We are capable of so much more...

(1086)
So often we only do what we think is expected of us,
when we are capable of so much more.
Cynthia Hand




(1085)
It’s never been a perfect world. It’s never going to be.
It’s going to be hard and scary.
And if you’re lucky, wonderful and awe-inspiring.
But you have to push through the bad parts to get to the good.
Carrie Ryan




(1084)
Living is like tearing through a museum.
Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw,
thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering -
because you can’t take it in all at once.
Audrey Hepburn




(1083)
You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of.
You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.
Albert Camus




(1082)
If something bad happened, you could look at it as a failure,
or you could look at it as a chance to head in a new direction.
Jodi Picoult




(1081)
People think they know you. They think they know how
you’re handling a situation. But the truth is, no one knows.
No one knows what happens after you leave them,
when you’re lying in bed or sitting over your breakfast alone
and all you want to do is cry or scream. They don’t know what’s going on
inside your head - the mind-numbing cocktail of anger and sadness and guilt.
This isn’t their fault. They just don’t know. And so they pretend
and they say you’re doing great when you’re really not.
And this makes everyone feel better. Everybody but you.
William H. Woodwell




(1080)
When you love someone, you don’t want to hurt them, even if they deserve to be hurt.
Ellen Hopkins




(1079)
The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy
to tell others how they love them while they’re alive.
Transformers




(1078)
Dare I say I miss him? I do. I miss him.
I still see him in my dreams. They are nightmares mostly,
but nightmares tinged with love.
Yann Martel




(1077)
This is looking like a contest of who can act like they care less,
but I liked it better when you were on my side.
The battle is in your hands now, but I would lay my armor down
if you said you’d rather love than fight.
Taylor Swift




(1076)
I think you’re the only person who gets me.
When I’m with you, the world doesn’t feel like a problem I can’t figure out.
Jodi Picoult




(1075)
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me, it happens all the time.
Lady Antabellum




(1074)
I’ve given lots of people chances,
but there’s only so much faith you can have in people.
Sarah Dessen




(1073)
People told me to give up trying to be special and settle down
to a regular life. There ain’t nothing wrong with a regular life,
and that’s the Lord’s truth… But it wasn’t for me,
because I wanted to be something special.
I knew how easy it was for a dream to die. I seen that all around.
You could let it die by just looking the other way.
Walter Dean Myers




(1072)
The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.
Audrey Hepburn

It feels like I’m doing a really bad impersonation of myself...

(1071)
More and more, it feels like I’m doing a really bad impersonation of myself.
Chuck Palahniuk




(1070)
You just do it. You force yourself to get up.
You force yourself to put one foot before the other, and God damn it,
you refuse to let it get to you. You fight. You cry. You curse.
Then you go about the business of living. That’s how I’ve done it.
There’s no other way.
Elizabeth Taylor




(1069)
When I was young, my mother always told me happiness was the key to life.
When I went to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment.
I told them they don’t understand life.
John Lennon




(1068)
I’m still mad at you, and I don’t know if I trust you.
I want to, but I don’t know if I do. I’m just gonna try.
I’m gonna try and trust you.
I believe that we can be extraordinary together
rather than be ordinary apart.
Grey’s Anatomy




(1067)
Don’t talk to me because you’re “bored.”
I’m not here to entertain you.
And don’t come to me only when you need a favor.
I don’t like being used.
Just get away cause I’m not going to be your last resort.
I want someone to talk to me because they sincerely want to.
Those kind of people are worth my time.
Sandy Chianh




(1066)
I love you more than songs can say,
but I can’t keep running back to yesterday.
John Mayer




(1065)
Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting
to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage.
Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence,
something helpless that wants our love.
Rainer Maria Rilke




(1064)
You can plan for a change in the weather and time,
but I never planned on you changing your mind…
So I’ll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes.
All that I know is I don’t know how to be something you miss.
Taylor Swift




(1063)
In the end, it all comes down to the fact that I care too much
and you don’t care enough.
Unknown




(1062)
Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you,
it’s not because they enjoy solitude. It’s because they have tried
to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.
Jodi Picoult




(1061)
Sometimes there are no words, no clever quotes
to neatly sum up what’s happened that day.
Sometimes you do everything right, everything exactly right,
and still you feel like you failed. Did it need to end that way?
Could something have been done to prevent the tragedy in the first place?
Sometimes the day just…ends.
Criminal Minds




(1060)
Sometimes I’m terrified of my heart;
of its constant hunger for whatever it is it wants.
The way it stops and starts.
Edgar Allan Poe




(1059)
Forgiveness is such a simple word,
but it so hard to do when you’ve been hurt.
Kelli Pickler




(1058)
I’m so afraid of losing something I love, that I refuse to love anything.
Jonathon Safran Foer




(1057)
The difference between how you look and how you see yourself
is enough to kill most people. And maybe the reason vampires don’t die
is because they can never see themselves in photographs or mirrors.
Chuck Palahniuk




(1056)
Nothing worth having comes easy.
Booker T. Washington




(1055)
I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way,
that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning,
middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change,
taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing
what’s going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity.
Gilda Radner




(1054)
Out of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most.
Mark Twain




(1053)
But I was sure of something, too:
it’s a lot easier to be lost than found.
It’s the reason we’re always searching, and rarely discovered
—so many locks, not enough keys.
Sarah Dessen




(1052)
Maybe everyone is just waiting for someone else to save them.
Margaret Peterson Haddix

Love? I need a lot of love...

