“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.”
-I Wrote This For You
“When sadness was the sea, you were the one that taught me to swim.”
-Iain S. Thomas, I Wrote This For You
“Promise me that you’ll always remember: you’re braver than you believe and stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.”
“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”

Perhaps the great loves come with tears.
“I saw that you were perfect and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more.”
-Unknown
“The human heart has hidden treasures, In secret kept, in silence sealed; The thoughts, the hopes, the dreams, the pleasures, Whose charms were broken if revealed.”
-Charlotte Bronte
“The purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.”
-Kurt Vonnegut
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.”
-Henry David Thoreau
“What is it that the child has to teach?The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness.The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not. And the child is right.”
-Menachem Mendel Schneerson
