We live and learn, and we crash and burn, and we're gone. we take what we know, and we learn as we go, and we run.

I used to hate this town. I used to hate every single blade of grass on every hill, but he taught me so much. He taught me that it's not the job of this town to make me feel happy. It's not its fault that I don't fit in. It doesn't matter where you are in the world, because it's about where you are in your head. It's about the other world I inhabit. The world of dreams, hope, imagination, and memories. - Cecila Ahern, If You Could See Me Now

A stumble may prevent a fall.  ~English Proverb

Pay no mind to those who talk behind your back, it simply means that you are two steps ahead.

That we all emerge from the same point is a misconception, to travel in different directions is the very nature of every being and every existing thing. -Cecila Ahern, If You Could See Me Now

We all stub our toes, we all have people who don't love us enough. There are all kinds of suffering; life is a bunch of suffering. There are a lot of other things too, of course, but we all suffer. -Tim O'Brien

Life had gone on. It always did. That's what you learned as you got older. Time. It kept moving. You couldn't stop it. You couldn't go back to the moments you wished you could change. They were gone. They left you in a snap. -Lee Martin, The Bright Forever

This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes. It's a universal truth. But the good part is, you get to decide how you're gonna mess it up. - Marilyn Monroe
