"I could see him now. And I could see that he could not see me. It was really him, no hallucination this time. And I realized that my delusions were more flawed than I'd realized; they'd never done him justice. Edward stood, motionless as a statue, just a few feet from the mouth of the alley. His eyes were closed, the rings underneath them deep purple, his arms relaxed at his sides, his palms turned forward. His expression was very peaceful, like he was dreaming pleasant things. The marble skin of his chest was bare-there was a small pile of white fabric at his feet. The Light reflecting from the pavement of the square gleamed dimly from his skin.
I'd never seen anything more beautiful-even as I ran, gasping and screaming, I could appreciate that. And the last seven months meant nothing. And his words in the forest meant nothing. And it did not matter if he did not want me. I would never want anything but him, no matter how long I lived."
- New Moon, chapter 20, page 451.
Music
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
There is a certain irrationality in responding to injustice or harm with hostility. Our hatred has no physical effect on our enemies, it does not harm them. Rather it is we who suffer the ill consequences of such overwhelming bitterness. It eats us from within.
- The Dalai Lama.
"In identifying one's mental state as the prime factor in achieving happiness, of course that doesn't deny that our basic physical needs for food, clothing, and shelter must be met. But once these basic needs are met, the message is clear:we do not need more money, we do not need greater success or fame, we don't need the perfect body or even the perfect mate--right now, at this very moment, we have a mind, which is all the basic equipment we need to achieve complete happiness" - The Dalai Lama, Howard C. Cutler.
The purpose of life is to feel happiness, joy, satisfaction and peace. In order to achieve that, so much depends on our mental attitude rather than money, power or external things. - The Dalai Lama.
Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.
- Albert Einstein
About 2,000 pounds of grains must be supplied to livestock in order to produce enough meat and other livestock products to support a person for a year, whereas 400 pounds of grain eaten directly will support a person for a year. Thus, a given quantity of grain eaten directly will feed 5 times as many people as it will if it is eaten indirectly by humans in the form of livestock products....
-- M.E. Ensminger, PH.D
People think of animals as if they were vegetables, and that is not right. We have to change the way people think about animals. I encourage the Tibetan people and all people to move toward a vegetarian diet that doesn't cause suffering."
- The Dalai Lama

Madeleine Lorraine Frances Matthews-Hull.
I'd like to think I'm a very kind person, and I'd like to think that other people would think that too. I rarely think a bad thing about a person, I keep out of peoples way and I haven't been in a crabby pathetic tweeny girl fight since 2007.
I'm totally inlove with Twilight and I don't care what anyone else thinks, I would totally give my left leg to be bella Swan and if you wouldn't than you must be cool and individuaaaaaal. But really you're just gay :D
I'm pretty self concious and I don't have a whole lot of confidence, but I'm proud to be the person that I am, and have the mind and morals that I have. And if I am being overly self loathing, I always make sure that I never let it be visible to anyone.
When it comes to what I do like I'm a very simple person, but when it comes to what I don't like I'm very complex.
I'm very happy and fun, but I'm not a burst your ear drums kind of music, get drunk and act like a fool sort of person.
I choose not to drink(often) and to take care of my body at all times.
I'm a vegan and it's the best thing I've done for myself and my compassion for animals.
I don't like to make comparisons of myself to another, and I don't like people that do.
I believe that elegance, class, confidence, grace and manners are the most attractive qualities a person can have, but that's not to say that a goofy fun loving person can't have those things aswell as a sense of fun and humor.
I follow a mixture of both Buddhist and Christian beliefs, but I'm not a "Repent your sins, you said the S word" kind of believer, I don't church it up and I rarely ever remember to say Amen after I pray.
I don't like any form of transport that runs on petrol, i.e. cars, motorbikes, boats etc. Sure you've got to get from A to B but is it really necessary to treat a car like a child or a pet or even like a toy that you can play brooom brooom cars with.
I believe in being the best person you possibly can be, for your sake, not gods or anyone elses.
I have a very isolated kind of personality, I like alot of alone time, I don't know why, I've just always been that way, but it keeps me sane, comfortable and happy so it's ok.
I think that beauty or money fades in comparison to wisdom or intelligence.
And obviously I love my family and friends more than anything else that this world or any other world for that matter has to offer.... Apart from Edward Cullen of course.
My eyebrows are pretty much always in a different shape, and sometimes even a different shade of brown. Just thought I'd chuck that in. :)
Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet Tani all over again. Although she's as stubborn as unbendable steel, and as hilarious as a wall with no paint, I still love her cigarette ridden guts, even her disturbing sexual organs which are part male. Together, her and I are like un-identical twins that don't think the same at all.

I like your who I'd like to meet. You are a bit odd.. Considering I'm as hilarious as a wall with no paint.. That means that I'm not very funny.. Unless you're the type who would stand in front of an un-painted wall and giggle your little guts out, which i wouldn't put past you.. I'd like to meet you all over again! So I could go to another green light with you and get my mum to pick you up everyday to catch the bus with me haha and go to the gym and babysit little Bella and wag in toilets and draw stories of alien dudes from greenday having sex with me and giving me an half alien child. Even though you make me stay up until 2am in the morning to have to speak with you these days or half the time I miss you and then get to read your idea's of getting a big dog named Hurcule's or Emmett, but you can't decide. I just friggen love your vegan non-smoking ridden guts.. My un-identical twin who's sexual organ's are not part male, but all male.
