“Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.”
quote by Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger

“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”
Quote by Virginia Woolf

“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often
times we call a man cold when he is only sad.”
Quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were
merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn
between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This
makes it hard to plan the day.”
Quote by E.B. White
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“To love. To be loved. To never
forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence
and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places.
To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or
complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to
watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
Quote by Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are
afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life
has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love
ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love
ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential
to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness
and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”
Quote by John Lennon
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“There will come a time when all
of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human
beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever
did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let
alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and
discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe
that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we
survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time
before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And
if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore
it. God knows that’s what everyone else does.”
Quotes by John Green, The Fault
in Our Stars
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone
won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to
love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to
risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you
are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself
sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps,
wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
Quote by Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum LP

“Get busy living or get busy dying.”
Quote by Stephen King, Different Seasons

“Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of
imagination.”
Quote by Oscar Wilde
