Right before my eyes, I could see my life going away from me and there was nothing I could do.

I just sat there letting that music cover me like a big, cozy blanket.

The thing I realize is, that it's not what you take, it's what you leave.

Sorry wastes time. You have to live your life like you'll never be sorry. It's easier just to do the right thing from the start so there's nothing to apologize for.

It's my experience that people are a lot more sympathetic if they can see you hurting.

We are all alone, trapped in these bodies and our own minds, and whatever company we have in this life is only fleeting and superficial.

Music did that to me, just like God was supposed to, because music seemed both magic and holy.

Since I stopped writing, I read more than ever. Other people's words, not my own - my words are gone.

You need shoving, not pushing. You need to jump back on that camel. Otherwise you're going to stay up on the ledge you've made for yourself.

I do my best thinking at night when everyone else is sleeping. No interruptions. No noise. I like the feeling of being awake when no one else is.

You are all the colors in one, at full brightness.

Happiness is a beautiful smile.

You...are...a...fridge...with wings, ' Fang ground out, punching an Eraser hard with every word. 'We're...freaking...ballet...dancers.

Saying "yes" doesn't mean I don't know how to say no, and saying "please" doesn't mean I am waiting for permission.

As to happiness in this life it is hardly compatible with that diminished respect which ever attends the relinquishing of labour.

It is necessary that... we should believe that we are as capable of producing great art as we believe we are capable of doing great deeds.

In the end we are always rewarded for our good will, our patience, fair-mindedness, and gentleness with what is strange.

I don't care what you do for a living. If you love it, you are a success.

Love is a bodily shape; and Christian works are no more than animate faith and love, as flowers are the animate springtide.

The seeds are tiny, unborn things, and I resent them. They'll be planted and they'll grow into exactly what they're meant to be.

A Facebook message will never be able to replace face-to-face interaction.
