Everything's Peachy

“You can keep as quiet as you like, but one of these days somebody is going to find you.”

“Life has many ways of testing a person’s will – either by having nothing happen at all, or by having everything happen at once.”

“I dream. Sometimes I think that’s the only right thing to do.”

“We spend our time searching for security and hate it when we get it.”

“Great things are not done by impulse but by a series of small things brought together.”

After you’ve done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully. After five years, look at it with suspicion. And after ten years, throw it away and start all over.

“And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?”

“Your time is too valuable to go through life letting people control you or make you feel guilty. Take control of your happiness.”

“Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations. Don’t over-analyze your relationships. Stop playing games. A growing relationship can only be nurtured by genuineness.”

“Go where you are celebrated – not tolerated. If they can’t see the real value of you, it’s time for a new start.”

“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.”

““And you tried to change, didn’t you? Closed your mouth more. Tried to be softer, prettier, less volatile, less awake… You can’t make homes out of human beings. Someone should have already told you that. And if he wants to leave, then let him leave. You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.””
