“I have spent my whole life terrified. Scared of things that could go wrong. Things that might happen; things that might not happen. But in time I’ve seen that it’s fear that’s the real enemy. So get up. Get out there, and live the life you want to live.”

“For quiet, sensitive souls, solitude is the golden thread that unites us with our inner world. We need quiet to connect the dots in our constellations of thoughts.”

We…need to forgive ourselves…For all the things we didn’t do. All the things we should have done. You can’t get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened.

“And when you get something good, please don’t go looking for something better.”

“And maybe you should learn to love her the way you want to be loved.”

It’s never too late to start over. If you weren’t happy with yesterday try something different today. Don’t stay stuck.

How you love yourself is how you teach others to love you.

I think people would be happier if they admitted things more often. In a sense we are all prisoners of some memory, or fear, or disappointment—we are all defined by something we can’t change.

“I do not think I’m easy to define. I have a wandering mind. And I’m not anything that you think I am.”

“One small crack doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart.”

“It’s really easy to complain. If you’re not careful, then you end up complaining about your whole life. Concentrating on the good things is really good. Catch people doing good.”

“But as bad as it was, I learned something about myself … That I could go through something like that, and survive.”

“Sometimes you have to do what’s best for you, not what’s best for somebody else.”
