"There are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls, and sometimes all you need is one."
"sometimes the people we love, just
forget to love us back."
"When I fell to the floor tonight, I was so scared, I was so terrified. Then I saw you, and I promised myself that if I could just get up, I'd walk over to you... I'd tell you how much I need you and how much I want you... and how nothing else matters."
"As happens sometimes a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment. And then the moment was gone."
"There is no privacy that cannot be penetrated. No secret can be kept in the civilized world. Society is a masked ball where everyone hides his real character and reveals it by hiding."
Stephen King wrote: "Time takes it all. Whether you want it to or not, time takes it all away, time bares it away. And in the end, there is only darkness. Sometimes we find others in that darkness, and sometimes we lose them there again."
"Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each."
"You think you know me, but you don’t, and that means you don’t know what I can do.
You see me as someone who has all the answers, and that’s not true. I may not always know what I’m doing but I’ll try to make things better. And when I make a mistake, just face it, because we all do. I promise I’ll ask for your help. I can’t do this alone, but if you take a chance on me, we’ll do great things together. I promise if you believe in me, I’ll find the courage to reach your every dream. John F. Kennedy once said the courage of triumph is a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy, a man does what he must in spite of consequences, in spite of obstacles, dangers, and pressures and that is the basis of all morality."
"while trying to grasp the things we desire,
the things we think will make our lives better: money, popularity, fame
we ignore what truly matters, the simple things
like friendship, family and love
the things we probably already had"
"Do not look back in grief of the past for it is gone and do not be troubled for the future is yet to come. Live in the present and make it so beautiful it will actually be worth a memory."
"Most of our life is a series of images, they pass us by like towns on the highway. But sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever."
"Tragedies happen.
What are you gonna do, give up? Quit? No.
I realize now that when your heart breaks, you got to fight like hell to make sure you're still alive.
Because you are. And that pain you feel? That's life.
The confusion and fear?
That's there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better,
& that something is worth fighting for."
"If having things turn out the way you want them to is a measure of a successful life then some would say I was a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life’s disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that everyday won’t be silence and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it’s only in the black of night that you can see the stars and those stars lead you back home. So don’t be afraid to make mistakes, stumble, fall, cause most of the time the greatest rewards come from the things that scare you the most. Maybe you’ll get everything you wish for, maybe you’ll get more than you could ever imagine. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end the journey is the destination."
"Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty? This hatred? How did it find us? Did it steal into our lives or did we seak it out and embrace it? What happened to us? That we now send our children into the world like we send young men to war. Hoping for their safe return but knowing that some will be lost along the way. When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows, swallowed whole by the darkness. Does this darkness have a name? Is it your name?"
