| 030af73 | I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. | inspirational | Michael jordan | |

| 07075df | Do you know how sometimes - when you are riding your bike and you start skidding across sand, or when you miss a step and start tumbling down the stairs - you have those long, long seconds to know that you are going to be hurt, and badly? | foreboding | Jodi Picoult | |

| 2d18b3a | And I don't see how Sebastian can be all that fond of Jace, either. He was horribly jealous of him all his life. He thought Jace was Valentine's favorite," added Clary. "Not to mention," Magnus noted, "that Jace killed him. That would put anyone off." | sebastian-morgenstern magnus-bane | Cassandra Clare | |
| d11e607 | Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half. | politics hope american-ts educated-voters political-education vote elections americans | Gore Vidal | |
| 46969bf | What was it that made this human love so much more desirable to me than the love of my own kind? Was it because it was exclusive and capricious? The souls offered love and acceptance to all. Did I crave a greater challenge?...Or was it simply better somehow? Because these humans hate with so much fury, was the other end of the spectrum that they could love with more heart and zeal and fire? | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 0de25c3 | We just did an awesome job of not dying. | good-job surviving | John Green | |
| e4563e9 | E.L. Doctorow said once said that 'Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.' You don't have to see where you're going, you don't have to see your destination or everything you will pass along the way. You just have to see two or three feet ahead of you. This is right up there with the best advice on writing, or life, I have ever heard. | writing life inspirational | Anne Lamott | |
| 10b13d9 | Prayer is a relationship; half the job is mine. If I want transformation, but can't even be bothered to articulate what, exactly, I'm aiming for, how will it ever occur? Half the benefit of prayer is in the asking itself, in the offering of a clearly posed and well-considered intention. If you don't have this, all your pleas and desires are boneless, floppy, inert; they swirl at your feet in a cold fog and never lift. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||

| d417512 | All I ask is one thing, and I'm asking this particularly of young people: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism, for the record, it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen. | happiness inspirational cynicism | Conan O'Brien | |
| 4731d44 | Just remember that sometimes, the way you think about a person isn't the way they actually are... People are different when you can smell them and see them up close... | John Green | ||

| c4ca40a | I believe everything happens for a reason. Whether it is decided by the Mother, or the Cauldron, or some sort of tapestry of Fate, I don't know. I don't really care. But I am grateful for it, whatever it is. Grateful that it brought you all into my life. If it hadn't... I might have become as awful as that prick we're going to face today.

Maas | |
| 2c13710 | Augustus Waters," I said, looking up at him, thinking that you cannot kiss anyone in the Anne Frank House, and then thinking that Anne Frank, after all, kissed someone in the Anne Frank House, and that she would probably like nothing more than for her home to have become a place where the young and irreparably broken sink into love." | John Green | ||

| 0561e32 | I have no right to say or do anything that diminishes a man in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him but what he thinks of himself. Hurting a man in his dignity is a crime. | relationships inspirational self-worth | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | |

| 3f06b49 | I know the night is not the same as the day: that all things are different, that the things of the night cannot be explained in the day, because they do not then exist, and the night can be a dreadful time for lonely people once their loneliness has started. | Ernest Hemingway | ||

| cad7544 | I felt, that night, on that stage, under that skull, incredibly close to everything in the universe, but also extremely alone.

| d9c05f2 | Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college. And I realize some of you may be having trouble deciding whether I am kidding or not. So from now on I will tell you when I'm kidding. For instance, join the National Guard or the Marines and teach democracy. I'm kidding. We are about to be attacked by Al Q.. | writing humor creative-process | Kurt Vonnegut | |
