You cannot force things apart that are bound at the heart.

It might be depressing, but it's also the truth that no one has the power, the money, or the resources to save everyone on the planet from going hungry, living in poverty or allowed basic human rights. But consider the other side of this: there are people in this world who truly WOULD do all of these things for everyone if only they could. There is hope after all.

What you should actually be trying to figure out is how to tell your story. The one that is every bit as unique to you as your fingerprints.This is the truly amazing feat because you are literally the only person capable of doing that. Only you know all the parts to your story and only you can pass it on for others to hear if you choose to.

The fact of the matter is that you should really stop concerning yourself with writing a book because anyone can write a book that totally sucks. There is nothing special about that.

Love is an awfully personal thing for most of us, so why isn't hate?

If you're going to do something, strive to do it better than anyone else. Do it all the way. If you're going to half-ass it, why bother?

I have been known to think outside of all rules. Even my own.

I don't possess these thoughts I have --- they possess me. I don't possess these feelings I have --- They obsess me.

A selfless act out of even the purest desire to do for others, will be selfish in the satisfaction and happiness it brings to one doing it.

People accuse me of falling in love easily. It just means that I'm able to see the beauty in most of the people who cross paths with me and I appreciate it for what it is and also for what it isn't. Love is imperfect. Falling for someone's flaws is just as necessary as falling for their strengths. And people like myself, who fall into love easily, are sometimes the loneliest souls around at the end of the day.

The parts of me that hurt the worst want me to write something for them, but I can't. I don't know what to say. I'm lost in all this sadness, and so are they.

I'm pretty lost in becoming all this frost. Bitter, like Winter. Strung-out like a string of pearls.

Most of the pain we feel is nothing more than a story that needs telling.

Don't be scared of scars. They just tell stories that are hard to hear.

I think there were times when I was so afraid of losing you that I forgot I even had you at all.

Dogs are how people would be if the important stuff is all that mattered to us.

While it's true that I am guided in life by my feelings and emotions, that certainly does NOT mean that I trust them.Emotions are reactions to things based on all of a person's prior experiences and we forget sometimes just how limited those are.

Anything that lights your world leaves it dark once it's gone.
