Expect anything from anyone, the devil was once an angel.

It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things.
- Lemony Snicket

I sit and wait; does an angel contemplate my fate? And do they know the places where we go when we're grey and old? 'Cause I've been told that salvation lets their wings unfold. So when I'm lying in my bed, thoughts running through my head and I feel thatlove is dead; I'm loving angels instead. 

There's that one moment, the moment when you've figured out howmuch you've really let go, and how much you've grown. It's thatmoment when you can't look back, yet you can't seem to look too farinto the future. It's that moment when you realize that you're livingfor yourself and no one else.

You will never fall in love the same way twice.

Pain makes people change

How did we have it all? How did we have everything we wanted and then even more? We had each other. But no, that didn't satisfy us. We're now strangers. No, not strangers. We have a past. We'll never be strangers. 

Stories never really end,
even if the books like to pretend
they do. Stories always go on. They
don't end on the last page, any
more than they begin on the first page.

Be careful of the people you love when you are young.
Someday an old lady will take your place,
and your whole life will become her memories.

Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish it.

After all these years, I am still 
involved in the process of self-discovery. 
It's better to explore life and make 
mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes 
are part of the dues one pays for a full life. 

When the sky is falling from above you,
And the wind is raging from the coast
And you want someone who truly loves you
I will be the one who loves you the most.

Here's a toast. To the good days, the best of friends. The ones that you just can't live without. The people that have taught you how to party. How to live. How to have a good time just sitting around. Here are to the people that no matter how bad things seem, are going to be there for you. To lean back on and catch you if you fall. 

It's taken me awhile, but I'm learning that letting go of the past is a good thing. It doesn't mean forgetting, it just means moving on. 

She doesn't worry, if she wants it she'll get it on her own. She knows there's more to life, and she's scared of ending up alone.

Forget all the reasons it won't work, and believe in the one reason why it will.

Mistakes are proof that you are trying.

Sometimes the only way to stay sane is to go a little crazy.

Expect nothing and you'll be surprised of something.

They say forgive and forget. But I think if someone is worth forgiving, they're worth remembering.

There’s always going to be this one thing you wish for but never get. That one mistake you wish you can erase but can never take back. And most of all, that one memory you would do anything for, just to have it again.

It was the best thing anyone had ever said to me and it was the best for one reason: I felt exactly the same way. The person who loved me like this was the person I loved back; which can feel like an absolute miracle. It is an absolute miracle.

Difference between mind & heart: your mind tells you what the smart thing to do. Your heart tells you what you’re gonna do anyway.

There are some things in this world you rely on, like a sure bet. And when they let you down, shifting from where you've carefully placed them, it shakes your faith, right where you stand.

I've been running around for the past year trying to find some clarity. And all of a sudden, it's so clear. I just want to be with you. 

It is never too late to realize what is important in your life and fight for it. 

Sometimes I think that we waste our words, we waste our moments and we don't take the time to say the things that are in our hearts when we have the chance. 

There'll always be that first true love. The one you first spent the night crying for. The one that never really worked out but you kept your hopes up too much. The one who got away. The one who taught you all you need to know about love. And the one that until now, is still the one you look back to whenever you try to love again. 

distance has widened and new things have grown in place. nothing is really forgotten, but at this point, it's fluid. it's taken me long to encourage myself to stop wishing for a return or sincere apology, to just let you go and hold the hand that's here.

if you think you've found the right person, stop the search and never let them go. remember that the world is a huge place and when you lose someone, you have to search the world all over again. 

do you know the most surprising thing about heartache? it doesn't actually kill you. like a bullet to the heart, or a head-on car wreck, it should. when someone you've promised to cherish forever says, "i never loved you," it should kill you instantly. you shouldn't have to wake up day after day after that, trying to understand how in the world you didn't know. 

if a girl cries for a boy, she really loved him. but if a boy cries for a girl, nobody will ever love that girl the way he did.

The ones depressed don't dress in black. The ones who
believe they're fat don't announce it. The ones scared don't
scream. The ones struggling don't show their scars. The
ones hurting the most are the ones hidden.

