Recently I have been hearing a lot of quotes that really apply to life well. I think they are very true and the way they are said are amazing. So here they are, I will explain why I like below.
From “The Glass Menagerie”
“Man is by instinct a lover, a hunter, a fighter, and none of those instincts are given much play at the warehouse.”
Tom speaking to Amanda, his mother
“You are the only young man I know of who ignores the fact that the future
becomes the present, the present the past, and the past turns into everlasting regret if you don’t plan for it!”
Amanda speaking to Tom, her son.
“All pretty girls are a trap, a pretty trap, and men expect them to be.”
Amanda speaking to Laura, her daughter.
From a website with jokes
“The Patricia Principal: The more you’ve been trying to attract the attention of a particular man, the more likely it is that you’ll run into him when you’re sweaty, short of sleep, without makeup, wearing house-painting clothes, with your hair in a bandana.”
From our science text book
“By Analogy, consider yourself. You are who you are, but your behavior changes depending upon whom you are with.”
I get multiple things from these, mainly that they are true and hit hard. Such as the first. It is so true about men. In today’s society a man is not allowed to be a man. He is forced to go work in an office, or warehouse, and his heart yearns to do more. He wants to be a man, he wants to climb mountains, fight dragons, save princesses, but he can’t. Men are also told to stuff their feelings, no crying, no whining, and in general be nice. Don’t show anything. Women want men to be “nice guys” but they want to be real men, adventurous, dangerous, and exciting.
The second quote is true also. Don’t procrastinate. Plan for you future, or it will plan for you. You can’t let life pass you by, you need a vision.
The 3rd one is a part of life that I wish wasn’t so true. Not every single pretty girl is a trap, but most of them are. Almost all of them wear clothes, act and talk like they are just there to lure a man in. It is quite sad really. The media has a lot to do with it, woman dress like objects, and want to be treated like them, or so it seems because of the way they act.
The 4th quote is not necessarily true, but it might feel like it. The problem is that this is really you. When you aren’t dressed up and nice looking, that is the real you. When a person can love you at 7am and your sleepy, with messy hair, pajamas and bad breath, that is real love.
The last quote, I was surprised to read in my science textbook. It is the perfect analogy for acids and bases. It is very true with humans. I am who I am, but if I’m hanging with my parents compared to my friends I will act different.

I particularly notice the last one. I remember reading it today, but don’t remember reading the last part. I probably wasn’t paying attention in reading that…but I find that very interesting. Because it is so true, and shouldn’t be that much. I mean to an extent one should be more respectful around elderly people versus hanging with close friends or watching little kids, but still…

Yes I know. That’s why I like these quotes, they make you think, and agree.

I like thease. especally the one about time. i have a fastinations w time and it is true to an extent. You will never reach tomarrow because tomarrow becomes today and today fades into yesterday… also the one bout 7:00 am that wors w/ friends too. Few of my friends have seen me that early and those people know.. im a mess.. but a happy mess… usually… i just really liked that well i have ot go but i might write more l8er…. but really it is good to think over the beauty one for girls because make sure that u r not being the trap. You might not mean to be but still your guys friends really are different from youre girl friends. Depending on your relationship. Really think of others.
nd kt… AHAHAHAHAHA
SOOO TRUE!!!! im w/ ya sista isent that always the way!

Wow. Your science book seems interesting. Here’s a quote from my science book, “Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide consisting of three main parts: adenine, a nitrogen-containing organic base; ribose, a five-carbon sugar; and three phosphate groups, identifiable as phosphorus atoms surrounded by oxygen atoms (Fig. 6-5).” Aerobic respiration, Redox Reactions, and Glycolysis is so exciting (that was me being sarcastic).
