Point You to the Mirror

Next time you point a finger, I'll point you to the mirror.

Paramore in "Playing God"

This may be a simple message but it is still relevant now. You should always look at yourself before you judge others because you may be the one who is pointed to the mirror.

When You've Crossed that Line

They say everyone's born a hero, but if you let it life will push you over the line until you're the villain. Problem is, you don't always know that you've crossed that line.

Jessica Jones from Jessica Jones "AKA Smile"

I think there is a fine line between hero and villain and I most definitely think that the smallest thing can change a hero into a villain or vice versa. It may be hard for this person to recognize the transformation.

All Kinds of Courage

There are all kinds of courage. It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

J.K. Rowling in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s stone"

I think it is strange that it can be harder to stand up to those we know and love than to stand up to our enemies. It does make sense though because we have much more to lose with those we have a relationship with.

Love Needs Sacrifice

All we need is love, but love needs sacrifice. But it's sure worth the price, if you get it right.

Young Rising Son in “High”

Every relationship needs to have sacrifices from all parties involved in order to be successful. I think that true and strong relationships are worth the price of most of these sacrifices.

The Sun with Rise Again

No matter the unforeseeable consequences of our actions, when all seems lost and the future remains uncertain, we take solace in the knowledge that the sun will rise again. And what is destined will remain.

Mohinder Suresh from Heroes Reborn "Sundae, Bloody Sundae"

I think when we face our failures, we think, or at least dearly hope, that the people that come after us can succeed where we fell short. To us, our children or our students are the sun that will rise again.

This quote is for April 17, 2017.

No Arguing Against Belief

There was no arguing against belief. It was a foreign language to logic.

Alwyn Hamilton in “Rebel of the Sands”

There are times when belief can be just as dangerous as it is inspiring. When belief is held to so tightly that it blinds to common sense, it becomes a disadvantage rather than a plus.

This quote is for April 16, 2017.

Catalyst to Your Happiness

You're a catalyst to your own happiness, you know. You're the decider of the world you will get to know.

NONONO in "Pumpin Blood"

I think that you can create your reality based on your own perspective. If you can see the beautiful in the bleak, then your reality can change for the better, and vice versa.

This quote is for April 15, 2017.

Words, Words, and Words

Truth is singular. Lies are words, words, and words.

Madame Vastra from Doctor Who "The Snowmen"

It seems to me that liars spin elaborate and long explanations behind their lies. Once a person lies, they have to keep spinning lies in order to sustain their first.

This quote is for April 14, 2017.

By Any Hero

Starting is too great a claim for any, and only a small part is played in great deeds by any hero.

J.R.R Tolkien in “The Fellowship of the Ring”

I think the best stories, whether real or fictional, or those that have a hero that has help from various support systems. These stories are more realistic to me because the world is too large to be saved by one person.

This quote is for April 13, 2017.

Fight for My Future Somethings

Every day I fight for all my future somethings. A thousand little wars I have to choose between. I could spend a lifetime earning things that I don't need. Cause when it all boils down at the end of the day, it's what you do and say that makes you who you are.

Natasha Bedingfield in "Strip Me"

Fighting for your future can sometimes mean fighting a thousand little wars in order to win the battle. The smallest thing can make such a big difference.

This quote is for April 12, 2017.

A Bird Fly So High

I ain't never seen a bird fly so high it don't have to come down sometime.

Tara Thornton from True Blood "You'll Be the Death of Me"

No matter how happy or successful you are, there will most likely be some event or consequence that will bring you down. This does not mean that you should always be in fear of when things go wrong; you should just keep this in mind so that you can be prepared if it does happen.

This quote is for April 11, 2017.

Casually Destroying the Past

One does not casually destroy the past, even those parts that are toad ugly. At least one does not do so on a whim. It is wrong to destroy without knowing what is being destroyed.

Jack Cady in Seven Sisters from “The Dark: New Ghost Stories”

We, as a society, are very careless with our history. We ignore the parts that are not flattering and dramatize the good parts. We need to learn from the truth of our past.

This quote is for April 10, 2017.

I am Unbreakable

Where are the people that accused me? The ones who beat me down and bruised me. They hide just out of sight, can't face me in the light. They'll return but I'll be stronger. This time I'm not scared. I am unbreakable, it's unmistakable. No one can touch me, nothing can stop me.

Fireflight in "Unbreakable"

Unfortunately in the technologically advanced age we live in, bullies have the ability to hide behind a screen, a fake name, and very little consequences for their actions. It is hard to stand up to them when their victims don't even know who they are.

This quote is for April 09, 2017.

A Measure of Man

Time is not the measure of man, only what he achieves.

