I also believe that when people are going through difficult situations in life... it causes them to search a lot more. They search life and search their soul. When you’re searching, you’re suddenly a lot more open to the world around you, to the possibilities, to things you never thought about before. – When you’re happy, you don’t question the world so much. When you’re lost, you question everything. The very reason why it is so essential to human self-discovery.
I know the difference between right and wrong. I understand the rules. But today I feel that the rules have been blurred, because today they were literally on my front doorstep.
You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you’re doing, where you are, who you’re with, and if you’re OK. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and who can protect you from your fears.
Never trust a man who sits, uninvited, at the head of the table in another man’s home.
We see being Flawed as a strength, Celestine. If you make a mistake, you learn from it. If you never make a mistake, you’re never the wiser. These so-called perfect leaders we have now have never made a mistake. How can they have learned what’s right and wrong, how could they have learned anything about themselves? About what they feel comfortable doing, about what they feel is beyond the scope of their character? The more mistake you have made, the more you have learned.
You are a circus act all of your own and I cannot help but be your audience.
I can’t be afraid of someone whose human side I see and know.
Silent people hold a magic and a knowledge that less contained people lack; that their not saying something means that more important thoughts are going on inside their head. Perhaps their seeming simplicity belies a hidden mosaic of fanciful thoughts.
People come and people go and we know this happens, yet we get such a shock when it does.
I told you I’d find you.
And sometimes when you witness a miracle it makes you believe that anything is possible.
I am hungry for something to do, somewhere to go.
I am a girl of definitions, of logic, of black and white.
Most people go in bookshops and have no idea what they want to buy. Somehow, the books sit there, almost magically willing people to pick them up. The right person for the right book. It’s as though they already know whose life they need to be a part of, how they can make a difference, how they can teach a lesson, put a smile on a face at just the right time...
She felt relieved to have known him, to love him and to be loved by him, and relief that the last thing he saw was her face smiling down on him, encouraging him and assuring him it was OK to let go.
If you make a mistake, you learn from it. If you never make a mistake, you’re never the wiser. These.
If you have to say something, you have to say it now. And now more importantly, you have to do it yourself. It’s your life, you’re the one who dies, you’re the one who loses it.
When people are kids they use their parents as some sort of measurement for how bad a situation is. When you fall on the ground really hard and you can’t figure out whether it hurts or not you look to your parents. If they look worried and rush towards you, you cry. If they laugh and smack the ground saying, ‘Bold ground,’ then you pick yourself up and get on with it.
When it comes to my memory there are three categories: things I want to forget, things I can’t forget, and things I’d forgotten until I remember them.
Good girls always come second.
