“Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans.”

“I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.”

“Everything you can imagine is real.”

“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”

“I’m not afraid of death; I just don’t want to be there when it happens.”

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.”

“Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.”

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”

“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.”

“sometimes you don’t need a goal in life, you don’t need to know the big picture. you just need to know what you’re going to do next!”

“Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country.”

“Even After All this timeThe Sun never says to the Earth,”You owe me.”LookWhat happensWith a love like that,It lights the whole sky.”

“to love life, to love it evenwhen you have no stomach for itand everything you’ve held dearcrumbles like burnt paper in your hands,your throat filled with the silt of it.When grief sits with you, its tropical heatthickening the air, heavy as watermore fit for gills than lungs;when grief weights you like your own fleshonly more of it, an obesity of grief,you think, How can a body withstand this?Then you hold life like a facebetween your palms, a plain face,no charming smile, no violet eyes,and you say, yes, I will take youI will love you, again.”

“I want to be in a relationship where you telling me you love me is just a ceremonious validation of what you already show me.”
