We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine.
Eduardo Hughes Galeano
Promises and pie-crusts are made to be broken.
Jonathan Swift
To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest.
Pema Chodron
I finally figured out that I’m solitary by nature, but at the same time I know so many people; so many people think they own a piece of me. They shift and move under my skin, like a parade of memories that simply won’t go away. It doesn’t matter where I am, or how alone—I always have such a crowded head.
Charles de Lint
If you don’t get what you want, it’s a sign either that you did not seriously want it, or that you tried to bargain over the price.
Rudyard Kipling
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.
Roald Dahl
Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes.
W. Gibson
For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
Benjamin Button
Life isn’t divided into genres. It’s a horrifying, romantic, tragic, comical, science-fiction cowboy detective novel. You know, with a bit of pornography if you’re lucky.
Alan Moore
The world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters. We’ve all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.
Sirius Black
