She only looked away for a moment and the mask slipped...




(437)
She seems so cool, so focused, so quiet,
yet her eyes remained fixed upon the horizon. You think you know
all there is to know about her immediately upon meeting her,
but everything you think you know is wrong.
Passion flows through her like a river of blood.
She only looked away for a moment, and the mask slipped,
and you fell. All your tomorrows start here.
Neil Gaiman

I may not have gone where I intended to go
but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
Douglas Adams




(435)
But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship
of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone
to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.
Sex and the City

The biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.
Oprah




(433)
We all spend so much time not saying what we want,
because we know we can’t have it. And because it sounds ungracious,
or ungrateful, or disloyal, or childish, or banal.
Or because we’re so desperate to pretend that things are OK, really,
that confessing to ourselves they’re not looks like a bad move.
Go on, say what you want. … Whatever it is, say it to yourself.
The truth will set you free. Either that or it’ll get you a punch in the nose.
Surviving in whatever life you’re living means lying,
and lying corrodes the soul, so take a break from the lies for just one minute.
Nick Hornby

Eventually you will come to realize that love heals everything and love is all there is.
Gary Zukav

Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.
Marilyn Monroe

We do not need magic to change the world.
We carry all the power we need inside ourselves already.
We have the power to imagine better.
J.K. Rowling

Some people are meant only to stay in your heart, but not in your life.

To rid ourselves of shadows, we must step into either total light or total darkness.
Jeremy P. Johnson




(427)
Remember, there are no mistakes, only lessons.
Love yourself, trust your choices, and everything is possible.
Cherie Carter-Scott




(426)
That’s just the way life is, and you have no control over it.
Like suddenly people who you think are always going to be there disappear.
You know? People die and they move away and they grow up.
Dawson’s Creek




(425)
How do geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the seasons?
How do we, humans know when it is time to move on?
As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within,
if only we would listen to it, that tells us certainly when to go forth into the unknown.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross




(424)
Every bad situation will have something positive.
Even a dead clock shows the right time twice a day.

I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss,
or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have, life itself.
Walter Anderson




(422)
There are also sorts of experiences that we can't really put a name to.
The birth of a child, for one. Or the death of a parent. Falling in love.
Words are like nets. We hope they'll cover what we mean,
but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder.
Finding God is like that too. If it's happened to you, you know what it feels like.
try to describe it to someone else and language only takes you so far.
Jodi Picoult

Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.
John Maxwell




(420)
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us,
we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures,
have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand.
The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion,
who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement,
who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing
and face with us the reality of our powerlessness,
that is a friend who cares.
Henri J.M. Nouwen

There are a lot of things I wish I would have done,
instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life.
Kurt Cobain

Once upon a time there lived a girl.
She slept in a lovely little cottage made of gingerbread and candy.
She was always asleep.
One morning she woke up and the candy had mold on it.
Her father blew her a kiss and the house fell down.
She realized she was lost.
She found herself walking down a crowded street,
but the people were made of paper, like paper dolls.
She blew everyone a kiss goodbye and watched as they blew away.
