I love a book that makes me cry.

It's been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.

Look at that sea, girls--all silver and shadow and vision of things not seen. We couldn't enjoy its loveliness any more if we had millions of dollars and ropes of diamonds.

Because when you are imagining, you might as well imagine something worth while.

Next to trying and winning, the best thing is trying and failing.

My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes.

I don't know, I don't want to talk as much. (...) It's nicer to think dear, pretty thoughts and keep them in one's heart, like treasures. I don't like to have them laughed at or wondered over.

Do you know what I think Mayflowers are, Marilla? I think they must be the souls of the flowers that died last summer, and this is their heaven.

It is ever so much easier to be good if your clothes are fashionable.

Life is worth living as long as there's a laugh in it.

The world looks like something God had just imaged for his own pleasure, doesn't it?

He had seen bigger men than he with mummy's handkerchief clutched in on hand and a bloody dagger in the other.

When we leverage, we aggregate and organize existing resources to achieve success.

Focus only on what you love. Don't think about what you don't want - think about what you do want. Anything else is just a waste of energy.

I just make music based on what I believe.

Pain always produces logic, which is very bad for you.

Think colour! Know how to imagine it!

What can it matter to me, that I succeed or fail ? The undertaking is none of mine, if they want me to succeed I'll fail, and vice versa, so as not to be rid of my tormentors.

I just want to write. It's like once I get those obsessive thoughts out of my head, once they're written down, they're somehow set free and I can move on.

It's the impossible become possible and yet remaining impossible.

I had much more fun criticizing than praising.
