| 7335197 | The difference we wanna make is number one to let these kids know that they're not alone, that they're actually not that messed up and that they can do whatever they want; they can express themselves however they want, without being persecuted or called a faggot or some kind of racist thing. You know, really just to get people to get over their stuff so they can live. | inspirational | Gerard Way | |
| 6d7278e | Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better. | happiness life inspirational rejection | Steve Maraboli | |

| bfb6bf3 | God will answer you prayers better than you think. Of course, one will not always get exactly what he has asked for....We all have sorrows and disappointments, but one must never forget that, if commended to God, they will issue in good....His own solution is far better than any we could conceive. | prayer spiritual inspirational christian | Fanny J. Crosby | |
| b3f935c | Do not act as if you had ten thousand years to throw away. Death stands at your elbow. Be good for something while you live and it is in your power. | goodness death inspirational charity help | Marcus Aurelius | |
| bb94bd0 | Anyone who is steady in his determination for the advanced stage of spiritual realization and can equally tolerate the onslaughts of distress and happiness is certainly a person eligible for liberation. | eastern-philosophy spirituality religious inspirational hindu | A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada | |
| e65b0d4 | It is true that I do not speak as well as I can think. But that is true of most people, as nearly as I can tell. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||

| d60f717 | Have you any idea how much my kingdom has swollen in this past century alone, how many subdivisions I've had to open?" I opened my mouth to respond, but Hades was on a roll now. More security ghouls," he moaned. "Traffic problems at the judgment pavilion. Double overtime for the staff. I used to be a rich god, Percy Jackson. I control all the precious metals under the earth. But my expenses!" Charon wants a pay raise," I blurted, just remem.. | percy-jackson hades | Rick Riordan | |
| 51543a7 | He climbed up behind Hazel. Arion took off across the water, the nymphs screaming behind them, and Narcissus shouting, "Bring me back! Bring me back!" As Arion raced towards the Argo II, Leo remembered what Nemesis had said about Echo and Narcissus: Perhaps they'll teach you a lesson. Leo had thought she'd meant Narcissus, but now he wondered if the real lesson for him was Echo--invisible to her brethren, cursed to love someone who didn't c.. | the-mark-of-athena | Rick Riordan | |
| 3e154f0 | Losing you is most difficult for me, but the nature of my love for you is what matters. If it distorts into half-truth, then perhaps it is better not to love you. I must keep my mind but loose you. | love | Haruki Murakami | |
| ad77b98 | Kindness and a caring mind are two separate qualities. Kindness is manners. It is superficial custom, an acquired practice. Not so the mind. The mind is deeper, stronger, and, I believe, it is far more inconstant. | world hard-boiled wonderland | Haruki Murakami | |
| ba6234f | When the shadow of the sash appeared on the curtains it was between seven and eight o' clock and then I was in time again, hearing the watch. It was Grandfather's and when Father gave it to me he said I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire; it's rather excruciating-ly apt that you will use it to gain the reducto absurdum of all human experience which can fit your individual needs no better than it fitted his or his father's. I give.. | William Faulkner | ||
| be05c36 | The heaventree of stars hung with humid nightblue fruit. | James Joyce | ||
| d9546b3 | They can't tell so much about you if you got your eyes closed. | philosophy wisdom | Ken Kesey | |
| f2b4c78 | In a rabbit-fear I may hurl myself under the wheels of the car because the lights terrify me, and under the dark blind death of wheels I will be safe. I am very tired, very banal, very confused. I do not know who I am tonight. I wanted to walk until I dropped and not complete the inevitable circle of coming home. | Sylvia Plath | ||
| 0f7984d | You're really not right, are you? Yeah, I know. It was all the paint chips I ate as a kid. They were good, but chromosomally damaging. (Nick) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 1a03ac6 | I think love is stronger than habits or circumstances. I think it is possible to keep yourself for someone for a long time and still remember why you were waiting when she comes at last. | Peter S. Beagle | ||
| 0b30374 | Thomas Merton wrote, "there is always a temptation to diddle around in the contemplative life, making itsy-bitsy statues." There is always an enormous temptation in all of life to diddle around making itsy-bitsy friends and meals and journeys for itsy-bitsy years on end. It is so self-conscious, so apparently moral, simply to step aside from the gaps where the creeks and winds pour down, saying, I never merited this grace, quite rightly, an.. | seeing nature spirituality landscape | Annie Dillard | |
