    In your hesitation I found my answer.”

    Anaïs Nin
    “I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”

    Katja Millay
    “People like to say love is unconditional, but it's not, and even if it was unconditional, it's still never free. There's always an expectation attached. They always want something in return. Like they want you to be happy or whatever and that makes you automatically responsible for their happiness because they won't be happy unless you are ... I just don't want that responsibility.”

    Ranata Suzuki
    “…the sad part is, that I will probably end up loving you without you for much longer than I loved you when I knew you.
    Some people might find that strange.
    But the truth of it is that the amount of love you feel for someone and the impact they have on you as a person, is in no way relative to the amount of time you have known them.”
    ― Ranata Suzuki

    Theodore Roosevelt
    “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

    “Not only did
    I love her,
    but I could tell
    the universe loved
    her, too.
    More than others.
    She was different.
    After all; I would
    be a fool not to
    notice the way the
    sunshine played with
    her hair.”

    “I admit,
    I was afraid
    to love.
    Not just love,
    but to love her.
    For she was a stunning
    mystery. She carried things
    deep inside her that no one
    has yet to understand,
    and I,
    I was afraid to fail,
    like the others. She was the ocean
    and i was just a boy
    who loved the waves
    but was completely
    terrified to
    swim.”
