieh, so this stay on Earth should be made as happy as possible! The bad traits I'd picked up during this period of time on Earth indeed still need lots of time to shake them off... but one day, I will learn to let go... for I know, nothing's impossible for me who came from the planet Wowkaoehzsimilaieh!
