- True love comes from more than just the heart.
- There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed. -Ernest Hemindway
- There's a story behind every person. There's a reason why they're the way they are. They aren't just like that because they want to. Something in the past created them, and sometimes it's impossible to fix them.

- “Books are for people who wish they were somewhere else. -Mark Twain
- Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. And, the atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. It really is the most poetic thing I know about physics: You are all stardust. You couldn't be here if stars hadn't exploded, because the elements - the carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, iron, all the things that matter for evolution and for life - weren't created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars, and the only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So, forget God. The stars died so that could be here today.
- We cannot direct the winds, but we can adjust our sails.

- Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate, or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. -Henry Miller
- The human soul is not a rubber ball. It's vulnerable, impermanent, but stronger than you know. And more valuable than you can imagine. -Death
- It is better to give love. Hatred is a low and degrading motion and is so poisonous that no man is strong enough to use it safely. The hatred we think we are directing against some person or thing or system has a devilish way of turning back upon us. When we seek revenge we administer slow poison to ourselves. When we administer affection it is astonishing what magical results we obtain. -Thomas Dreier
- Why do we miss a person? It's either because we realize that we never treasured the moments when they were always there and it left us wishing we could turn back time again. Or we were too happy with them, we enjoyed every single moment, that we became so used to the idea of having them around.

- Love comes slyly, like a thief.
- There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go.
- Sometimes someone says something really small and it just fits right into this empty place in your heart.
- How do you draw the soul?
- I'm crying because I'm tired of using my words. No one pays attention to what I have to say. Nobody cares. I'm emotionally and physically drained with trying. Here, I give up.

- If his grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.
- I think everybody should be told they are beautiful until they believe it.
- We are young, we run free, stay up late, we don't sleep. Got our friends, got the night, we'll be alright.
- When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.
- Do not fall into the trap of being good.
- The city may be full of people, but not the kind I'm looking for.
- I know I am ugly but I glow at night.
- The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more. That plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That's what I'd hoped to give to you forever.
- The human body essentially recreates itself every six months. Nearly every cell of hair and skin and bone dies and another is directed to its former place. You are not who you were last November.
- The beauty of it all is that you create your own beauty out of it all.
- If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live. -Lin Yutang
- I feel like I need everyone more than they need me.
- Don't be a woman that needs a man, be a woman a man needs.
- When life is sweet, say thank you and celebrate. And when life is bitter, say thank you and grow. -Shauna Niequist
- People were created to be loved, things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved, and people are being used.
- Music is what I always turn to when I'm feeling a certain way. It's my reason for everything.
- There is no force on earth more powerful than the will to live.
- Do you love me because I'm beautiful or am I beautiful because you love me?
- The function of music is to release us from the tyranny of conscious thought.
- Sometimes, I look outside and I think that a lot of other people have seen this snow before. Just like I think that a lot of other people have read those books before. And listened to those songs. I wonder how they feel tonight. -Stephen Chbosky

- You know, in 900 years of time and space, I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important. -The Doctor
- Most people fail at whatever they attempt because of an undecided heart. Should I? Should I not? Go forward? Go back? Success requires the emotional balance of a committed heart. When confronted with a challenge, the committed heart will search for a solution. The undecided heart searches for an escape. A committed heart does not wait for conditions to be exactly right. Why? Because conditions are never exactly right. -Andy Andrews
- When you’re out there looking for that perfect person, keep these things in mind - People change, no matter how hard they try not to. As you grow older you mature, and with each new level of maturity come different ideas, different needs and wants. The person who was perfect for you at twenty could be the person you hate when you’re thirty-five. You have to find some one who will grow with you, change with you, laugh with you and cry with you. A person who fills in where you lack, a person whom you can fill in for when they are lacking. But what about the perfect person, you ask? They do not exist. There are no perfect people, only people who are perfect for each other. You deserve to be happy not in the arms of someone who keeps you waiting but in the arms of someone who will take you now. -J.M. Whitaker
- I think you can't wait for someone to fly underneath you and save your life. I think you have to save yourself.
- I used to think when I got older, the world would make so much more sense. But you know what? The older I get, the more confusing it is to me. The more complicated it is to me. -Nick and Norah's

- How terrible it is to love something that death can touch.
- These days go by so fast, and yet the process of things actually happening through out them is slower than ever.

- The most courageous act is still to think for yourself. Aloud. -Coco Channel
- I try to put my feelings into words, but it never works. Things get mixed up, jumbled along the way. Starts to feel like I'm just going on and on about nothing. Constantly thinking but it won't read my lips. My voice... gone. I just wish you could look into someone's eyes and everything you want to say is right there. I don't want to tell anyone anything. I want them to see it for themselves.
- Have you ever fallen in love with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with?
- The saddest people I’ve ever met in life are the ones who don’t care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them, any happiness is only temporary, because there’s nothing to make it last. -Nicholas Sparks
- I hate our generation. Everyone either cares too much or too little. There's so much nonsense and pointless drama. Blame is being thrown around. "I love you" is becoming as meaningless as saying "and" or "the." What happened to the world? We got caught up in growing up way too fast. We all did.
- You can't make the same mistake twice. The second time you make it, it's no longer a mistake, it's a choice.
- And all the while, I feel I'm standing in the middle of a crowded room, screaming at the top of my lungs, and no one even looks up.
- Let go of the hate. Forget the pain. After all, has it helped you? No. It's twisted you into someone you don't recognize anymore. And you don't want to keep it that way, do you?
- Imagine: here was a young girl who was just becoming aware of our democracy; just beginning to understand the obligations of citizenship; just starting to glimpse the fact that someday she too might play a part in shaping her nation’s future. She had been elected to her student council; she saw public service as something exciting, something hopeful. She was off to meet her congresswoman, someone she was sure was good and important and might be a role model. She saw all this through the eyes of a child, undimmed by the cynicism or vitriol that we adults all too often just take for granted. I want us to live up to her expectations. I want our democracy to be as good as she imagined it. All of us - we should do everything we can to make sure this country lives up to our children’s expectations. -Barack Obama

- I’m beginning to think I am not real, and that every self-judgment is only a small projection of my fear of existing. All of me could be disproved. And even if my body was real, it would only be there so my mind would have something to float in. However I think maybe it’s too easy to feel solipsistic for the small sake of ignoring everything else.
- How I wish I could hug everyone and tell that it's okay. It's okay to be scared and angry and hurt and selfish. It's part of being human.
