Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

Leonardo da Vinci

Celebrate who you are in your deepest heart. Love yourself and the world will love you.

Amy Leigh Mercree

A night, a street, a lamp, a drugstore
A meaningless and dismal light
A quarter century outpours -
It’s all the same. No chance to flight.

You’d die and rise anew, begotten.
All would repeat as ever might:
The street, the icy rippled water,
The store, the lamp, the lonely night.

Be with someone who knows what they have when they have you. You don't need too many people to be happy. Just a few real ones who appreciate you for who you are.

Always be kinder than you feel.

People who believe they’ll be happy if they go and live somewhere else, learn it doesn’t work that way. Wherever you go, you take yourself with you.

Neil Gaiman

A long time ago I learned not to explain things to people. It misleads them into thinking they’re entitled to know everything I do.

Lisa Kleypas

It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them.

George Eliot

I do not believe anyone can be perfectly well, who has a brain and a heart.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives.

Lemony Snicket

Do you wait for things to happen, or do you make them happen yourself? I believe in writing your own story.
