Hey everyone. Just little ol' me here to get everyone's brains running as I wander from poems to simple words. We all know our quotes and everything, but sometimes what we say can really confuse someone else. I'll show what I have, and if anyone can translate, feel free. Otherwise, I'll stick around for some time longer, but give their definitions much later... like in about 10-12 hours from now, hehe.

Or, you can add your own. As I hear several times from family members: "Thinking? I can see the smoke." Anyways, here we go.

I suppose every era needs its own Heroes. (Actually from a game called Fable)

Chaos with self-control is Power... but Power without self-control is Chaos.

Darkness is nothing to be afraid of. It's what casts that shadow that you should worry about.

We have the Power to make peace... with the Power to destroy.
(This one is my personal favorite, and I sometimes scare people with it.)

Being wierd is normal, but trying to be normal is just plain wierd.

If it makes sense, then why do we question it?

There -is- such a thing as too much light in truth.

...I'm pretty sure I just made up these and winged it, but I could be wrong. I might be missing one I know of, but it's getting late and getting harder to focus. Anyways, if you have your own, let's hear it, whether it's quoted or not. If it's more than one, mark which is your favorite!

"There-is-such a thing as too much light in truth"...

That means that nobody really likes the truth because the truth hurts.

I personally would take the truth over a lie anyday.

I'll define that one right now, since I probably gave the wrong idea for that one...

Too much light in truth. Yes, it's true that the truth hurts. Yes, I'll take a truth over a lie anyday.

But to elaborate, let's put it this way... Take a flashlight, go into a dark room, and then turn it on. Now shine it on any surface. What do you see?

And then there are those people who try to be the truth, who try to translate every single word being said. Those are the people who take that flashlight and point it right at their eyes. Do they see? Maybe, but more than likely are they blinding themselves to find what they're looking for.

In short: Take it, and learn when to stop diving in. You make less mistakes that way.

Hybrid...The day will never come when those kind of people will stop diving in and leave well enough alone. It is like they are addicted, they just will not stop.

Indeed, Rose. But one can always hope for that day, and try helping others not make a big lie out of it. For the record, I hope what I've said hasn't offended you, because I don't mean to.

Anywho... Now that I'm more in focus, I'll elaborate in the shortest way possible what I just said, starting from the top.

The best heroes around are not Spiderman or Mr. Incredible. While they are powerful, your best heroes are your friends.

Chaos is the definition of disorder. Likewise, having 'power' is trying to say that you have control.

You cast a shadow... shouldn't you be careful of what you possibly could do?

Conquerers in the past claimed land and enforced peace by destroying resistance. But true diplomats stop, or 'destroy' the want of fighting, preserving peace. Everything in life involves destroying something to make us feel at peace, whether physically or mentally, good or evil.
(So much for being short on that one.)

Having something unique about yourself is the reason to stand out from a crowd. If you suppress that talent, then what makes you different?

I'll quote someone when I was reading last night, and nearly freaked when I saw it: "When something is true, not so many words are necessary." Do I really need to say more?

...and it just occurred to me that the last one is the same thing as the 'making sense' comment, now that I can think straight. Yikes, was I really out of it when I made that one up? Anywho, that's my definitions of these.

And "it is what it is..." Can't believe I didn't think of it before, so for the insight, many thanks. Like I've heard on Monkey Island, but with a bit more humor: "A brick is a brick is a brick."
