People don’t always get what they deserve in this world.

Lemony Snicket

Some things are hard to write about. After something happens to you, you go to write it down, and either you over dramatize it, or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones. At any rate, you never write it quite the way you want to.

Sylvia Plath

Someone you haven't even met yet is wondering what it'd be like to know someone like you.

Never carry things on from the past. The past is gone. Every moment - be rid of it, solved or unsolved. Drop it, and don’t carry parts - because those parts won’t allow you to solve new problems that live in this moment.

Osho

Learn to say no without explaining yourself.

A true friend is someone who says nice things behind your back.

We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Joseph Campbell

It’s better to have nobody than someone who is half there, or who doesn’t want to be there.

Angelina Jolie

What’s the worst thing I’ve stolen? Probably little pieces of other people’s lives. Where I’ve either wasted their time or hurt them in some way. That’s the worst thing you can steal, the time of other people. You just can’t get that back.

Chester Bennington

Please don’t come closer unless you plan to stay.

You can’t expect yourself to go from a negative mentality to a positive one overnight, but every time you correct a bad thought you are growing! So focus on your growth, not the fact that you aren’t “there” yet.

If you want something you can have it, but only if you want everything that goes with it, including all the hard work and the despair, and only if you’re willing to risk failure.

Philip Pullman

Learning to invest
in yourself
will bring you a
new sense of freedom.

Maybe there’s something you’re afraid to say, or someone you’re afraid to love, or somewhere you’re afraid to go. It’s gonna hurt. It’s gonna hurt because it matters.

John Green

You don’t gain anything from stressing. Remember that.
