Tupac: True to Life

So my roommate came home the other day talking about this Tupac quote that had really hit home for her. I was on my laptop at the time, and immediately googled Tupac quotes for two reasons- a) she wanted to know the exact quote and b) looking up Tupac quotes is a hilarious afternoon activity. Tupac does use some colorful language here and there, but I actually appreciated some of his insight.

The quote that started it all:


“You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened... or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the __ on.” 
― Tupac Shakur

My discovered favorites:

“There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see
that's gon' make it hard to smile in the future.
But through whatever you see,
through all the rain and the pain,
you gotta keep your sense of humor.
You gotta be able to smile through all this bull__.Remember that.” 
― Tupac Shakur

“Reality is wrong. Dreams are for the real.” 
― Tupac Shakur

“I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me.”

*Just like I didn't choose the cougar life, the cougar life chose me... wait...

*Haha, preach it.

“There should be a class on sex
education, a real sex-education class.
There should be a class on police brutality. There should be a class on apartheid. There should be a class
on why people are hungry. But there are not. There are classes on gym. Physical education. Let's learn volleyball.” 
― Tupac Shakur, Resurrection, 1971-1996

Some are funny, some are pretty legit. Thanks Tupac!
