Hope

"The truth is I didn’t need therapy; I just needed to feel loved and know that someone out there craved my attention."

"If I lived a million lives, I would've felt a million feelings and I still would've fallen a million times for you."

"Madness and chaos are self-destructing but over thinking is the suicide."

"Don’t care about day to day things, don’t care about the mundane, but care about what matters."

"No amount of me trying to explain myself was doing any good. I didn't even know what was going on inside of me, so how could I have explained it to them?"

"The best kind of humans are the ones who stay."

"Persistence is a necessary ingredient for success."

"The source of all things, the luminescence, has more forms than heaven's stars, sure. And one good thought is all it takes to make it shine. But a single mistake can burn down a forest in your heart, hiding all the stars, in all the skies. And while a mistake's till burning, ruined love or lost faith can make you think you're done, and you can't go on. But it's not true. It's never true. No matter what you do, no matter where you're lost, the luminescence never leaves you. Any good thing that dies inside can rise again, if you want it hard enough. The heart doesn't know how to quit, because it doesn't know how to lie. You lift your eyes from the page, fall into the smile of a perfect stranger, and the searching starts all over again. It's not what it was. It's always different. It's always something else. But the new forest that grows back in a scarred heart is sometimes wilder and stronger than it was before the fire. And if you stay in there, in that shine within yourself, that new place of light, forgiving everything and never giving up, sooner or later you'll always find yourself right back there where love and beauty made the world: at the beginning. The beginning. The beginning."

"We swallowed the chaos because we knew we didn't want to be ordinary."

"The struggles we endure today will be the ‘good old days’ we laugh about tomorrow."

"A Dream Within A Dream Take this kiss upon the brow!And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow-You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream;Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less gone?All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore,And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand-How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep,While I weep- while I weep!O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp?O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave?Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?"

"Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower;We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind;In the primal sympathy Which having been must ever be..."

"To be rejected by someone doesn't mean you should also reject yourself or that you should think of yourself as a lesser person. It doesn't mean that nobody will ever love you anymore. Remember that only ONE person has rejected you at the moment, and it only hurt so much because to you, that person's opinion symbolized the opinion of the whole world, of God."

"Yes, I decided, a man can truly change. The events of the past year have taught me much about myself, and a few universal truths. I learned, for instance, that while wounds can be inflicted easily upon those we love, it's often much more difficult to heal them. Yet the process of healing those wounds provided the richest experience of my life, leading me to believe that while I've often overestimated what I could accomplish in a day, I had underestimated what I could do in a year. But most of all, I learned that it's possible for two people to fall in love all over again, even when there's been a lifetime of disappointment between them."

"A tamed woman will never leave her mark in the world."

"Somewhere along the way we all go a bit mad. So burn, let go and dive into the horror, because maybe it’s the chaos which helps us find where we belong."

"Sometimes to self-discover you must self-destruct."

"Inventory:Four be the things I am wiser to know:Idleness, sorrow, a friend, and a foe. Four be the things I'd been better without:Love, curiosity, freckles, and doubt. Three be the things I shall never attain:Envy, content, and sufficient champagne. Three be the things I shall have till I die:Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye."
