Quotes
I Want To Live…
“I want to live the rest of my life, however long or short, with as much sweetness as I can decently manage, loving all the people I love, and doing as much as I can of the work I still have to do. I am going to write fire until it comes out of my ears, my eyes, my nose–everywhere. Until it’s every breath I breathe. I’m going to go out like a fucking meteor!” ―Audre Lorde
The Most Important Distinction…
“The most important distinction anyone can ever make in their life is between who they are as an individual and their connection with others.” ―Anné Linden
You’re In My Every Breath and Every Thought…
“You’re in my every breath and every thought, intertwined so deep inside me that love’s not a strong enough word—you have my devotion, your name branded on my soul… A hundred years? It’ll never be enough. I want eternity.” ―Nalini Singh
These Violent Delights…
“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”
―William Shakespeare
Love Is…
“Love is keeping the promise anyway.” ―John Green
Find The Things That Matter
“Find the things that matter, and hold on to them, and fight for them, and refuse to let them go.” ―Lauren Oliver
It’s Easy To Look Back and See It…
“It’s easy to look back and see it, and it’s easy to give the advice. But the sad fact is, most people don’t look beneath the surface until it’s too late.” ―Wendelin Van Draanen
I Always Think Of Each Night As A Song
“I always think of each night as a song. Or each moment as a song. But now I’m seeing we don’t live in a single song. We move from song to song, from lyric to lyric, from chord to chord. There is no ending here. It’s an infinite playlist.” ―David Levithan
She Was Like A Drowning Person…
She was like a drowning person, flailing, reaching for anything that might save her. Her life was an urgent, desperate struggle to justify her life.” ―Jonathan Safran Foer
