Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.
– Henry Ford
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It’s not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
– Marianne Williamson
Never love anyone who treats you like you’re ordinary.
– Oscar Wilde
When we live, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

Love is the whole thing. We are only pieces.

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory.

You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.

Ethics is nothing other than Reverence for Life. Reverence for Life affords me my fundamental principle of morality, namely, that good consists in maintaining, assisting and enhancing life, and to destroy, to harm or to hinder life is evil.
– Albert Schweitzer
Who What am I? My answer: I am the sum total of everything that went before me, of all I have been seen done, of everything done-to-me. I am everyone everything whose being-in-the-world affected was affected by mine. I am anything that happens after I’ve gone which would not have happened if I had not come.
– Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children
And indeed there will be time
For the yellow smoke that slides along the street,
Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;
There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands
That lift and drop a question on your plate;
Time for you and time for me,
And time yet for a hundred indecisions,
And for a hundred visions and revisions,
Before the taking of a toast and tea.
– T.S.Eliot, an excerpt from “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”
It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone… but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
― Khalil Gibran
For everyone is pained by the thought disappearing, unheard and unseen, into an indifferent universe, and because of that everyone wants, while there is still time, to turn himself into a universe of words. One morning (and it will be soon), when everyone wakes up as a writer, the age of universal deafness and incomprehension will have arrived.
– Milan Kundera, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
– T.S.Eliot, an excerpt from “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”
The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.
– Samuel Johnson
He who cannot rest, cannot work;
He who cannot let go, cannot hold on;
He who cannot find his footing, cannot go forward.
– Harry Emerson Fosdick
