Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past.”

    Gayle Forman
    “If you stay, I'll do whatever you want. I'll quit the band, go with you to New York. But if you need me to go away, I'll do that, too. I was talking to Liz and she said maybe coming back to your old life would be too painful, that maybe it'd be easier for you to erase us. And that would suck, but I'd do it. I can lose you like that if I don't lose you today. I'll let you go. If you stay.”
    Gayle Forman, If I Stay

    Stephen Fry
    “If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation; depression just is, like the weather.

    Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness, and loneliness they’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do.”
    Stephen Fry

    Neil Gaiman
    “Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.”
    Neil Gaiman, M Is for Magic

    Angelica Hopes
    “Life without strife is a rose without thorns.
    Alive as one is thriving today towards tomorrow,
    Nowhere is the past but simply a school of memory.
    Dreams, wishes, goals then becomes a wheel of “wills,”
    Spirit of a unique being on each soul breathing.
    Care to ponder some matter or another?
    Awareness sliding towards discovery gliding…
    Peace, contentment, fulfillment,
    Enwrapped like a mirage enchantment.
    Soaring freely, excitingly, happily home-love-bound!


    Over precious moments in a breathing of a soul,
    Flowing high emotions, feelings, hearts in bliss.


    All around any season of one's existence, one asks:
    “Anyone out there?
    A heart of a soul that didn’t harden?
    A touch of a soul that didn’t hurt?
    A life of a soul that didn't love?”


    Sands of time, rough, warm, indefinite,
    simply spreading, transforming, mounting.
    Oasis of a soul from a desert journey,
    flourishing with endless beauty and security.
    Utmost bliss, fulfillment and contentment,
    under covers a struggling, hopeful soul,
    Laboring service, living justice,
    loving peace and tranquillity passed on to humanity!�”
    Angelica Hopes, Rhythm of a Heart, Music of a Soul

    Yasmin Mogahed
    “Real love brings about calm—not inner torment. True love allows you to be at peace with yourself and with God. That is why Allah says: “that you may dwell in tranquility.” Hawa is the opposite. Hawa will make you miserable. And just like a drug, you will crave it always, but never be satisfied. You will chase it to your own detriment, but never reach it.”
