7 Alan Rickman Quotes That Will Make Your Heart Hurt
Website: http://hpsupporters.com/

On Jan. 14, 2016, the world lost another awe-inspiring artist, actor and intellect. Alan Rickman, widely known and adored for his role in the "Harry Potter" franchise as well as his performances in "Die Hard," "Sense and Sensibility," and as a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, passed away from cancer. Similar to the millions of "Harry Potter" fans around the globe, I treasured Rickman's portrayal of Professor Snape, as his wit, innate talent and true commitment to the character never ceased to captivate me. The following are seven thought-provoking and awe-inspiriting quotes by the man whose dedication to and knack for exceptional acting will be remembered, always.

1. "Actors are agents of change. A film, a piece of theater, a piece of music or a book can make a difference. It can change the world."

2. "On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma and Rupert from 10 years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes."


3. "I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure."


4. "I think there should be laughs in everything. Sometimes, it's a slammed door, a pie in the face or just a recognition of our frailties."


5. "If people want to know who I am, it is all in the work."


6. "I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously."


7. "It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo."

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
