"I don't want to have you to fill up the empty parts of me. I WANT TO BE FULL ON MY OWN. I want to be so complete I could light a whole city and then I want to have you cause the two of us combined could set it on fire"

-Milk and Honey

"As Einstein said, God doesn't play dice with the universe, everything is interconnected and has meaning. That meaning may remain hidden nearly all the time, but we always know we are close to our true mission on Earth when what we are doing is touched with the energy of enthusiasm."

-The Zahir

"There is only one sin. And that's theft. When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, lose his children children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness."

-The Kite runner

"Why bet on not going a place? Why not take a chance and bet on happiness?"

-The Alchemist

"Some people are born with a piece of night inside, and that hollow place can never be filled-not with all the good food or sunshine in the world. That emptiness cannot be banished and so some days we wake with the feeling of the wind blowing through, and we must simply endure it."

"Sometimes you can do everything right and things will still go wrong. The key is to never stop doing right"

"I was going to win, it was just the matter of when."

"It maybe unfair but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the count of a whole lifetime"

-The kite runner

"So much has taken from you, but so much has been given too, perhaps"

"Virginia Woolf wrote: English, which can express the thoughts of Hamlet and the tragedy of Lear, has no words for the shiver and the headache... The merest schoolgirl, when she falls in love, has Shakespeare or Keats to speak her mind for her, but let a sufferer try to describe a pain in his head to a doctor and language at once runs dry.”

"The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity."

-Turtles all the way down

"Finite to fail, but infinite to venture"

-Emily Dickinson

'You either born knowing how or you never know"

"In our society, those who have the best knowledge of what is happening are also those who are farthest from seeing the world as it is. In general, the greater the understanding, the greater the delusion, the more intelligent, the less sane"

-1984

"I was beautiful, if fat. I was smart, if loud. I was good, if ruined."

-Lucky

"I can wreak no great changes on the world, only small changes for the better, I love, in the lives of those I love, which means that to live I must care not about what I am but what I can became, not about the past but about the future"

"Parla came magni-Speak the way you eat"

"Your most enemy, he reflected, was your own nervous system"

-1984

"That's why you need to grab whatever chance you have for happiness where you find it, and not worry, too much about other people. My experience tells me that we get no more than 2 or 3 such chances in a lifetime and if you let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives"

-Norweigan wood

"Because if you're only brave when you're happy then it's not bravery"

"Poetry as the FOOD of love. Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what is strong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, I am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away."

-Pride and Prejudice

"Where there is great love, there are always miracles"

-I'll give you the sun

"Perhaps extreme danger strips us of all pretenses, all ambitions, all confusions, focusing us more intensely than we are otherwise ever focused, so that we remember what we otherwise spend most of our lives forgetting: that our nature and purpose is, more than anything else, to love and to make love, to take joy from the beauty of the world, to live with an awareness that the future is not as real a place for any of us as are the present and the past."

-Fear nothing

"What most people find important, you do not. That is wisdom. To what you believe is important, you are ready to give your mind, heart and soul. This is grace. We have only the sea, love and time. God gave you the sea. By your own actions you will find love always. So I give you time."

-Fear nothing

"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world-Oscar Wilde, 1888"

-The night circus

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.”

-Tale of two cities

"To live as much as possible without worry and without fear, to live in the moment with little concern for the future. In short, to trust God and to believe that I, like everyone, was here for a purpose; to be grateful for my limitations as for my talents and blessings,because both are part of a design beyond my comprehension"

-Fear nothing 

"All animals are created equal, but some are more equal than others. Here in the real world, all equals are created animal, but some are more animal than others"

“You know sometimes it’s the little details that take up the most room in your heart.