(1051)
"Love? I need a lot of love.”
Of course you do. Everyone does. It’s funny that we never say it.
It’s okay to scream, ‘I’m starving’ in public if you are hungry;
it’s okay to make a fuss and say, ‘I’m so sleepy’, if you are tired;
but somehow we cannot say, ‘I need some more love.’
Why can’t we say it? It’s just as basic a need.
Chetan Bhagat




(1050)
I believe in everything until it’s disproved.
So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons.
It all exists, even if it’s in your mind.
Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real
as the here and now?
John Lennon




(1049)
I need to talk to someone… No, I need to talk to you.
One Day




(1048)
"Why did you do all this for me?” he asked.
“I don’t deserve it. I’ve never done anything for you."
"You have been my friend," replied Charlotte.
"That in itself is a tremendous thing."
Charlotte’s Web




(1047)
Don’t you think it would be wonderful to get rid of everything
and everybody and just go some place where you don’t know a soul?
Haruki Murakami




(1046)
We feel that to reveal embarrassing or private things,
we have given someone something, that, like a primitive person fearing
that a photographer will steal his soul, we identify our secrets, our past
and their blotches, with our identity, that revealing our habits
or losses or deeds somehow makes one less of oneself.
Dave Eggers




(1045)
"Sometimes I wish I could just erase the past,” she said.
“Get amnesia, maybe. I wouldn’t have to forget everything.
Just the hard stuff. The stuff that hurts.
The times I’ve disappointed people. The times people have disappointed me.”
“But if you lost all the bad stuff, the good stuff wouldn’t feel so good,” he said.
Unknown




(1044)
I have felt the presence of God my whole life.
Even when I didn’t have a name for it, I could feel the voice bigger
than myself speaking to me, and all of us have that same voice.
Be still and know it. You can acknowledge it or not. You can worship it or not.
You can praise it, you can ignore it, or you can know it.
Know it.
Oprah




(1043)
People don’t want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved.
Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up.
Because what would they have left?
Chuck Palahniuk




(1042)
Never gonna grow up. Never gonna slow down.
We were shinning like lighters in the dark in the middle of a rock show.
Jake Owen




(1041)
I always knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh,
but I never knew looking back on the laughs would make me cry.
Unknown




(1040)
What about when someone doesn’t need a shoulder?
What if they need the arms?
Stephen Chbosky




(1039)
You held your pride like you should have held me.
Taylor Swift

I will love you... I will love you... I will love you...

(1038)
His Pledge to Her:
I will kill the spiders.
I will share my fries with you when you’ve finished all yours and are still hungry.
I won’t ever pop my collar.
I will never be rude to your tummy- when I hear it growl and gurgle,
I promise to bend down and reply respectfully.
I will eat the mushrooms when we order the supreme pizza.
I will kiss the paper cuts and the door-slammed finger and the counter-bumped hip.
I’ll try my hardest not to get annoyed when you whisper questions
and comments during movies.
I will be the big spoon.
I will let you win at wrestling. Sometimes. Other times I will not.
I will go faster. Harder. I will pull when you want and tease you when you don’t.
I will send you random texts and leave you silly gifts.
Not always. Not on schedule. Just whenever I want to.
Whenever i think you need one. Or seven.
I will check your tire pressure and remind you to take your car in.
I will hold your hand.
I will love you.
I will love you.
I will love you.
The Picture Above




(1037)
I’d tell you I’d miss you but I don’t know how.
I’ve never heard silence quiet this loud.
Taylor Swift




(1036)
Screws fall out all the time.
The world is an imperfect place.
The Breakfast Club




(1035)
It takes courage to love.
Eleanor Roosevelt




(1034)
They didn’t agree on much. In fact, they didn’t agree on anything.
They fought all the time and challenged each other ever day.
But despite their differences, they had one important thing in common.
They were crazy about each other.
Nicholas Sparks




(1033)
That’s the really annoying thing about love.
I probably would be happier if I didn’t know it, but once you do know it,
once you feel those things for someone, you can’t make yourself really wish it away.
It’s like wishing away… your soul.
Toni Blake




(1032)
And I thought that all those little kids are going to grow up someday.
And all of those little kids are going to do the things that we do.
And they will all kiss someone someday.
But for now, sledding is enough.
I think it would be great if sledding were always enough,
but it isn’t.
Stephen Chbosky




(1031)
I’m so tired of being here. I’m suppressed by all my childish fears.
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
cause your presence still lingers here and it won’t leave me alone.
Evanescence




(1030)
No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin,
or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate,
and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love,
for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela




(1029)
Sometimes I think the human heart is just a simple shelf.
There’s only so much you can pile onto it before something falls off an edge
and you are left to pick up the pieces.
Jodi Picoult




(1028)
I have never met anyone who actually thought I was enough…
Until I met you.
Love and Other Drugs




(1027)
She carries memories around like souvenirs down in her pockets.
She should have let some go by now but can't seem to drop it.
The Eli Young Band




(1026)
There are worse things than being alone, but it often takes decades
to realize this and most often when you do it’s too late,
and there is nothing worse than too late.
Charles Bukowski




(1025)
Maybe there’s something you’re afraid to say,
or someone you’re afraid to love, or somewhere you’re afraid to go.
It’s gonna hurt. It’s gonna hurt because it matters.
John Green




(1024)
That’s what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.
Most people love you for who you pretend to be.
To keep their love, you keep pretending - performing.
Jim Morrison




(1023)
Do you love me? Do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand if you want to.
I think this is how love goes…
George Straight




(1022)
I told him that I loved him and that I’d always love him
and I felt like a child who throws a centavo into a fountain
and then she has to tell someone her most extraordinary wish
even though she knows that the wish should be kept secret and that,
in telling it, she is quite probably losing it.
He replied that I was not to worry, that the penny
could come out of the fountain again and again and again.
Colum McCann




(1021)
It’s easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them,
their present and their past, but you’d be amazed
at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world
is only one tiny facet of the iceberg hidden from sight. And more often then not,
it’s lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
Sherrilyn Kenyon
