Quotable Life

Knowing is better than wondering, waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst... beats the hell out of never trying.

Let us spend our lives chasing the tiny moments of grace that hide in borrowed breaths, stolen glances, and the last instant before smiling lips come to rest.

I'm fiercely independent, but I'm also terrified of being alone.

It doesn't matter who you are or what has happened to you. All that matters is where you go from here.

You are what you love, not who loves you.

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Consult not your fears, but your hopes and dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you have tried and failed in, but what is still possible for you to do.

It is our choices that show who we are, far more than our abilities.

Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

My whole life is a giant mess and I love it.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. I read that once on a can of lemonade. I like to think it applies to life.
