“If you walk in with the cocky attitude, big chances that you will walk out quickly with out golden ticket. It’s ok to have confidence, not so ok to be full of yourself.”

“The power of a word depends upon the emotion and the definition you give it.”

“Dingen die eenmaal weg zijn, kunnen niet teruggehaald worden, dat wist hij nu wel. Een klap, eenmaal uitgedeeld, kan niet worden ingetrokken. Woorden, eenmaal uitgesproken, kunnen niet onuitgesproken worden gemaakt. We mogen verdergaan alsof er niets verloren, niets gedaan, niets gezegd is, we mogen beweren het allemaal te vergeten, maar ons diepste wezen vergeet niet, omdat we voor altijd veranderd zijn.”

“IF” is our fear and “BUT” is our laziness.”

“I am 23 and I am learning what it means to be an artist, for I am not an artist, because it takes life and a life lived well, to the limit, to see the patterns in storms, but I am 23 and I am learning. I am learning shame and solitude, forgiveness and goodbyes. I’m learning persistence and the closing of doors, the way the seasons come and go as I keep walking on these roads, back and forth, to find myself in new time zones, new arms with new phrases and new goals. And it hurts to become, hurts to find out about the poverty and gaps, the widow and the leavers. It hurts to accept that it hurts and it hurts to learn how easy it is for people to not need other people. Or how easy it is to need other people but that you can never build a home in someone’s arms because they will let go one day, and you must build your own.”

“Admitting mistakes, apologizing is very important in life but change! Someone can’t just apologize and disappear. We need to be responsible. We have to clean up our mess. Actions are much more important than the words. Don’t repeat the same mistake over and over again and end up saying sorry. ‘I’m Sorry’ just isn’t enough always! If you still have the chance to undo the hurt with your actions, then you should. You must!”

“Declare your life an emergency… then get started and keep pushin!”

“It’s not that other people seduce us. It’s that we so desperately crave the destruction of our own lives.”

“One day, I will look back upon my life and I will say, “That’s not the life I planned, but I lived it.” I may not have lived the life I planned, but I will have lived the life that I have.”

“Life is a gamble. There are no sureties. If you want something so badly, you’d have to trust your heart and your instincts and then take a leap of faith.”

“Don’t look at the crowds, look at yourself”

“Perspective is what all matters for a path you look at!!”

“The most progressive approach to life is to discuss ideas, rather than people.”

“He must have laughed at meevery single night,For I always missed the onewho was never mine.”
