So he left the path for a shortcut across a field.
And the moon went with him.
The shortcut led right to where Harold thought a forest ought to be."

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

~R. Frost

“Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.”

~Rumi

I also like the quote in my signature

The quote is really cool (almost makes me want to write a story with this as the prompt), but who is Rumi? Genuinely curious, cause I'd like to read about the author of the quote.

Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.

Won't you help me, Mr. Jesus,
Won't you tell me if you can,
When you see this world we live in,
Do we still believe in men?

Here in the garden - we know not what we do. Live to lay in pastures of fear. Left to die - guilty of nothing. If we were promised heaven, then why are we in hell?

“Harry Potter is about confronting fears,
finding inner strength and doing what is right
in the face of adversity.
Twilight is about how important it is
to have a boyfriend.”

Frequently attributed to Stephen King,
this is a quote from Andrew Futral who
was quoting Robin M. Browne, at the time.
