life

"I want to see beauty. In the ugly, in the sink, in the suffering, in the daily, in all the days before I die, the moments before I sleep."

"Properly practiced, knitting soothes the troubled spirit, and it doesn't hurt the untroubled spirit either."

"The less routine the more life."

"I will make up a crush, you hear me?! I will look at a guy and say, for two months at least, 'I think you're cute.' And then I can be psycho. I will go in my head and make a whole life with him, he don't even understand why I'm mad at him. I'm like... 'cause you came in late last night!' And he's like, 'I don't even know you.'"

"If you spend your life sparing people’s feelings and feeding their vanity, you get so you can’t distinguish what should be respected in them."

"I’ve never been in a yesterday quite like today. Seems like the perfect time to be in love."

"The more credit you give away, the more will come back to you. The more you help others, the more they will want to help you."

"Going by my past journey, I am not certain where life will take me, what turns and twists will happen; nobody knows where they will end up. As life changes direction, I'll flow with it."

"I am convinced that most people do not grow up...We marry and dare to have children and call that growing up. I think what we do is mostly grow old. We carry accumulation of years in our bodies, and on our faces, but generally our real selves, the children inside, are innocent and shy as magnolias."

"I want to Live! Not Die, Not Hide, LIVE!"

"Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been unexpected, unplanned by me."

"Man has two legs and chairs have four, because we were made to stand out, not sit down—or be sat on. You are your brand—you are not a piece of furniture. Well, this applies to everyone except my grandma, but she’s dead, so she really doesn’t mind being used as a coat rack."

"it takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeded."

"Albus Severus,"Harry said quietly, so that nobody but Ginny could hear, and she was tactful enough to pretend to be waving to Rose, who was now on the train, "you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew."

"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made."

"Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative place where no one else has ever been."

"No man has a right to expect to succeed in life unless he understands his business, and nobody can understand his business thoroughly unless he learns it by personal application and experience."

"Life's a bit like mountaineering - never look down."

"I don't want to live, I want to love first and live incidentally."

"It's all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends and family."
