[I] I've paid my dues
Time after time,
I've done my sentence,
But commited no crime,
And bad mistakes,
I've made a few,
I've had my share of sand
kicked in my face,
But I've come through,

And we mean to go on and on and on and on,

We are the champions - my friends
And 'll keep on fighting,
Till the end,
We are the champions.
We are the champions,
No time for losers,
'Cause we are the champions of the World,
I've taken my bows,
And my curtain calls,
You brought me fame and fortine
And everything that goes with it,
I thank you all,
But it's been no bed of roses,
No pleasure cruise,
I consider it a challenge before the whole human reace,
And I ain't gonna lose,
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting,
Till the end,
We are the chamions
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
No time for losers,
'Cause we are the champions...

OF THE WORLD!

These quotes are about some poor suckers who made the biggest mistake of their lives by saying these words.
"This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us." -- Western Union internal memo, 1876.

"We don't like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out." -- Decca Recording Co. rejecting the Beatles, 1962.

"So we went to Atari and said, 'Hey, we've got this amazing thing, even built with some of your parts, and what do you think about funding us? Or we'll give it to you. We just want to do it. Pay our salary, we'll come work for you.' And they said, 'No.' So then we went to Hewlett-Packard, and they said, 'Hey, we don't need you. You haven't got through college yet.'" -- Apple Computer Inc. founder Steve Jobs on attempts to get Atari and H-P interested in his and Steve Wozniak's personal computer.

"Drill for oil? You mean drill into the ground to try and find oil? You're crazy." -- Drillers whom Edwin L. Drake tried to enlist in his project to drill for oil in 1859.

okay found it:
"why cant you see?
Just let me be
myself!
You don't understand
I can't stop now
I'll forget how
to be
real

I lived my life
pretendin to be strong
but underneath the shell
impossible to tell
i was lost and alone and scared forever!

why cant you see?
Just let me be
myself!
You don't understand
I can't stop now
I'll forget how
to be
real

I found my way out
it was the hardest thing
i've ever done
I scream and shout
because that's me
and i cannot
deny it
anymore"

Ok,I didn't make it, but I like it so here's a poem from 'Harry Potter.'

"Enter, stranger, but take heed,
Of what awaits at greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in thier turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors,
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware,
Of finding more than treasure there."

"Many that live deserve death,
Many that die deserve life"
- Lord of the Rings

Well here's one from Lord of the Rings....I love this one....
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all who wander are lost,
TThe old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost,
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring,
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king"

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." -Bilbo Baggins (The Fellowship of the Ring: J.R.R. Tolkien)
"Not all who wander are lost"- J.R.R. Tolkien
"Thanks, you don't look so hot yourself." - (Yogi Berra)after being told he looked cool

hey look at me
think back and talk to me
did I grow up according to plan??
Do you think I'm wasting my time
doing things I want to do??
Cuz it hurts when u dissaprove all along
And now I try hard to make it
I'm never gonna be good enough for u
I can't pretend that I'm all right
And you can't change me

Because we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be
Perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be
Perfect

Nothing's going to change
the things you said
Nothing's going to make this
right again
please don't turn your back
I can't belive it's this hard
just to talk to you
because you don't understand

Because we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be
Perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be
Perfect

"She leaped off the table and tore into the living room. There was a brief sound of scrabbling, and then from the living room, Kit said, "Uh, Annie, your cat just went up the chimney..."

I also like this one from 'Lord of the Rings.'

'One ring to rule them all,
one ring to find them,
one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.'

"Many that live deserve death,
Many that die deserve life"
--Lord of the Rings

[Kathy Li]

Ok. Even though it's all Victorian-sappy, here's one of my favorites. Matthew Arnold's "Self-Dependence":

Weary of myself, and sick of asking
What I am, and what I ought to be,
At this vessel's prow I stand, which bears me
Forwards, forwards, o'er the starlit sea.

And a look of passionate desire
O'er the sea and to the stars I send:
"Ye who from my childhood up have calm'd me,
Calm me, ah, compose me to the end!

"Ah, once more," I cried, "ye stars, ye waters,
On my heart your mighty charm renew;
Still, still let me, as I gaze upon you,
Feel my soul becoming vast like you!"

From the intense, clear, star-sown vault of heaven,
Over the lit sea's unquiet way,
In the rustling night-air came the answer:
"Wouldst thou be as these are? Live as they.

"Unaffrighted by the silence round them,
Undistracted by the sights they see,
These demand not that the things without them
Yield them love, amusement, sympathy.

"And with joy the stars perform their shining,
And the sea its long moon-silver'd roll;
For self-poised they live, nor pine with noting
All the fever of some differing soul.

"Bounded by themselves, and unregardful
In what state God's other works may be,
In their own tasks all their powers pouring,
These attain the mighty life you see."

O air-born voice! long since, severely clear,
A cry like thine in mine own heart I hear:
"Resolve to be thyself; and know that he,
Who finds himself, loses his misery!"
