You think there’s nothing out there for you, but there is...

You think there’s nothing out there for you, but there is.

 You just can’t see it. 

Water for Elephants


 

 

 

(1263)

It’s so curious: one can resist tears and ‘behave’ 

very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then 

someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, 

or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday

 has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer

… and everything collapses.

Colette

 

 

(1262)

Love doesn’t have to be on Valentine’s Day. 

It doesn’t have to be by the time you turn eighteen 

or thirty-three or fifty-nine. It doesn’t have to conform 

to whatever is usual. It doesn’t have to be kismet at once,

 or rhapsody by the third day. It just has to be.

 In time. In place. In spirit. 

It just has to be. 

David Levithan

I forgive not because I became a saint,
but because I’m tired of hating.

Paulo Coelho


 

 

 

(1260)

It’s funny how you can forget everything 

except people loving you. Maybe that’s why humans

 find it so hard getting over love affairs. 

It’s not the pain they’re getting over, it’s the love.

Melina Marchetta



 

 

(1259)

People are not bombs, bullets, 

they’re not a color of skin, a sexual orientation. 

They’re not male or female, 

they’re not a nationality, they’re not a flag.

 They’re human beings.

Justin Greever

You can only hurt someone until there’s nothing left to hurt.

You never really understand a person 

until you consider things from his point of view—

until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.

What kills love? Only this: neglect.

(1254)

If you end up with a boring miserable life 

because you listened to your mom, your dad, 

your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television 

telling you how to do your shit, 

then you deserve it.

Frank Zappa

And I knew those were special moments, but something was always wrong...

 

(1253)

I’ve been with people and shared beautiful moments

 like traveling or staying up all night and watching the sunrise. 

And I knew those were special moments. 

But something was always wrong. 

I wished I’d been with someone else.

 Before Sunrise

The breaking of a wave cannot explain the whole sea.

Vladimir Nabokov



 

 

(1251)

And I know you’re going somewhere to make a better life.
I hope that you find it on the first try. And even though it kills me
that you have to go, I know it'll be sadder
if you never hit the road.

A lot of parents will do anything for their kids

This is about all the bad days in the world. 

I used to have some little bad days and I kept them in a little box.

 And one day, I threw them out into the yard. “Oh, it’s just a 

couple little innocent bad days.” Well, we had a big rain. 

I don’t know what it was growing in, but I think we used 

to put eggshells out there and coffee grounds, too. 

Don’t plant your bad days. They grow into weeks. 

The weeks grow into months. Before you know it 

you got yourself a bad year. Take it from me. 

Choke those little bad days. 

Choke ‘em down to nothin’. 

They’re your days. Choke ‘em!

Tom Waits

Be brave. Take risks. 

Nothing can substitute experience. 

Paulo Coelho


 

 

 

(1247)

I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don’t know why,

 some people fill the gaps and others emphasize my loneliness.

 In reality those who satisfy me are those who simply allow me

 to live with my “idea of them.” 

Anaïs Nin

What we do for ourselves dies with us. 

What we do for other and the world

You never think the last time’s going to be the last time 

- you think there will be more. You think you have

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

G. K. Chesterton



 

 

(1243)

Since when has love ever looked for reasons, 

or evidence? Why would love bow to the reality of things, 

when it creates a reality of its own, so much more vivid, 

wherein everything resonates to the key of the heart?

Paul Murray

I am the broken,
the scarred, scattered and the lost;
but you love me still.

It's all our's for the taking...

 

 

(1240)

There’s a great big hunk of world out there with no fences around it…

and beyond those distant hills, who knows what 

wonderful experiences. And it’s all ours for the taking.

I missed you even when I was with you. 

That’s been my problem. I miss what I already have.

Jonathan Safran Foer


 

 

 

(1238)

It happens to everyone as they grow up. 

You find out who you are and what you want, and then 

you realize that people you’ve known forever don’t see things 

the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, 

but find yourself moving on.

Nicholas Sparks

Humans punish themselves endlessly for not being 

what they believe they should be. They become very self-abusive,

 and they use other people to abuse themselves as well.

Don Miguel Ruiz

I wasn’t actually in love, but I felt a sort of tender curiosity.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

I’ve learned it’s important not to limit yourself. 

You can do whatever you really love to do,

Ryan Gosling


 

 

 

(1234)

There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves

 at a crossroad, afraid, confused, without a roadmap. The choices

 we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. 

Of course when faced with the unknown, 

most of us prefer to turn around and go back.

I’d be smiling and chatting away, and my mind 

would be floating around somewhere else, 

like a balloon with a broken string.

The easiest thing to feel is sadness.

Justin Vernon


 

 

 

(1231)

If you were mine, I’d kiss your ankles and neck

 and the tip of your nose. I’d bring you film canisters

 filled with love notes and interesting books and

 I’d send you texts with random facts whenever I discovered

 something new. I’d show up at your house at midnight

 with a pot of your favourite kind of tea and a 

blanket and tell you to come down so we could lie down

 on your lawn and look at the stars. I’d go into the city

 with you and throw away your map and search 

for someplace beautiful. I’d photograph you every day.

 I’d buy you baggy t-shirts and sing to you

 constantly. I’d give you your space if you wanted it, 

I’d make you mixes for every week we’d been together,

 I’d hold your hand underwater, and 

I’d love you until you asked me not to.

Even after the entire world has taken me apart,

If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show

 on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts

 every day, every week, every year, 

the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly

 bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts

 cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose

 and a crooked mouth and a double chin

 and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts

 it will shine out of your face like sunbeams 

and you will always look lovely.

Roald Dahl

I was always hungry for love...

 

(1228)

I was always hungry for love. Just once, 

I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it — 

to be fed so much love I couldn’t take any more. Just once.

Haruki Murakami

 

 

 

(1227)

And I hide because there’s more to me than what you see

 and I’m not sure you’d like the rest. I know that sometimes,

 I don’t like the rest.

Life shrinks or expands according to one’s courage.

In an ideal world, no one would talk before 10 am.

 People would just hug, because waking up is really hard.

Zooey Deschanel

 

 

(1224)

And because I finally woke up to that whole realization

 much too late—the realization that life really happens 

and there is always a consequence for your actions—

I lost everything, in some sense, but in a weird kind of

 great way, if you flip it all around, I may have gained

 the most important thing of all: the truth.

 Jason Myers

Never love anyone who treats you like you’re ordinary.

I think that life is too short and too strange

 and too awful and too unpredictable to not try

 and get more of what you want.

Michelle Williams

In Greek, “nostalgia” literally means “the pain from an old wound”.

 It’s a twinge in your heart, far more powerful 

than memory alone. This device isn’t a spaceship, 

it’s a time machine. It goes backwards and forwards,

 it takes us to a place where we ache to go again.

Don Draper

Loneliness adds beauty to life. 

It puts a special burn on sunsets 

and makes night air smell better.

Henry Rollins

Sometimes when you meet someone, there’s a click. 

I don’t believe in love at first sight 

but I believe in that click.

No one saves us but ourselves. 

No one can and no one may.

If you let people’s perception of you dictate your behavior,

They’ve promised that dreams can come true. 

But forget to mention that nightmares are dreams, too.

It’s the oldest story in the world. One day, 

you’re 17 and you’re planning for someday. And then quietly, 

without you’re ever really noticing, someday is today. 

And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.
