We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.
Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.
Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.
The more I see, the less I know for sure.
Don't waste your time with explanations: people only hear what they want to hear.
Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?
Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you'll live forever in your own private library.
How nice -- to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive.
When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.
The trouble is if you don’t spend your life yourself, other people spend it for you.

I like flaws. I think they make things interesting.
They say I'm old-fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast!

After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
"You owe me."
Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.

Sometimes it takes a good fall to really know where you stand
- Hayley Williams
No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well...maybe chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten.

I live in my own little world. But its ok, they know me here.
- Lauren Myracle
In everybody’s life there’s a point of no return. And in a very few cases, a point where you can’t go forward anymore. And when we reach that point, all we can do is quietly accept the fact. That’s how we survive.
And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered. But most of all, I learned that life is about sitting on benches next to ancient creeks with my hand on her knee and sometimes, on good days, for falling in love.
To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it.

[H]iding how you really feel and trying to make everyone happy doesn't make you nice, it just makes you a liar.

Do not despise your own place and hour. Every place is under the stars, every place is the center of the world.
- John Burroughs

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
- Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
Man is a mystery. It needs to be unravelled, and if you spend your whole life unravelling it, don't say that you've wasted time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a human being.
It all goes away. Eventually, everything goes away.
We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.
