Quotes

“Deciding whether or not to trust a person is like deciding whether or not to climb a tree, because you might get a wonderful view from the highest branch, or you might simply get covered in sap, and for this reason many people choose to spend their time alone and indoors where it is harder to get a splinter.” ~ Lemony Snicket “If you want to write, if you want to create, you must be the most sublime fool that God ever turned out and sent rambling. You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a wrestling match with your Creative Muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories — science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.” ~ Ray Bradbury

"You ought to spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself and a little less time trying to impress people." ~ The Breakfast Club

“I’ve been making a list of the things they don’t teach you at school. They don’t teach you how to love somebody. They don’t teach you how to be famous. They don’t teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don’t teach you how to walk away from someone you don’t love any longer. They don’t teach you how to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind. They don’t teach you what to say to someone who’s dying. They don’t teach you anything worth knowing.”~ Neil Gaiman
“The tendency nowadays to wander in wildernesses is delightful to see. Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.” ~ John Muir

"Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps… perhaps…love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath." ~ L.M. Montgomery

"This is how it works. I love the people in my life, and I do for my friends whatever they need me to do for them, again and again, as many times as is necessary. For example, in your case you always forgot who you are and how much you’re loved. So what I do for you as your friend is remind you who you are and tell you how much I love you. And this isn’t any kind of burden for me, because I love who you are very much. Every time I remind you, I get to remember with you, which is my pleasure." ~ James Lecesne

"To live would be an awfully big adventure." ~ Peter Pan

"All good things are wild and free." ~ Henry David Thoreau

"Life's not made up of things that must be lost or won. But you can live that way if that's what you call fun." ~ Nana Grizol

"The world is a small town." ~ Unknown

"Forget them, Wendy, forget them all. Come with me, we will never, never have to worry grown-up things again." ~ Peter Pan

"'If I were you, I'd give up!' 'If you were me, I'd be ugly.'" ~ Peter Pan

"I may be weak, Your spirit's strong in me. My flesh may fail, my God you never will." ~ Elevation Worship

"There is indeed good and there is indeed evil, and both walk the earth. But good has little to do with the forms of religion, and evil had little to do with so much behavior condemned by religion. Both good and evil vie for the passions of the heart. For love! For Solomon's song of romance and desire. Love is God's gift to creation. And evil contests with this same love with bitter rage, to be loved as God is surely loved." ~ Immanuel's Veins by Ted Dekker

"Basically what we have here is a dreamer. Someone out of touch with reality. When she jumped, she probably thought she'd fly." ~ Jefferey Eugenides

"I find it hard to believe you don't know the beauty you are, but if you don't, let me be your eyes." ~ The Velvet Underground

"Here is the small truth

hidden between the drops of dancing rain:

it was always everything

it will ever be nothing at all.

I would kiss the clouds if I could,

leaden with water as they are,

for the taste of perpetuity." ~ Unknown

"But for now we are young, let us lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing we can see." ~ Neutral Milk Hotel
