I have always had a slight guilty pleasure….I can never resist a good quote. My current diary has quotes plastered all over it, as does my mirror etc. Yes i know-they are mostly corny and to be honest utter rubbish. But, that does not stop the urge and the fact that their are some impressive ones out there….such as:
“Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away”
“Dream like you’ll live forever, live like you’ll die today” (I think James Dean is responsible for this one!) “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.†... Gandhi’s pre-version
“Today’s news is tomorrows fish and chip wrappings”
“Fighting for peace is like fucking for virginity”
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.†.. Dr Seuss

I don’t get the reference to “quote’s”, nor to “breath’s” ...does something BELONG to the quote or to the breath? Adding an ’s to something usually denotes possession, not pluralization.
The word you’re looking for is “quotations.”
Collecting quotes is at the top of my list of passions!
i love a good quote especially if it fits the mood, situation, or convo! this is one of my favs "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” ~ Dr. Seuss
All you have to do is let go.
The challenge is hanging on.
Life is hanging on.

Quotes on depression...
I tell people it's like being dead. It feels like being a ghost, maybe. You float through your days feeling insubstantial, cut off from warmth, light and all feeling. Sometimes it feels like you're in a coffin buried alive. You're screaming inside your head, but no one can hear you.
"It was not really alarming at first, since the change was subtle, but I did notice that my surroundings took on a different tone at certain times: the shadows of nightfall seemed more somber, my mornings were less buoyant, walks in the woods became less zestful, and there was a moment during my working hours in the late afternoon when a kind of panic and anxiety overtook me..." - William Styron, Darkness Visible
"I have secluded myself from society; and yet I never meant any such thing. I have made a captive of myself and put me into a dungeon, and now I cannot find the key to let myself out."
- Nathaniel Hawthorne
"I was much further out than you thought and not waving but drowning."
- Stevie Smith
"When you're depressed, there's no calendar. There are no dates, there's no day, there's no night, there's no seconds, there's no minutes, there's nothing. You're just existing in this cold, murky, ever-heavy atmosphere, like they put you inside a vial of mercury." - Rod Steiger, On the Edge of Darkness
Anais Nin Quotes...
A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.
How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
People living deeply have no fear of death.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. - Maya Angelou
We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty. - Maya Angelou