You and I will meet again, when we're least expecting it. One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face. I won't say goodbye, my friend, for you and I will meet again.
-- You and I Will Meet Again | Tom Petty --
 

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt.
Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates
friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn
that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.

"The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else. . .and that makes you unique."

I keep reaching for something that's already gone.

It's when you hold eye contact for that second too long or maybe the way you laugh. It sets off a flash, and our memories take a picture of who we are at that point when we first know "this is love." And we clutch that picture to our hearts because we expect each other to always be the people in that picture. But people change. People aren't pictures. And you can either take a new picture, or throw the old one away.

Life is too short to waste your time, energy and love on a fucking asshole.
-Dane Cook

The essence of life is not being perfect, impressing people, or succeeding at everything. The essence of life is simply making mistakes and learning from them, surrounding yourself with people that love you when you're being yourself, and getting through the failures so that you can continue improving.

"This life is less than an infinitely divided fraction of a blink of an eye."

The opposite sex is the most dangerous and most addictive drug out there but the high is unlike anything else

“One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.” 

Next time someone says "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me" I'm gonna throw the dictionary at them

The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.

Life always offers you a second chance. Its called tomorrow. The past cannot be changed, forgotten,edited, or erased.It can only be accepted

So what happens once you lose control? When the future has to start. What happens when you're still in love, but time rips you apart.

Everybody just keeps on moving on in this crazy, messed up world. That's all you can do anyways. You keep smiling, you keep moving, you just keep on living. Cause who knows, you might just be the only thing keeping somebody else from stopping. You might be someone's everything and not even know it. If you stop moving, what's to keep them from stopping too?

you can recall the creases caused by
the smile on a loved one's lips or the way
the tears crept to your eyes. but pain is
hard to put into words and in life there
is always pain. it is as natural as birth
or death. pain makes us who we are, it teaches
us and tames us, it can destroy and save us.
when it happens, it takes our breath away.

I've learned that when it hurts
too much inside your heart, it always
has a way of showing, no matter how
many masks you wear

Memory is an abstract painting.
It doesn't present things as how they
are, but rather as how they feel.
Do not look back and grieve
over the past for it is gone, and
do not be troubled about the future
for it has not come. Live in the
present and make it so beautiful
that it will be worth remembering.

When someone leaves, someone
else is about to arrive. Freedom
isn't the absence of commitment
but the ability to choose and
commit yourself to what's best for you

"There are split seconds in the morning between waking and sleep when you know nothing. Not just things like missing who or where you are, but nothing. The fact of being alive has no substance. No awareness of skin and bone, the trap inside the skull. For these split seconds, you hover in thesky like Icarus. Then, you remember."

Just when we thought that we're already matured, unexpected events would occur to make us realize we still have lots of growing up to do.

Hearing something that kills you inside and having to act like you’re fine is one of the bravest thing in this world.

I find it really weird that the person you are going to marry is walking the Earth right now and you may have seen them somewhere in the past but they were a stranger to you at that moment in time

You can take your bullshit and walk out the damn door, cause I'm sure as hell not going to take it anymore

And you dropped the note and we changed key. You changed yourself and I changed me. I really didn't see us singing through this. Ten you screamed the bridge and I cried the verse and our chorus came out unrehearsed. And you smiled the whole way through it; I guess maybe that's what's worse. 

We humans have two great problems:
First is knowing when to start,
and second is knowing when to stop

The best advice that I could give is
just to keep moving forward and don't
give a shit what anybody thinks, you know.
Just keep moving forward and do what
you have to do for you.
++Johnny Depp

Someday someone is going to look
at you with a light in their eyes you've
never seen, they'll look at you like
you're everything they've been looking
for their entire lives. Wait for it.

We're all in the game, just different levels; dealing with the same hell, just different devil

When I stand before God at the end of my life,
 I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left.
I would hope that I could say, “I used everything you gave me.”

-- Emma Bombeck --

The first step towards getting somewhere is… to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.

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 within.

To be one, to be united is a great thing.
But, to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.