Monkey King from The Librarians "And the Fatal Separation"

An individual can have all the time in the world but if he or she does not utilize it to the fullest then it is wasted. The person who uses every second as if it is his or her last, can make a little time be just as fruitful as all the time in the world.

This quote is for April 08, 2017.

Being Underestimated

Being underestimated wasn’t a bad thing, especially when it came to surprising an enemy.

Nicole Peeler in “Borderline Dead” from Dead But Not Forgotten: Stories from the World of Sookie Stackhouse

Sometimes the way to a win is having your enemies underestimate your abilities. However, this can also go against you if you underestimate your own enemies.

This quote is for April 07, 2017.

I Already Won

I'm in the race but I already won. And getting there can be half the fun.

Hoku in "Perfect Day"

This may be very clichéd but the journey can be more fun and informational than the destination. The lessons learned in the journey can also make the rewards earned at the destination even sweeter.

This quote is for April 06, 2017.

Tomorrow's Promised to No One

Tomorrow's promised to no one, but I insist upon my past. I am entitled to that. It's mine.

Clara Oswald from Doctor Who “Hell Bent"

The one thing that is completely unique to each individual is his or her past. Every person experiences his or her life in a unique way, even though small details can distinguish their past from others'.

This quote is for April 05, 2017.

Home Don't Have to Be

The road ain’t even marked. Home don’t have to be.

Daniel H. Wilson in “Robopocalypse”

If you have a very loving and supporting home then your heart will always know the way back. Going home should be as automatic as breathing.

This quote is for April 04, 2017.

Don't Need to Play the Lottery

I don't ask for a lot, no nothing more than I need. Because I love what I got, don't need to play the lottery. I just want to be strong at the end of the road. I don't want to hold on, I want the strength to let go.

Lee DeWyze in "Sweet Serendipity"

I think that for some, the best life is lived by learning to be truly happy with what you have and being able to let go of trying to control life.

This quote is for April 03, 2017.

History Made by Remarkable Things

History isn't made by remarkable people. It's made by unremarkable people doing remarkable things.

Chris from Making History "Pilot"

I think that the individuals who change history for the better are those who are unremarkable but who gather enough courage to step up to do the remarkable.

This quote is for April 02, 2017.

Only the One

A very important thing a family, you only get the one.

Mad Hatter from "Alice Through the Looking Glass"

This can be a blessing or a curse. On the one hand, the members of your family will always be a comfort and a constant for you. However, if you don't get along with your family or they are missing from your life, then you cannot replace them so easily. I chose to believe that family is a major blessing in your life.

Just a State Change

You know moments after you jump in that it'll be fine. It's the fear of the shock that holds you back. Ultimately, the only thing you're worried about is the transition from one state to another. And that can't hurt you because it's just a state change.

Harry from Black Mirror "White Christmas"

When you face change of any kind, the fear of the unknown can cause you to hesitate before jumping in. Usually, things work out in the end and you end up wondering why you were so nervous in the first place.

This quote is for March 31, 2017.

Rules of Decency

It didn't mean that in their weakness they didn't need to be treated with fairness and respect. I could dismiss them too because they have offended me, but there are rules of decency. Or if there aren’t, then there should be.

Orson Scott Card in "The Lost Gate" audiobook

I think it is a good practice to learn how to give respect to your enemies. I know this is very hard to do because you don't really feel like being nice to those people you like, but just because you don't like them does not mean that they should not be treated with fairness.

This quote is for March 30, 2017.

Tears in the Sun

Open road but it's still dark, build a fire from a spark. Feed the feeling in your heart. Don't conceal it then you'll start to find your way. All of your tears will dry faster in the sun.

Owl City in "Shine Your Way"

I think that this quote is saying that the best way to find your way in a dark situation is to grab on to the smallest hope or brightness because it really can make a difference.

This quote is March 29, 2017.

Change Starts with You

Try to make the world a better place. Look inside yourself and recognize that change starts with you. It starts with me. It starts with all of us.

Judy Hopps in "Zootopia"

To make the world a better place, an individual needs to ensure that the change is strongly rooted inside themselves. I believe that the success of a vision or mission depends on the passion of those who are behind it.

This quote is for March 28, 2017.

Consciousness as a Journey

Consciousness isn't a journey upward, but a journey inward. A maze. Every choice could bring you closer to the center or send you spiraling to the edges, to madness.

Arnold from Westworld "The Bicameral Mind"

I think that consciousness is just the knowledge of yourself; and like all knowledge, consciousness can help or hurt you. The knowledge about yourself can uplift you or it can send you on a dark path.
