Love

"I believe that two people are connected at the heart and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are, or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers. If two people are destined to be together, they will be." - Julia Roberts

"Absence is to love what wind is to fire;
It extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great."

"Sometimes you love, you learn, and you move on. And that's okay."

"You can't just like half of who a person is."

"The only thing really that there is left to do is to forgive and forget.
I want to forgive you, and I want to forget you."

"You have to learn from your mistakes and grow,
and know that if it can happen once, it can happen twice."

"If they're dumb enough to walk away,
be smart enough to let them go."

"You can't live your life for other people, you've got to do what's right for you,
even if it hurts some people that you love." - The Notebook

Life

"You don't have to live forever, you just have to live." - Tuck Everlasting


"You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you.
You have to go to them sometimes."
- Winnie the Pooh


"Yet the feeling went on despite herself, and for a brief moment she felt fifteen again.
Felt as she hadn't in years, as if all her dreams could still come true." - The Notebook


"For the first time in my life I feel like I'm free. Like I could fly if I wanted.
Like I am flying." - Selena


"There's going to be a lot of changes in your life. It's not the changes that matters, 
it's how you react to the changes. That's what makes you who you are." - Boy Meets World

"I’ve made mistakes in my life, I’ve let people take advantage of me and accepted way less than I deserve. But I’ve learned from my bad choices and even though there are some things I can never get back and people who will never be sorry, I’ll know better next time and I won’t settle for anything less than I deserve."


"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when
everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are
the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I
believe in miracles."
- Audrey Hepburn

"What you have to decide is how you want your life to be.
If your forever was ending, would this be how you were spending it?"

I learned it is the weak who are cruel, and that
gentleness is to be expected only from the strong

So this is when we finally learn the real meaning of change. You do the things you used to be against, you date the people you thought you never would, and you befriend the people you used to hate. You'll learn what it's like to have your heart broken, to lose a friend that truly meant something to you, and to feel as if everything is really falling apart. There will be times that your life seems so absolutely horrible it feels like it's not real. Despite all this, good things will come too. You'll make the most amazing friends that will be there for you even when they probably shouldn't. Your broken heart will heal once you find the most perfect guy you've ever met, and just as nothing else can go wrong, things will only get better. There will be the days you are so happy, and the days that you feel like dying. Drama happens, gossip goes around, and people talk crap. Maybe this is just college, maybe it's life, or maybe this is just growing up.

One Tree Hill

BROOKE: And once you lose yourself, you have two choices: find the person you used to be,… or lose that person completely.

MOUTH: Because, sometimes, you have to step outside of the person you’ve been. And remember the person you were meant to be. The person you wanted to be. The person you are.


If having things turn out the way you want them to is a measure of a successful life then some would say I was a failure. The important thing is not to be bitter over life's disappointments. Learn to let go of the past. And recognize that everyday won't be silence and when you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it's only in the black of night that you can see the stars and those stars lead you back home. So don't be afraid to make mistakes, stumble, fall, cause most of the time the greatest rewards come from the things that scare you the most. Maybe you''ll get everything you wish for, maybe you'll get more than you could ever imagine. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end the journey is the destination. - Whitey


"Sometimes you have to step outside the person you've been and remember the person you were meant to be, the person you want to be, the person you are."


"You ever heard the expression 'The best things in live are free.' Well that expression is true.' Every once in a while, people step up they rise above themselves sometimes they surprise you and sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard but if you look close enough, you can find hope in the words of children, in the bars of the song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you're lucky, if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back." – Nathan 


"Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life that you expect it to always be there…because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't. But then one day you feel something else-something that feels wrong, only because it's so unfamiliar. And in that moment you realize…you're happy." 


While trying to grasp the things we desire, the things we think will make
our lives better: money, popularity, fame...we ignore what truly matters,
the simple things like friendship, family and love the things we probably
already had. 


Do whatever makes you happy, but do it now. Live life for the moment
because everything else is uncertain. Take advantage of what is right
in front of you.


"Everyday you wait is another day you can never get back"


"There are moments in our lives
when we find ourselves at a crossroad.


Afraid, confused, without a road map.
The choices we make in those moments
can define the rest of our days
Of course, when faced with the unknown,
most of us prefer to turn around and go back.


But once in a while,
people push on to something better.
Something found just beyond the pain
of going it alone, & just beyond
the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in,
or to give someone a second chance.
Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.


Because it's only when you're tested
that you truly discover who you are.
And it's only when you're tested
that you discover who you can be.


The person you want to be does exist,
somewhere on the other side of
hard work and faith and belief.
And beyond heartache and fear of what lies ahead."



This year I got everything I wanted and everything I wished for.
But in a way I lost even more – Haley


You ever wake up from a really good dream and try to get back to sleep?
Or you go the flu and you promise yourself that you’d appreciate normal so much more if you could just get back to it… that’s the way I feel – Lucas

Sex & the City

we all judge. that`s our hobby.
some people do arts and crafts,
we judge. 

"Somewhere between the bad hangovers and the drunken heart to hearts you realize all you need in life is a few good drinks and a few good friends"

"Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe you have to let go of who you were, to become who you will be."

“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.”

When it comes to relationships, maybe we're all in glass houses, and
shouldn't throw stones. Because you can never really know. Some people
are settling down, some are settling and some people refuse to settle
for anything less than butterflies.

