The choices you make now, the people you surround yourself with, they all have the potential to affect your life, even who you are, forever.

There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.

I like flaws. I think they make things interesting.

Grief can be a burden, but also an anchor. You get used to the weight, how it holds you in place.

But that was the problem with having the answers. It was only after you gave them that you realized they sometimes weren't what people wanted to hear.

I didnt pay atteniton to times or distance, instead focusing on how it felt just to be in motion, knowing it wasn't about the finish line but how I got there that mattered.

Grieving doesn't make you imperfect. It makes you human.

I realized how truly hard it was, really, to see someone you love change right before your eyes. Not only is it scary, it throws your balance off as well.

That was the hard thing about grief, and the grieving. They spoke another language, and the words we knew always fell short of what we wanted them to say.

But all I could think of was how when nothing made sense and hadn't for ages, you just have to grab onto anything you feel sure of.

So you should remember that, when you're thinking about what other people can deal with. Maybe it's not so bad.

This workshop where ideals are manufactured--it seems to me it stinks of so many lies

So far away, but so beautiful. So powerful. I can always feel it tugging at me.

Where the terror is, you must go.

The realms of the gods and demons - heaven, purgatory, hell - are of the substance of dreams. Myth, in this view, is the dream of the world.

An enthusiastic heart finds opportunities everywhere.

For a long time I have been thinking about affordable fashion - you can be disappointed when not so many people can wear your stuff.

Life is to be lived, not controlled.

You know, we should have cards like the deaf have. "Can't talk, I'm writing today."

No one likes getting their nails done more than I do.
