Oh so clever quote collage

Well I just added this to my about me on facebook...it's a progression of quotes that have a message. The message is applicable to my own life and my outlook on it right now. It's harder for me to live out though...

"But when I say let’s keep in touch, I really mean I wish that you’d grow up. This is the first song for your mix tape, and it’s short just like your temper, somewhat golden like the afternoons we used to spend before you got too cool."

-Brand New

"Should we try this before we give up and move on, and pretend to restore what we have and hold on? At times like this, it’s obvious."

-blink-182

"Is this it or could we still compliment each other like colors in harmony that make each other look brighter like we did in the old days?"

-PlayRadioPlay!

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, we must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature."

-American History X



The clear conclusion is found in the American History X quote, at the end of the film. This comes after the line "Hate is baggage." Hate is indeed baggage, and it's hardly my place to carry it. There's only one quote that could summarize this any more effectively...

"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

-Romans 12:19 (KJV)
