- "Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive." ━ Howard Thurman
- "...These past months have been the best months of my life. We are from two different worlds and loving you made me so happy.

A love letter that was written 8 hours before his death.)
- “Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water. And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes you cannot even breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home, and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent, but nothing is infinite, not even loss. You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again.” — Finn Butler
- “Sometimes you need a reminder that negative comments about your body aren’t even really about your body, they’re about society and our society’s wrongheaded and impossibly narrow definition of a “good” body. Your body didn’t do anything wrong. What’s fucked up about your body is not your body at all, but that your body has to live in a society that thinks it has a right to say fucked up things about your body.” — Golda Poretsky
- “‘All of us are better when we’re loved.’” - Alistair MacLeod, from No Great Mischief
- “We are the generation of nostalgia. We grew up in the age of transition. From hand-written letters to electronic mails. From film to digital. We were fascinated by new things, neglecting the way we spend our afternoons. Cupcakes and tea. Play-Doh and Polly Pockets. Young and naive. Technology completely changed the way we waited and we grew up too fast. The simple things in life seems more meaningful now. We grew up in the age of transition and have become the generation of nostalgia.”
- “I think a lot of people compare their insides to other peoples outsides.” — Emma Stone
- “What you look like is just one part of who you are - but it’s not all you are.” — Sarra Manning, You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me
