I am often accused of being childish. I prefer to interpret that as child-like. I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things. I tend to exaggerate and fantasize and embellish. I still listen to instinctual urges. I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind. I never water my garden without soaking myself. It has been after such times of joy that I have achieved my gre...

"I might repeat to myself, slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound; if I can remember any of the damn things." -Dorothy Parker

  • In the end it's okay, if it's not okay then it's not the end.
  • Someday someone will walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else.
  • Anyone who thinks this sunshine is pure happiness, has never danced in the rain.
  • Every once in a while, people step up. They rise above themselves. Sometimes, they fall short. Life is funny sometimes it can push really hard, but if you look close enough, you find hope in the words of children, in the bars of a song, in the eyes of someone you love..and if you’re lucky, and I mean if you’re the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love, decides to love you back.
  • When there is something you want:Fight for it. Don’t give up no matter how hopeless it seems, even when you’ve lost hope, because years from now your gonna look back and wish you gave it one more shot. BECAUSE THE BEST THINGS DONT COME EASY.
  • Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination. ~Robert Fulghum
  • I am often accused of being childish. I prefer to interpret that as child-like. I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things. I tend to exaggerate and fantasize and embellish. I still listen to instinctual urges. I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind. I never water my garden without soaking myself. It has been after such times of joy that I have achieved my greatest creativity and produced my best work. ~Leo F. Buscaglia, Bus 9 to Paradise
  • As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't suppose to let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You will break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old love did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt. Because every sixty seconds you spent upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
  • When all is said and done, you are part of me. That's the way it was meant to be. People are brought together for a reason, everything happens for a reason. I believe the reason that you and me were brought together was because we complete one another. We fill-in each other's missing spots with love. And if someday God decides to tear us apart, I trust that there is a reason. Cause if there is a reason for love, there is a reason for life beyond it
  • "Everything in life is temporary because everything changes. That's why it takes great courage to love...knowing it might end anytime." If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.
  • The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
  • "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about dancing in the rain."
  • I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happiest girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles. -Audrey Hepburn
  • Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death.”
  • What is SEXY? Sexy is standing in the rain as you push someone against the hood of your car tearing their shirt as you kiss them with the intent to never stop. What is CUTE? Cute is young and inexperienced. Cute is holding hands and kissing at the red lights. What is PASSION? Passion is knowing what you want and stopping at nothing until you get it. Passion is putting your heart into what you do. What is BEAUTIFUL? Beautiful is all about the inside of a person. Beauty can only be found in the heart. What is LOVE? Love is the amazing balance of all these things. In your heart, body, and soul.
  • Don't ever think that you are nothing, because somewhere along the line, there is going to be someone who things you're everything.
  • When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to someone who leaves you. & it doesn't mean they are bad people, it just means that their part in your story is over.
  • In love, never put yourself in the situation where you are not sure where you stand in someone's life. Never expect, never assume. So that if they choose to drop you, you have enough strength to move on.
  • You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.
  • I'm not waiting for the one who makes me take a second look, but for the one who makes me never want to look away in the first place.
  • He looked at me, with the same look in his eyes as day one. And I knew, right then, I could never let him look at anyone else that way again.
  • this life is what you make it. no matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. but the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. girls will be your friends – they'll act like it anyway. but just remember, some come, some go. the ones that stay with you through everything – they're your true best friends. don't let go of them. also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. as for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. and babe, i hate to say it, most of them – actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. you'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? so keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.
  • I guess I'm learning, little by little, that we decide what our lives are going to be. Things happen to us, but it's our reactions that mattter.
  • It was like she was only there when it was convenient for him; like she was the gas station no one ever visited unless their tank was coming up on empty Yeah, there were days when she hated him & there were days when she was head over heals too. But none of those days mattered, because she could never have him no matter how hard she fell.
  • I love those kind of nights that turn out unexpectedly good, great, and sometimes just all out amazing just because you didn’t really expect anything to happen at all. If only we could live just like that — with no expectations in mind. It’s possible we’d be much happier, with more memorable moments that would last us a lifetime.
  • In the end, it's still best to wait for the one we want rather than settle for what's available. It's still best to wait for the one you love rather than to settle for the one who's around. It's still best to wait for the right person,because life's too short to waste on the wrong one.
  • It may seem like the hardest thing to do, but you have to forget about the person who forgot about you.
  • "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
