    “So you're gone and i'm haunted
    And i bet you are just fine
    Did i make it that easy to walk
    Right in and out of my life”
    Fine Frenzy

    Jodi Picoult
    “Beliefs are the roads we take to our dreams. Believe you can do something-or believe you can't-and you'll be right everytime.”
    Jodi Picoult, Sing You Home

  • #3
    Karen Marie Moning
    “It began as most thing begin. Not on a dark and stormy night. Not foreshadowed by ominous here comes the villain music, dire warning at the bottom of a teacup, or dread portents in the sky.
    It began small and innocuously, as most catastrophes do. A butterfly flaps its wings somewhere and the wind changes, and a warm front hits a cold front off the coast of western Africa and before you know it you’ve got an hurricane closing in. By the time anyone figured out the storm was coming, it was too late to do anything but batten down the hatches and exercise damage control.”
    Karen Marie Moning, Darkfever

    Willa Cather
    “There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm.”
    Willa Cather, The Song of the Lark

  • #5
    Arthur Golden
    “At the temple there is a poem called "Loss" carved into the stone. It has three words, but the poet has scratched them out. You cannot read loss, only feel it.”
    Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha

  • #6
    Agatha Christie
    “It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them. ”
    Agatha Christie, Agatha Christie: An Autobiography

  • #7
    Agatha Christie
    “You gave too much rein to your imagination. Imagination is a good servant, and a bad master. The simplest explanation is always the most likely.”
    Agatha Christie, The Mysterious Affair at Styles

  • #8
    Richelle E. Goodrich
    This is life.
    Learning to love through loss. Seeking warm pockets in the bitter cold. Finding the worth of a smile on a cloudy day. Carrying the weight of the world on weary shoulders—mistakes, sins, injustices—added upon daily. Enduring burdens that spur greater strength.
    This is life.
    Sorting through layers of expressions staring you straight in the eye. A battle to be right when wrong, to be good when bad, to be content when in need, and to laugh when tearing up.
    This is life.
    Valuing things of no worth. Reevaluating dreams. Laboring ceaselessly against the current. Seeing less, wanting more, having enough.
    This is life.
    Chasing the moon when the sun would extend its warmth. Slapping the hand that would offer a gentle caress. Cowering at personal, monstrous shadows. Giving and taking in unbalanced weights. Diminishing the majesty of mountains in order to form our own lowly hills. Hoping for more than we deserve.
    This is life.
    Hurting. Despairing. Losing. Weeping. Suffering. Laboring. Sinking. Mourning. Appreciating with greater capacity and sincerity a learned knowledge that these adversities do have their opposites.
    This is life.
    A taste. A revelation. A banishment. A mercy. A test. An experience. A turbulent sea-voyage that shall assuredly reach the unseen shore, making seasoned sailors of us all.
    This is life.
    Richelle E. Goodrich, Smile Anyway: Quotes, Verse, & Grumblings for Every Day of the Year

    Alison McGhee
    “There comes a point at which you stop giving things up. That is what i won't give up. None of it will i give up, for my beautiful sister Ivy who lies in bed. Ivy who used to be alive. Ivy who used to be. Ivy who used. Ivy who.
    Ivy-who-is-not-me.
    Not me. Not me. Not me.”
    Alison McGhee, All Rivers Flow to the Sea

  • #11
    “Promise me this, that you'll stand by me forever. But if God forbid Fate should step in and force us into a goodbye. If you have children someday, when they point to the pictures please tell them my name. Tell them how the crowd went wild, tell them how I hope they shine.”
    Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift - Speak Now Songbook: Piano/Vocal/Guitar

  • #12
    Bob Marley
    “He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
    Bob Marley

    “Most people die with their music still locked up inside them.”
    Benjamin Disraeli

  • #14
    Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
    “It may...be judged indecent in me to come forward on this occasion; but when I see a fellow-creature about to perish through the cowardice of her pretended friends, I wish to be allowed to speak, that I may say what I know of her character.”
    Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

  • #15
    Dashiell Hammett
    “...Our friend Nunheim was filled full of .32s just about an hour after he copped the sneak on us - deader'n hell. The pills look like they come from the same gun that cut down the Wolf dame. The experts are matching 'em up now. I guess he wishes he'd stayed and talked to us.”
    Dashiell Hammett, The Thin Man

    Thiruvalluvar
    “The wound made by hurting with fire will heal but the wound created by harsh words uttered using out tongue leaves an indelible scar.”
    Thiruvalluvar, Thirukkural

    Imagine Dragons

    “A fine glass vase goes from treasure to trash, the moment it is broken. Fortunately, something else happens to you and me. Pick up your pieces. Then, help me gather mine.”