Can you get to your future if your past is present?

Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need
to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with.

I love you, but I love myself more. 

Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you're
pretty sexy and you're taking your time deciding how you want your life
to be and who you want to spend it with. 

You do this every time! Every time! What do you have, some
kind of radar? 'Carrie might be happy, it's time to sweep
in and shit all over it!'



I make mistakes. That's what I do. I speak without thinking, I act without knowing. I drink so much that I can barely walk. I'm a fantastic lover though, and and amazing friend. God knows I mean well. 


When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there's no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?


Maybe all men are a drug. Sometimes they bring you down and sometimes, like now, they get you so high.


Maybe mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the one's you love are always in your heart, and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.


After a while, you just want to be with the one that makes you laugh. 


No matter who broke your heart or how long it takes to heal, you'll never get through it without your friends.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

"i guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. and maybe we’ll never know most of them. but even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. we can still do things. and we can try to feel okay about them."

We accept the love we think we deserve.

You can't just sit there and put everyone's lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can't. You have to do things.


Grey's Anatomy

There's something to be said about a glass half full. About knowing when to say when. I think it's a floating line. A barometer of need and desire. It's entirely up to the individual. And depends on what's being poured. Sometimes all we want is a taste. Other times there's no such thing as enough, the glass is bottomless. And all we want, is more.

Dr. Meredith Grey: Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes to simply be human. Maybe, we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.


Sometimes the past is something you just can't let go of. And sometimes the past is something we'll do anything to forget. And sometimes we learn something new about the past that changes everything we know about the present. 


Izzie: "You can't blame yourself. Some people are just broken. I guess you just try not to care too much and you can't be disappointed."

We deny that we're tired, we deny that we're scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed. And most importantly, we deny that we're in denial. We only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe, and it works. We lie to ourselves so much that after a while the lies start to seem like the truth. We deny so much that we can't recognize the truth right in front of our faces. 

For a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. You want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head, so that when your lips finally touch you feel it everywhere. A kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. You can't cheat your first kiss. Trust me, you don't want to. Cause when you find that right person for a first kiss, it's everything.

You don't get to call me a whore. When I met you, I thought I had found
the person that I was going to spend the rest of my life with. I was done.
So all the boys and all the parties and all the obvious family issues, who
cared, because I was done. You left me. I'm all glued back together now. I
make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke. You don't get
to call me a whore.

There are times when even the best of us have trouble with commitment,
and we may be surprised at the commitments we're willing to let slip out
of our grasp. Commitments are complicated. We may surprise ourselves by
the commitments we're willing to make. True commitment takes effort
and sacrifice. Which is why sometimes, we have to learn the hard way, to
choose our commitments very carefully.

At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you
least expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale may
be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well may not be a
castle. And it's not so important that it's happy ever after, just that
it's happy right now. See, once in awhile, once in a blue moon, people will
suprise you. And once in awhile, people may even take your breath away.

You knew what you wanted. You stuck to your guns. You proved that if you
want something bad enough, if you're determined enough, if you're patient
enough, eventually it will happen. And that gives me hope.

If you want crappy things to stop happening to you,
then stop accepting crap and demand something more.

Stop planning your life & let it plan itself. Quit trying to find the perfect boy & let him find you. If you don`t want drama, then don`t talk shit. Things are only as complicated as you make them.

Shantaram

"We live on because we can love, and we love because we can forgive."

"Sooner or later, fate puts us together with all the people, one by one, who show us what we could, and shouldn't, let ourselves become."


"Optimisim is the first cousin of love, and it's exactly like love in three ways; it's pushy, it has no real sense of humour, and it turn s up where you least expect it."

 "Loves are like that. You heart starts to feel like an overcrowded lifeboat. You throw your pride out to keep it afloat, and your self-respect and independence. After a while, you started throwing people out - your friends and everyone you used to know. And it's still not enough. The lifeboat is still sinking, and you know it's going to take down with it. I've seen that happen to a lot of girls. That's why I'm sick of Love."

"For this is what we do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl and smile of the world once more. Think. Act. feel. Add our little consequence to the tides of good and evil that flood and drain the world. Drag our shadowed crosses into the hope of another night. Push our brave hearts into the promise of a new day. With love: the passionate search for truth other than our own. With longing: the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate keeps waiting, we live on. God help us. God forgive us. We live on."


"It's forgiveness that makes us what we are. Without forgiveness, our species would've annihilated itself in endless retributions. Without forgiveness, there would be no history. Without that hope, there would be no art, for every work of art is in some way an act of forgiveness. Without that dream, there would be no love, for every act of love is in some way a promise to forgive. We live on because we can love, and we love because we can forgive."

"We know who we are and define what we are by references to the people we love and our reasons for loving them"



"White face, black heart."


"Do you want to be lonely?" - Tariq


“But I couldn’t respond. My culture had taught me all the wrong things well. So I lay completely still, and gave no reaction at all. But the soul has no culture. The soul has no nations. The soul has no colour or accent or way of life. The soul is forever. The soul is one. And when the heart has its moment of truth and  sorry, the soul can’t be stilled.”


"The wrong thing, for the right reasons."


"Red-lining our lives."


“You can change your life completely with a single thought or a single act of love.”

“No love, is no life.” – Nazeer


“Love, like respect, isn’t something you get; it’s something you give.”


“Who we fight for, who we fight against. That is life.”
