brunette-in-black, that's me. I'm not goth or emo and those you who associate the color black with those labels I have one thing to say: "I am not a candy bar so I do not require a label." I'm 18 and you could call me mildly depressed, but what teenager's life is perfect? See if you can name one, I know I'm hard pressed to.

1."So wise so young, they say, do never live long". - (Act III, Scene I) King Richard III. Willam Shakespeare.
2."Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings". - (Act I, Scene II) Julius Caesar. William Shakespeare.
3. "Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear; Seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come". - (Act II, Scene II) Julius Caesar. William Shakespeare.
4. "Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble." - (Act IV, Scene I) Macbeth. William Shakespeare.
5. "Nothing will come of nothing." - (Act I, Scene I) King Lear. William Shakespeare.
6. "I will wear my heart upon my sleeve for daws to peck at". - (Act I, Scene I) Othello. William Shakespeare.
7. "Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them". - (Act II, Scene V) Twelfth Night. William Shakespeare.
8. "Love sought is good, but giv'n unsought is better" . - (Act III, Scene I) Twelfth Night. William Shakespeare.
9. Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, but which will bloom most constantly? - Emily Bronte.
10.Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. - Emily Bronte.
11. If all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger: I should not seem a part of it. - Emily Bronte.
12. I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past. - Virginia Woolf.
13. I want the concentration and the romance, and the worlds all glued together, fused, glowing: have no time to waste any more on prose. - Virginia Woolf.
14. If you insist upon fighting to protect me, or 'our' country, let it be understood soberly and rationally between us that you are fighting to gratify a sex instinct which I cannot share; to procure benefits where I have not shared and probably will not share. - Virginia Woolf.
15. My own brain is to me the most unaccountable of machinery - always buzzing, humming, soaring roaring diving, and then buried in mud. And why? What's this passion for? - Virginia Woolf.
16. Nothing induces me to read a novel except when I have to make money by writing about it. I detest them. - Virginia Woolf.
17. The beauty of the world, which is so soon to perish, has two edges, one of laughter, one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. - Virginia Woolf.
18. The history of men's opposition to women's emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself. - Virginia Woolf.
19. These are the soul's changes. I don't believe in ageing. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism. - Virginia Woolf.
20. This is an important book, the critic assumes, because it deals with war. This is an insignificant book because it deals with the feelings of women in a drawing-room. - Virginia Woolf.
21. We can best help you to prevent war not by repeating your words and following your methods but by finding new words and creating new methods. - Virginia Woolf.
22. Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within, as on the state of things without and around us. - Charlotte Bronte.
23. Conventionality is not morality. - Charlotte Bronte.
24. "You know that when I hate you, it is because I love you to a point of passion that unhinges my soul.” Julie de Lespinasse.
25. Where so many hours have been spent in convincing myself that I am right, is there not some reason to fear I may be wrong? - Jane Austen
26. One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other. - Jane Austen
27. Everybody likes to go their own way--to choose their own time and manner of devotion. - Jane Austen
28. Oh! Do not attack me with your watch. A watch is always too fast or too slow. I cannot be dictated to by a watch. - Jane Austen
29. For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn? - Jane Austen
30. Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life. - Jane Austen
31. How little of permanent happiness could belong to a couple who were only brought together because their passions were stronger than their virtue. - Jane Austen
32. I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library. - Jane Austen
33. Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously... Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us. - Jane Austen
34. I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them. - Jane Austen
