My Collections of Quotations Organized by Topic

By Simran Khurana, About.com Guide to Quotations

Reading quotations is highly addictive. This is especially true when the quotes are in tune with your current mood or situation. If you would like to enjoy reading popular quotations, here are some of my collections, organized by topic.

  1. Movies
  2. Friendship
  3. Love
  4. Heartbreak & Grief

Movies

Year after year, Hollywood churns out fantasies of adventure, love, mystery, and science fiction. Some movies bite the dust before they can make their mark. Others -- and there are usually a handful every year -- go on to make big bucks at the box office. And then there is the rare movie that attains immortality. These immortal movies achieve iconic status and become cultural milestones. Does life imitate art or does art imitate life? When you read quotes from movies like Star Wars, Borat, and Spiderman 3, you will realize that movies and life are actually two sides of the same coin.

Friendship

Friendship is said to be the elixir of life, a balm for the broken soul, and a bond that unites individuals. Good friends are quite common. But a true friend is a rare gem. Are you capable of being a worthy friend? Do you have the qualities of a good friend? Gain insight into these questions by reading quotes about friendship. You could spend a lifetime looking for an ideal friend. Or you could choose to be a pillar of strength for a friend, and in the bargain, make a true friend.

Love

Jimi Hendrix said, "When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace." Love is a powerful emotion that can build or destroy civilizations. It can sweep rational thought out of our mind. Love, like other emotions, changes over time. "First love" is a heady mix of passion and attraction. "Young love" is all about mutual admiration and friendship. As the years go by, love develops into an emotional bond and provides a sense of security. As lovers grow old, love matures into respect and interdependence. When you read passionate love quotes, you are reminded of all the people who care about you.

Heartbreak & Grief

Whose loss is greater? Is the death of a fetus easier to endure than the death of an older child? Is the grief of losing a limb greater than the grief of losing a life? There is no such thing as greater or lesser grief. One person's sadness is as great as another's. Grief makes us lose sight of reason. Sorrow contained within the heart is like a time bomb waiting to explode. If you are grieving, express yourself, and allow the wound to heal. Read heartbreak quotes and sad quotes to release the sorrows locked within. This is the only way to heal a broken spirit.
