A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others.

When people are protecting something truly special to them, they truly can become…as strong as they can be.

One day can bend your life.

Fairy tales don’t tell children that dragons exist. Children already know dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed.

Sometimes there aren’t words. The silence between us is flung wide as an ocean. But I manage to reach across it, to wrap my arms around him.

Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being “in love”, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.

Your task is not to seek love, but merely to seek and find all of the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

When people walk away from you, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone who leaves you, and it doesn’t mean they are bad people. It just means that their part in your story is over.

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. You get to love your pretence. It’s true, we’re locked in an image, an act - and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image, they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it, they feel like you’re trying to steal their most precious possession..

You know that feeling? That feeling when you just want the right thing to fall into the right place, not only because it’s right, but because it will mean that such a thing is still possible? I want to believe that.

Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can.

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.

A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another, they will fall for each other. Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever.

Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.

Never mistake kindness for weakness. Never take advantage of another person’s time or good will. Never stoop to conquer. Never think you’ll get away with it. Never forget where you came from. Never give up.

He loved you and you loved him. You can’t measure that love by how many days you spent together.

Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.

So what do I wish for? Something I’m not sure I want? Someone I’m not sure I need? Or someone I know I can’t have?

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose…you’re everything

There’s that one moment,
the moment when you’ve figured out how
much you’ve really let go,
& how much you’ve grown.
It’s that moment when you can’t look back,
yet you can’t seem to look too far into the future.
It’s that moment when you realize
that you’re living for yourself & no one else.

Everybody wants to be understood
Well I can hear you
Everybody wants to be loved
Don’t give up
Because you are loved

Always be on the lookout for ways to turn a problem into an opportunity for success. Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream.

If you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.

Love is the very essence of life. It is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Is falling in love with someone’s story the same thing as falling in love with the person himself?

Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.

Everybody has difficult years, but a lot of times the difficult years end up being the greatest years of your whole entire life, if you survive them.

Those who hurt others will also hurt themselves.

Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.

Where there’s hope, there’s life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.

I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your drinks. How you decorate your home. Or party. The way you write your grocery list. The food you make. How your handwriting looks. And the way you feel.

Love can sometimes be magic. But magic can sometimes…just be an illusion.
