Have you ever felt a sudden, passing sensation of excitement, a shudder of emotion from an epic moment of a song, or a climax of a movie? That is what is called "frisson", a word rooted from the French word meaning "Goosebumps" or "Shiver". It has been linked to rises in dopamine levels.

Feel free to discuss frisson, and post links that give you some really great vibes. :)

The seniors in my high school are graduating this afternoon, I was really close with a few of them. The second quote really speaks to me. "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."

I just graduated from college and moved to a new city. This one really hit me: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” ― Oh, the Places You'll Go!

Most of these quotes have been bastardized by 14 year old girls on twitter and facebook. it's sad really.

Dr. Seuss never said #2 and #21.

Just so you know, in case you want to use them.

Aw, #21 is one of my fav ones too.

8 and 29 are redundant.

these are all very nice and cute quotes, but they mean nothing to me. Dr. Seuss would've been popular on the social network.
