"Living in the future is anxiety, living in the past in depression, it's called the present cause it's a gift and a reason to be happy."

[silverberry]

We must risk delight. We can do without pleasure, but not delight. Not enjoyment. We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world.

- from 'A Brief for the Defense' by Jack Gilbert

Cut a chrysalis open, and you will find a rotting caterpillar. What you will never find is that mythical creature, half caterpillar, half butterfly, a fit emblem of the human soul, for those whose cast of mind leads them to seek such emblems. No, the process of transformation consists almost entirely of decay.

- Pat Barker, Regeneration

Even if we forget the faces of our friends, we will never forget the bonds that were carved into our souls. -Yuzuru Otonashi. Angel Beats

If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college.

And one more:

My name is Yoshikage Kira. I’m 33 years old. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don’t smoke, but I occasionally drink. I’m in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning.

I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I’m trying to explain that I’m a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn’t lose to anyone.

I thought everyone there was named Jo?

That's the rule for the main character. The villains and other characters are free game lol

Oh icy

Actually I forgot about Dio, should've realized with him

[MonkeyGirl18]

Though, they really stretch that sometime. Josuke Higashikata from part 4 is that part's Jojo, but I still don't understand where the second jo comes from lol.

"This is the only quote worth quoting."

[npixelz]

You can quote me on that

[silverberry]

Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.

- Vincent Van Gogh

[Gingerale]

I agree, hold on to hope!

sooner or later
love comes inside you, gets behind you
takes you under it's wing
is it some kind of function?
a reconstruction of what youve always been?
time cant hurt you
i cant be bothered to get you alone in this world
you can do it yourself, but make your ends known to your means and your lovers

the posies - love comes
