I must learn to love the fool in me.
The one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances,
wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates,
hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.
Theodore Isaac

Courage is not the absence of fear
but rather the judgment that something is more important than fear.
The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all.

It just seems like, you agree to have a certain personality or something.
For no reason. Just to make things easier for everyone.
But when you think about it, I mean, how do you know it's even you?

We live in a crazy world, and if you want to get through it
with your body and soul even a little bit intact, you might as well be crazy yourself.
It couldn't hurt. And it just might help.

Men are taught to apologize for their weaknesses,
women for their strengths.

In life, you don't get the people you want.
You get the people you need. To teach you. To hurt you. To love you.
To make you laugh. To make you exactly the person you should be.

Hating requires caring. In which case, I couldn’t possibly hate you.

I don’t have to prove anything to anyone.
I only have to follow my heart and concentrate on what I want to say to the world.
I run my world.

And anyway, sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are
the ones your soul needs the most.
I believe you can’t feel real joy unless you’ve felt heartache.
You can’t have a sense of victory unless you know what it means to fail.
You can’t know what it’s like to feel holy until you know
what it’s like to feel really fucking evil,
and you can’t be birthed again until you’ve died.

Your handwriting, the way you walk. Which pattern you chose.
It’s all giving you away. Everything you do shows your hand.
Everything is a self-portrait. Everything is a diary.
Chuck Palahniuk

When we forgive evil we do not excuse it.
We do not tolerate it. We do not smother it.
We look the evil full in the face, call it what it is,
let its horror shock and stun and enrage us,
and only then do we forgive it.
Lewis B. Smedes

The word ‘Normal’ has become, like, a cringing word to me.
Because, who wants to be normal?
Normal is something millions of people do every single day.
To be abnormal, to me, is what’s a lot more fun.
And I think the individualism of that is what life’s all about.
I’m very abnormal, and I love it.
Josh Hutcherson

Dedicate so much time to improving yourself

It starts so young, and I'm angry about that.
The garbage we're taught. About love, about what's "romantic."
Look at so many of the so-called romantic figures in books and movies.
Do we ever stop and think how many of them would
cause serious and drastic unhappiness after The End?
Why are sick and dangerous personality types so often shown
as passionate and tragic and something to be longed for
when those are the very ones you should run for your life from?
Think about it. Heathcliff. Romeo. Don Juan. Jay Gatsby. Rochester. Mr. Darcy.
From the rigid control freak in The Sound of Music
to all the bad boys some woman goes running to the airport to catch
in the last minute of every romantic comedy. She should let him leave.
Your time is so valuable, and look at these guys--
depressive and moody and violent and immature and self-centered.
And what about the big daddy of them all, Prince Charming?
What was his secret life? We don’t know anything about him,
other then he looks good and comes to the rescue.
Deb Caletti