| 309a916 | Love is not love which alters it when alteration finds, or bends with the remover to remove: O no! It is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken; it is the star to every wandering bark whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come: Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, but bears it out, even to the edge of doom.. | romantic love constancy poetic | William Shakespeare | |
| 86cd77c | This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune,--often the surfeit of our own behavior,--we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars: as if we were villains by necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion; knaves, thieves, and treachers, by spherical predominance; drunkards, liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrustin.. | William Shakespeare | ||
| 22da6ae | Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise. | William Shakespeare | ||
| 1d4cb61 | I'll just ask now: What is it about my persona that draws every insane, power-hungry nutcase to me like a magnet? | James Patterson | ||
| 62e32ac | When love first happens, the individuals are giving each other energy unconsciously and both people feel buoyant and elated. That's the incredible high we call being 'in love.' Unfortunately, once they expect this feeling to come from another person, they cut themselves off from the energy in the universe and begin to rely even more on the energy from each other--only now there doesn't seem to be enough and so they stop giving each other en.. | love | James Redfield | |
| 0473c38 | The weird, weird thing about devastating loss is that life actually goes on. When you're faced with a tragedy, a loss so huge that you have no idea how you can live through it, somehow, the world keeps turning, the seconds keep ticking. | grief loss | James Patterson | |
| 24bda35 | I'm a freaking princess when it comes to other people's feelings. Yo dogbreath, get your paws of the everglades. -Max | school-s-out-forever | James Patterson | |
| 124162c | I learned to recognise the thorough and primitive duality of man; I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, it was only because I was radically both. | Robert Louis Stevenson | ||
| 35676ac | Happiness is found in doing, not merely possessing. | Napoleon Hill | ||
| 3758a53 | Most civilisation is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame. | civilisation law cowardice | Frank Herbert | |
| adeff9e | These days, Clarissa believes, you measure people first by their kindness and their capacity for devotion. You get tired, sometimes, of wit and intellect; everybody's little display of genius. | Michael Cunningham | ||
| ef3c2f0 | Moderation? It's mediocrity, fear, and confusion in disguise. It's the devil's dilemma. It's neither doing nor not doing. It's the wobbling compromise that makes no one happy. Moderation is for the bland, the apologetic, for the fence-sitters of the world afraid to take a stand. It's for those afraid to laugh or cry, for those afraid to live or die. Moderation...is lukewarm tea, the devil's own brew. | Dan Millman (Author) | ||
| 773a1b5 | It was his subconscious which told him this---that infuriating part of a person's brain which never responds to interrogation, merely gives little meaningful nudges and then sits humming quietly to itself, saying nothing. | Douglas Adams | ||
| 5e9901b | What course am I to take?" "Towards danger; but not too rashly, nor too straight." | J.R.R. Tolkien | ||
| 2702530 | Fear prophets, Adso, and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them. | religion prophets | Umberto Eco | |
| b0a2bd5 | Emotion is contagious. | Malcolm Gladwell | ||
| 5f0a4f0 | Nations are not communities and never have been. The history of any country, presented as the history of a family, conceals the fierce conflicts of interest (sometimes exploding, often repressed) between conquerors and conquered, masters and slaves, capitalists and workers, dominators and dominated in race and sex. And in such as world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, as Albert Camus sugges.. | Howard Zinn | ||
| 4308a53 | Love, too, has to be learned. | love | Friedrich Nietzsche | |
| 1910df4 | He felt his heart pounding fiercely in his chest. How strange that in his dread of death, it pumped all the harder, valiantly keeping him alive. But it would have to stop, and soon. Its beats were numbered. How many would there be time for, as he rose and walked through the castle for the last time, out into the grounds and into the forest? | J.K. Rowling | ||
| cea11c5 | Things could change, Gabe," Jonas went on. "Things could be different. I don't know how, but there must be some way for things to be different. There could be colors. And grandparents," he added, staring through the dimness toward the ceiling of his sleepingroom. "And everybody would have the memories." "You know the memories," he whispered, turning toward the crib. Garbriel's breathing was even and deep. Jonas liked having him there, thoug.. | love gabriel | Lois Lowry | |
| 4196534 | It's possible to pretend I'm someone other than who I am, and if I pretend long enough, I can believe it. | Libba Bray | ||
| 2be60fb | Maybe we should always assume the worst. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 3f6ae0a | My Heart Is Afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky. "Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams." | Paulo Coelho | ||
