While I was gone all the cool kids were doing the quote meme. Go here and choose 5 (hah!) quotes that you like, that speak to you, that make you smile, whatever.

Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental or spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest.
John Stuart Mill (1806 - 1873), On Liberty, 1859

To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
e e cummings (1894 - 1962)

A room without books is like a body without a soul.
Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC), (Attributed)

Woe be to him that reads but one book.
George Herbert (1593 - 1633)

Everybody likes to go their own way--to choose their own time and manner of devotion.
Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Mansfield Park

I do not want people to be agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them.

Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel.
Matt Groening, The Simpsons

I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.
George Eliot
