Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn’t know before you learned it.

Maya Angelou

Bury your past. Let flowers grow where you lay.

I have a lot more patience for others than I have for myself, and I'm much better at bringing out the best in others than myself. That's just the kind of person I am.

Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught falsehoods in school. And the person that dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool.

Plato

I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between.

Sylvia Plath

Your memory is a monster; it summons with will of its own. You think you have a memory, but it has you.

John Irving

Close some doors today. Not because of pride, incapacity, or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere.

Paulo Coelho

I want enough time to be in love with everything.

Marina Keegan

Oh shut up. Every time it rains, it stops raining. Every time you hurt, you heal. After darkness, there is always light and you get reminded of this every morning but still you choose to believe that the night will last forever. Nothing lasts forever. Not the good or the bad. So you might as well smile while you're here.

I've always found that the most beautiful people, truly beautiful inside and out, are the ones who are quietly unaware of their effect.

Jennifer L. Armentrout, Obsidian

As long as we don't die, this is gonna be one hell of a story.

John Green

Why didn't I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future.

Jonathan Safran Foer

If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too. Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.

T. Harv Eker

May you all be blessed with the smell of old books and coffee today🌞❤️☕️😌

Being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared. Being brave means you are scared, really scared, badly scared, and you do the right thing anyway.

Neil Gaiman, Coraline

You get a strange feeling when you’re about to leave a place. Like you’ll not only miss the people you love but you’ll miss the person you are now at this time and this place because you’ll never be this way ever again.

Azar Nafisi

There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt: swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you’re miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe… and you.
