- "if ever there is a tomorrow when we’re not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we’re apart, I’ll always be with you." - Winnie the Pooh
- “So she had to satisfy herself with the idea of love — loving the loving of things whose existence she didn’t care at all about. Love itself became the object of her love. She loved herself in love, she loved loving love, as love loves loving, and was able, in that way, to reconcile herself with a world that fell so short of what she would have hoped for. It was not the world that was the great and saving lie, but her willingness to make it beautiful and fair, to live a once-removed life, in a world once-removed from the one in which everyone else seemed to exist.” - Everything is Illuminated, Jonathan Safran Foer
- “Well, we have a whole new year ahead of us. And wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could all be a little more gentle with each other, and a little more loving, have a little more empathy, and maybe - next year at this time - we’d like each other a little more.” - Judy Garland
- “We live in this culture where everything is supposed to be so hip and so cool, and it’s not cool to love, and it’s not cool to take care of each other, and it’s not cool to stand up for ourselves. But you know what? Fuck all of that. I believe in love, and I believe that the only way that we are going to survive this fucking craziness that’s going on in our world today is if we just learn to look at love, turn our heads the other way from all the bullshit, and fucking love.” - andrew mcmahon
- "Without pain, without sacrifice, we would have nothing." - Fight Club
- "Music is like a drug; when you hear it, you have a vision. And that vision can change over time or remain the same. You know, that first time you’re in love and you hear a love song and every time you think about it you have that vision of your special someone. And then two years later, after you broke up, you’re at the bar. And you hear that song and you go, 'Son of a bitch... I’ll have a Jaeger." - Lewis Black
- "Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them." - Antoine de Saint Exupery, Le Petit Prince
- "I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence. I wanted excitement and danger and the chance to sacrifice myself for my love. I felt in myself a superabundance of energy which found no outlet in our quiet life." - Tolstoy
- "Man, when you lose your laugh you lose your footing." - Ken Kesey
- "Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify." - Thoreau
- "Be regular and orderly in your life so that you may be violent and original in your work." - Gustave Flaubert
- "Do you remember when the only thing that mattered was taking time for the things you love? But now you've got to humor all these fools." - Gabe Saporta
- "The sea's only gifts are harsh blows, and occasionally the chance to feel strong. Now I don't know much about the sea, but I do know that that's the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head." - Into the Wild (movie)
- "I'm just a fucked up girl looking for my own piece of mind" - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
- "I'm not frightened. I'm not frightened of anything. The more I suffer, the more I love. Danger will only increase my love. It will sharpen it, forgive its vice. I will be the only angel you need. You will leave life even more beautiful than you entered it. Heaven will take you back and look at you and say: Only one thing can make a soul complete and that thing is love. " - The Reader (movie)
- "Keep your heart free from hate, your mind free from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Fill your life with love. Scatter sunshine. Forget self, think of others. Do as you would be done by. It’s the way to happiness. Try this for a week and you will be surprised." - H.C. Mattern
- "You aren’t going to be his first, last or his only. He’s loved before, he will again. But if he loves you now, what else matters? He’s not perfect. You aren’t either. The two of you will never be perfect but if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and admits to being human and making mistakes, hold on to him and give him the most you can. He is not going to quote poetry, he’s not going to be thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, don’t expect more then he can give. Try not to over-analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad and miss him when he’s not there."
- "The first time I saw you, my heart fell. The second time I saw you, my heart fell. The third time, fourth time, fifth time, and every time since, my heart has fallen. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Your hair, your eyes, your lips, your body that you haven't grown into, the way you walk, smile, laugh, the way your cheeks drop when you're mad or upset, the way you drag your feet when you're tired. Every single thing about you if beautiful. When I see you, the world stops. It stops and all that exists for me is you and my eyes staring at you. There's nothing else. No noise, no other people, no thoughts or worries, no yesterday, no tomorrow. The world just stops, and it is a beautiful place, and there is only you. Just you, and my eyes staring at you. When you're gone, the world starts again, and I don't like it as much. I can live in it, but I don't like it. I just walk around in it and wait to see you again and wait for it to stop again. I love when it stops. It's the best thing I've ever known or ever felt, the best thing, and that, beautiful girl, is why I stare at you." - A Million Little Pieces
- "don't waste your time asking why such an amazing thing could happen to you, just let it happen. don't doubt that you could be loved, just let yourself be loved. if you don't believe you're worthy of anyone's time, then you won't be. take yourself seriously and others will too. 'why' is such a wasteful question. why? because that's the way it's supposed to be. that's the only answer you can have. accept it."
- Give all to Love, obey thy heart - Ralph Waldo Emerson
- "I think we do a bad thing here. People should be able to say how they feel, how they really feel, without some strangers putting words in their mouths. The truth. A card is a nice thought but it shouldn’t do the dirty work for you. You love someone, tell them yourself, in your own words. Maybe it’s not love at all. Maybe there’s no such thing as love." -Tom, 500 Days of Summer
- "You do what you love, and fuck the rest" - Dwayne, Little Miss Sunshine
- "Music is what's gunna save the world, if anything will, and redeem everyone. Therefore, it's always something worth singing about" - Max Bemis
- "You don't have to push or pull or fight or win, the struggle is illusory. Sometimes or rather, all times, you just have to be." - Andrew McMahon
- "But planes land and so do I, and suns rise, melting away the ground's cool protection. I am finally free, if only for this moment. And should that be the case, then know that I am throwing a parade in first class as I speak. Art has again saved my life, my love and me. What next? Who really cares? Certainly a toast will be in order. Make mine a double." - still Andrew McMahon
