"All my life, my heart has yearned for a thing I cannot name."

"This is what it means to live on. When granted hope, a person uses it as fuel, as a guidepost to life. It is impossible to live without hope."

"I hope that there's a difference between being childish and childlike and that I'm the latter, if you take my meaning. I often sort of wonder. I don't think I'm a terribly good grown-up; I don't take responsibility easily or well in many areas of life. Finance and stuff like that, I'm absolutely appalling."

"My mother was strong, in all the ways I was weak. She fell, she hurt, she felt. She lived. And for all the tumble of her experiences, she still had hope. Maybe this next time would do the trick. Or maybe not. But unless you stepped into the game, you will never know."

"Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and importance, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction."

"Oh well, maybe the only beauty left in cities is in the oil slicks on the road and maybe there isn't any beauty left in the people who live in these places."

"Once for all, then, a short precept is given thee: Love, and do what thou wilt: whether thou hold thy peace, through love hold thy peace; whether thou cry out, through love cry out; whether thou correct, through love correct; whether thou spare, through love do thou spare: let the root of love be within, of this root can nothing spring but what is good."

"I could recognise his soul in mine as much as he could find me in his. Our sole existences seemed to have been for this very moment when nothing else mattered."

"Family [10w] Family is a truth pill ~ just beware of an overdose."

"If you hang out with chickens, you're going to cluck and if you hang out with eagles, you're going to fly."

"...because love is continual interrogation. I don't know of a better definition of love."

"I’ve got a way with love. Away with love."

"Hungry When you're hungry everything tastes good.Note to myself: Don't get married when you're hungry."

"If you're gonna burn a bridge behind you, make sure you've crossed it first."

"Oh, Life, I am yours. Whatever it is you want of me, I am ready to give."

"Being kind is the most important thing I've ever been taught. That's what my parents always told me - more important than ambition or success is being kind to people. The cornerstone of my life. What I aspire to is to be kind."

"There's no heaven as I had known before. It's just a great universe which is available to be enjoyed by souls who dream about it."

"For so many years, I couldn’t understand why every time I thought that someone finally loved me, like… for real, they would eventually turn to vapor. Every person whom I’ve ever loved is trapped inside of my chest. I’ve breathed all of them in so deeply that I’ve nearly choked and died on every soul that I’ve ever given myself to."

"Why did I write? Because I found life unsatisfactory."

"Cinco de Mayo [10w] What day do the dead party to celebrate the living?"