    “Dignity
    /ˈdignitē/ noun

    1. The moment you realize that the person you cared for has nothing intellectually or spiritually to offer you, but a headache.

    2. The moment you realize God had greater plans for you that don’t involve crying at night or sad Pinterest quotes.

    3. The moment you stop comparing yourself to others because it undermines your worth, education and your parent’s wisdom.

    4. The moment you live your dreams, not because of what it will prove or get you, but because that is all you want to do. People’s opinions don’t matter.

    5. The moment you realize that no one is your enemy, except yourself.

    6. The moment you realize that you can have everything you want in life. However, it takes timing, the right heart, the right actions, the right passion and a willingness to risk it all. If it is not yours, it is because you really didn’t want it, need it or God prevented it.

    7. The moment you realize the ghost of your ancestors stood between you and the person you loved. They really don't want you mucking up the family line with someone that acts anything less than honorable.

    8. The moment you realize that happiness was never about getting a person. They are only a helpmate towards achieving your life mission.

    9. The moment you believe that love is not about losing or winning. It is just a few moments in time, followed by an eternity of situations to grow from.

    10. The moment you realize that you were always the right person. Only ignorant people walk away from greatness.”
    Shannon L. Alder

    “Be grateful for what you already have while you pursue your goals.”
    Roy Bennett

    Charlotte Eriksson
    “... so this is for us.
    This is for us who sing, write, dance, act, study, run and love
    and this is for doing it even if no one will ever know
    because the beauty is in the act of doing it.
    Not what it can lead to.
    This is for the times I lose myself while writing, singing, playing
    and no one is around and they will never know
    but I will forever remember
    and that shines brighter than any praise or fame or glory I will ever have,
    and this is for you who write or play or read or sing
    by yourself with the light off and door closed
    when the world is asleep and the stars are aligned
    and maybe no one will ever hear it
    or read your words
    or know your thoughts
    but it doesn’t make it less glorious.
    It makes it ethereal. Mysterious.
    Infinite.
    For it belongs to you and whatever God or spirit you believe in
    and only you can decide how much it meant
    and means
    and will forever mean
    and other people will experience it too
    through you.
    Through your spirit. Through the way you talk.
    Through the way you walk and love and laugh and care
    and I never meant to write this long
    but what I want to say is:
    Don’t try to present your art by making other people read or hear or see or touch it; make them feel it. Wear your art like your heart on your sleeve and keep it alive by making people feel a little better. Feel a little lighter. Create art in order for yourself to become yourself
    and let your very existence be your song, your poem, your story.
    Let your very identity be your book.
    Let the way people say your name sound like the sweetest melody.

    So go create. Take photographs in the wood, run alone in the rain and sing your heart out high up on a mountain
    where no one will ever hear
    and your very existence will be the most hypnotising scar.
    Make your life be your art
    and you will never be forgotten.”
    Charlotte Eriksson, Another Vagabond Lost To Love: Berlin Stories on Leaving & Arriving

    Neil Gaiman
    “There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow and endless drizzle.

    You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken.

    Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again.

    Whenever it rains you will think of her. ”
    Neil Gaiman

    Oscar Wilde
    “Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.”
    Oscar Wilde

  • #29
    Haruki Murakami
    “So that’s how we live our lives. No matter how deep and fatal the
    loss, no matter how important the thing that's stolen from us - that's
    snatched right out of our hands - even if we are left completely
    changed, with only the outer layer of skin from before, we continue to
    play out our lives this way, in silence. We draw ever nearer to the
    end of our allotted span of time, bidding it farewell as it trails off
    behind. Repeating, often adroitly, the endless deeds of the everyday.
    Leaving behind a feeling of insurmountable emptiness...
    Maybe, in some distant place, everything is already, quietly, lost.
    Or at least there exists a silent place where everything can
    disappear, melting together in a single, overlapping figure. And as
    we live our lives we discover - drawing toward us the thin threads
    attached to each - what has been lost. I closed my eyes and tried to
    bring to mind as many beautiful lost things as I could. Drawing them
    closer, holding on to them. Knowing all the while that their lives
    are fleeting.”
    Haruki Murakami, Sputnik Sweetheart

    Peter Jackson
    “I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going, because they were holding on to something.”
    Peter Jackson
