I always randomly jot down lines from songs, movies, and books as I go through my day. Here’s a few that I feel like sharing.
“My life could be so much easier, and the people around me much more at ease, if I just accepted things as they were as opposed to always trying to change them. But then what good would I be? What good will they be?”-Phella
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”-Maya Angelou
“When a great team loses through complacency, it will constantly search for new and more intricate explanations to explain away defeat”-Pat Riley
“You’re all welcome, as long as you felt him, I was gonna get mine if you know where the hell I’m from”-Jay-Z
“From now on I want you to put an equal amount of blueberries in each muffin”-Sam Rothstein
“You got an all out prize fight. You wait till the fight’s over and whoever’s left standing, that’s how you know who won”-Forgot where I got this from
“The worst thing about giving 100% to everything is the feeling you get when it doesn’t quite work the way you intended. However, I’m almost certain it feels worse to live a life where you only give 30%”-Phella
maya angelou and benjamin button – true inspiration right there
Phella,
As always, your posts seem to provide a great deal of inspiration when the going gets tough. I’m really feeing that Benjamin Button quote, in particular, the line: “it’s never too late….to be whoever you want to be.” Reminds me of an almost identical line Kanye spit on “I Wonder.”
Jay I’m guessing the Kanye line you refer to is “You can still be who you wish you is, it aint happen yet and that’s what intuition is”
Lol I can picture you sitting in the theatre ‘Slow down, Benjamin, I’m tryna type this!!’
haha j/k but dope post tho. Surprisingly, I don;’t know where that Jay quote is from…enlighten please
The Hov line is from “You’re All Welcome”..the joint with Swizzy and Mary J Blige from last summer
That Sam Rothstein quote is the best. Wait did this comment box just light up when I moused over? You’re site make-over is ill…I digress, the Rothstein quote says so much in so little. I write so many random and inspirational things in my bb notes, glad i’m not the only one.
Haha yes ma’am..we coming up in the world. And yea my bb notepad is filled with all kinds of stuff
You should have a weekly section ; ‘My BB Notepad’ … and have random guests or ppl you know just send stuff in
Aww! I’m constantly jotting down quotes from movies, people, and memory in my “Treo”. You should see my electronic memo pad! This just inspired me to post some of them, I usually just morph them into blogs, but the simple quotes might work too.
