I'm a twenty-one-year old who is currently trying to save her failing university career and whose first language is not English.

Okay, so I love reading and think that the Harry Potter-series is the best thing ever happened to our world - "Hail Rowling!" - except, maybe, the invention of chocolate. Some of my other favourite books and series are: Pillars of the Earth, World Without End, Twilight, Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, His Dark Materials, books by Meg Cabot, Tintenwelt (German), Drachenreiter(German), and Die Brüder Löwenherz(German).

If you ever forgot your name when some one asks for it copy this into your profile (- and tell me about it in a PM - we can reminisce and have fun conversations together ;) ) !

If you are one of these people who wonder how it can be that even stories that exceed 50,000 words continue to have more followers than reviews when you yourself have already reviewed at least twice, copy this into your profile.

My favourite quotes from everywhere...

Truth, justice, honor...none of that's worth shit. What matters is people, and people aren't honest or just or honorable. They're petty and they're angry and they're afraid, and all anyone really wants, deep down, is to be wanted. And what's truth to that? (M. Adducci)

He who has a strong enough why to live for, can bear almost any how. (Friedrich Nietzsche)

I ask not for a lighter burden, but for broader shoulders. – Jewish Proverb

Practical politics consists in ignoring facts. (Henry Brooks Adams)

Blaise Pascal wrote, “I would have written you a shorter letter, but I did not have the time."

"Don't tell me the sky is the limit when there are Footprints on the moon…" (Anonymous)

Oderint, dum metuant. -- Let them hate, so long as they fear. (Accius)

"Everyone lives bound by their own knowledge and awareness. They define that as reality. But knowledge and awareness are vague, and perhaps better called illusions. Everyone lives in their own subjective interpretation, don't you think?" (Uchiha Itachi, Naruto)

"I am what I am. I would tell you what you want to know if I could, for you have been kind to me. But I am a cat, and no cat anywhere ever gave anyone a straight answer." (Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn)

"Hey, guys, sorry I'm late; I'm afraid I got lost on the path of life." (Hatake Kakashi, Naruto)

Alice came to a fork in the road. 'Which road do I take?' she asked.
'Where do you want to go?' responded the Cheshire Cat.
'I don't know,' Alice answered.
'Then,' said the Cat, 'it doesn't matter.'
(Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland)

"No." he [Harry] said thoughtfully. "I'd have to say Fate is a big guy in leather on a Harley fresh out of prison and he wants me as his bitch." - "Oh, what a pleasant thought." Lucius quipped. "Then we can send Fate back to prison for pedophilia and make our own destiny." (Mistress Nika, fanfiction, Curse of Fate - my absolute favourite - best fanfic ever written, even though not entirely finished.) /s/2703901/1/Curse-of-Fate

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

SHAKESPEARE

"if you prick us doe we not bleede? if you tickle us doe we not laugh? if you poison us doe we not die? and if you wrong us shall we not revenge?" - Thou call'dst me a dog before thou hadst a cause, but, since I am a dog, beware my fangs. The Merchant of Venice

Albert Einstein

"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."

"In order to form an immaculate member of a flock of sheep one must, above all, be a sheep."

“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.
And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams,
because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with God
and with eternity.” (The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho)

A girl had this on her profile, and I just found it so awesome that I had to have it here, too. I am a completely hetero female, as I discovered when making out with two different girls, which was just weird, but I have gay & bisexual friends and family members. I think it's an important issue, and I just love how the following statements are supportive and still light and funny:

Ten Reasons Why Gay Marriages Are Wrong (A Little Humor)
1. Being gay is not natural. And as you know Americans have always rejected unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.
2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.
3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because, as you know, a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.
4. Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.
5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed. The sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.
6. Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, menopausal women, women who have a medical condition which makes it harmful to be pregnant, women who have had a tubal ligation, men who have had a vasectomy, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.
7. Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.
8. Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
9. Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.
10. Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Other Interesting and Nice Quotes:

1) The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision. (Lynn Lavner)

2) My lesbianism is an act of Christian charity. All those women out there praying for a man, and I'm giving them my share. (Rita Mae Brown)

3) Who would give a law to lovers? Love is unto itself a higher law. (Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy, A.D. 524)

4) If homosexuality is a disease, let's all call in queer to work: "Hello. Can't work today, still queer." (Robin Tyler)

5) No government has the right to tell its citizens when or whom to love. The only queer people are those who don't love anybody. (Rita Mae Brown, speech, 28 August 1982)

6) "You could move." Abigail Van Buren, "Dear Abby," in response to a reader who complained that a gay couple was moving in across the street and wanted to know what he could do to improve the quality of the neighbourhood

7) There's this illusion that homosexuals have sex and heterosexuals fall in love. That's completely untrue. Everybody wants to be loved. (Boy George)

8) In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation. (Simone de Beauvoir)

9) Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night. (Woody Allen)

10) The important thing is not the object of love, but the emotion itself. (Gore Vidal)

11) 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)

12) Jesus had two dads and he turned out fine. - (Protestors)
