Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover

Mark Twain

What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year.

Vern McLellan

One problem with gazing too frequently into the past is that we may turn around to find the future has run out on us. 

-Michael Cibenko

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this — To rise above the little things.
John Burroughs

“When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself.”
 - Paulo Coelho 

“When someone leaves, it's because someone else is about to arrive.”  

- Paulo Coelho

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”

I have been astonished that men could die martyrs for their religion - I have shudder'd at it. I shudder no more. I could be martyr'd for my religion. Love is my religion And I could die for that. I could die for you

- John Keats

"Three months ago, if you asked me, I would have told you that if you really loved someone, you'd let them go. But now I look at you, and I dream about her, and I see that I've been wrong. If you really love someone, I think you have to take them back."-Jodi Picoult
"You have enemies? Good, that means you stood up for something." 

- Eminem
"Losers aren't the people who don't win, losers are people who are so afraid of not winning, they don't even try."-Little Miss Sunshine

Live with no excuses and love with no regrets

- Montel

I've learned that things change, people change, and it doesn't mean you forget the past or try to cover it up. It simply means that you move on and treasure the memories. Letting go doesn't mean giving up... it means accepting that some things weren't meant to be."

- Lisa Brooks

"Everything is okay in the end, if it's not ok, then it's not the end."

' When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place '

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

Never tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

If you don't make mistakes, you aren't really trying.

- Coleman Hawking

Every great achievement was once considered impossible.

You've got to follow your passion. You've got to figure out what it is you love--who you really are. And have the courage to do that. I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.

- Oprah Winfrey

Some quotes

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It's just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.

Paulo Coelho

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

 

It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return.
But what is more painful is to love someone and never
find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

 A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who
means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was
never meant to be and you just have to let go.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose
it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been
missing until it arrives.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an
hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it
takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,
be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best
of everything they just make the most of everything that comes

along their way.

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

- Dr. Seuss

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us.

- Alexander Graham Bell

• • 
    I remember the way he shone all those months ago; his sun-baked, honey-bread golden skin, his emerald bright eyes, his candy-apple red, turned up lips, raven wing hair and winking lashes. He took over the room until it collapsed around him. Not even the sky could box him in. He towered over the sun and when the moon came up he exploded into a thousand blinking lights which scattered across the sky and called themselves stars. I could see nothing but his eyes. They swallowed me whole, sticky breath and all. I was digested by his presence. That was July.

Even if you think the flame has died, there's a least one lyric that'll hit that last hot spot, and then you'll find yourself as fucked as you were the day you lied and said you never wanted to see him again. - John Mayer
