    I'll leave a chair for you



    “You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.”
    [Maya Angelou]

    "No matter what happens, don’t be sorry you were born. Even though nobody praises us, don’t forget to smile in any situation. As long as you’re alive there will be better things later, and there will be many…"
    [--]

    “Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine."
    [Ralph Waldo Emerson]

    “It has been said, ‘Time heals all wounds’. I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting insanity, covers them in scar tissue and the pain lessens, but, it is never gone.”
    [Rose Kennedy]

    “Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings.”
    [Elizabeth Gilbert]

    “I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
    [Marilyn Monroe]

    “There is only one kind of human, and it is the kind that aches when it feels lonely.”
    [Emilie Forst]

    “I make no apologies for how I chose to repair what you broke.”
    [--]

    “Why do we think that knowing the events of someone’s life will give us insight into the person they are? Certainly we react to the things that happen to us; we are not unchanged by them. But there’s no formula to it. You may know that a cascade of water can wear away stone, but you can’t predict what shape the rock will take at any given moment.”
    [The Nobodies Album, Carolyn Parkhurst]

    “The best thing about music is that you can never be wrong; only different.”

    I know I'll come back on my knees someday



    “How strange it is to be anything at all.”
    [, Milk Hotel]

    “You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you’ve done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired. You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you didn’t even have a name for.”
    [Richard Siken]

    “Sometimes the heart is so heavy that we turn away from it and forget that its throbbing is the wisest message of life, a wordless message that says, ‘Live, be, move, rejoice. You are alive!’ Without the heart’s wise rhythm, we could not exist.”
    [Michael Jackson]

    “The greatest part of our happiness depends on our dispositions, not our circumstances.”
    [Martha Washington]

    “We can’t plan life. All we can do is be available for it.”
    [Lauryn Hill]

    “The most important things are the hardest to say.”
    [Stephen King]

    “There’s a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasn’t ‘cause I thought I’d be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It’s easier to be alone, because what if you learn that you need love and you don’t have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It’s like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever.”
    [Grey's Anatomy, Meredith Grey]

    “Sure. Not everyone’s parents stay together. Sure, 50% of kids are seen to society as screw-ups. Yeah, some days suck. Yes, you will get your heart broken, and you’ll be left behind by someone who doesnt deserve you. But you deserve yourself, all of the pros and cons. You deserve to look in the mirror and be happy with what’s looking you straight in the face. So get there. Be there. Find yourself, create yourself. You deserve your own happy ending, kid.”
    [The Song the Caged Girl Sang, Jane O’Lean]

    “Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.”
    [Oscar Wilde]

    “Music is the speech of angels; nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt to be so divine. It brings us near to the infinite.”
    [Thomas Carlyle]

    “I’ve learned that things change, people change, and it doesn’t mean you forget the past or try to cover it up. It simply means that you move on and treasure the memories. Letting go doesn’t mean giving up, it means accepting that some things just weren’t meant to be.”
    [--]

    “Before you decide to judge them, make sure you’re not one of them.
    [--]

    "Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it’s stupid."
    [Albert Einstien]

    “I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.”
    [Billy Joel]

    “To play it safe is not to play.”
    [Robert Altman]

    “The truth will set you free. But first, it will make you mad”
    [--]

    "Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are."
    [Kurt Cobain]

    “If you liked being a teenager, there is something really wrong with you.”
    [Stephen King]

    “In a society so governed by superficiality, by appearances and petty economics, dreams are more real than anything in the ‘real’ world. Refuse normalcy. Beauty is everywhere, love is endless, and joy bleeds from our everyday existence. Embrace it. Everybody contains a universe of potential; exhaust it. Live and love so immensely that when death comes, there is nothing left for him to take.”
    [Dominic Owen Mallary]

    “Maybe our favorite quotations say more about us than about the stories and people we’re quoting.”
    [John Green]

    “Trouble is part of your life, and if you don’t share it, you don’t give the person who loves you enough chance to love you enough.”
    [Dinah Shore]

    “It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness and of pain: of strength and freedom. The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature, and everlasting beauty of monotony.”
    [Benjamin Britten]

    “Everything is so dark, and I know there’s something wrong, but I can’t turn the light on.”
    [Never Go Back, Evanescence]

    “It does not do well to dwell on dreams, and forget to live.”
    [Albus Dumbledore]

    “Maybe that’s why people have friends at all. Not because they like them so much but because they don’t make them feel so much worse.”
    [How the Hula Girl Sings, Joe Meno]

    “Love is when you can’t be apart from someone for too long…you’re always thinking of them, and when you’re with them you never want to say goodbye. Love is far from simple. It’s quite complex. It’s a mix of about everything. It’s sadness, joy, passion, hatred, excitement, it’s almost every feeling you can imagine and more. You know love when you find it, it’s that person that when they smile it brightens up your day, you can’t stop staring at them for fear of losing them, they’re always on your mind, you daydream of being with them, even if they’re less than 20 feet away…and you can’t stand it when they’re not with you, the worst feeling you could ever feel is when you know that person you love is not with you…you can’t tell when love will happen, you just know when it does, that moment when you first lay eyes on that person, and you never want to look away…that is love. Nothing less.”
    [--]

    “Roses are red, violets are blue, assume the worst of me and trust me, I’ll give it to you.”
    [--]

    “The biggest mistake I have made in my life is letting people stay in my life far longer than they deserved to.”
    [--]

    “My friends are always telling me to move on, to give up. But why? Why should I? They don’t see you the way that I see you. They don’t look into your eyes and see the world. Why would they understand? They can’t possibly imagine what it means to look at your best friend and see all their hopes and dreams come true. I wish for once, just once, they could walk a mile in my shoes. But they wouldn’t need to walk that far, they would just take one step and suddenly, they would take back every bit of ‘getting over you’ advice they had ever given me and realize you’re my life, you were meant for me, and that moving on or giving up is simply not an option.”
    [--]

    “Gazing up into the darkness I saw myself as a creature driven and derided by vanity; and my eyes burned with anguish and anger.”
    [James Joyce]

    “Once you walk out of my life, the door locks behind you.”
    [--]

    “The right to be heard does not automatically include the right to be taken seriously.”
    [Hubert H. Humphrey]

    “The past should be the past. It can destroy the future. Live life for what tomorrow has to offer, not for what yesterday has taken away.”
    [--]

    “People always think the most painful thing is losing your love but the truth is the most painful thing is losing yourself.”
    [--]

    "My body is the most precious thing in this world. I love all the things that my body does for me. In hurting my body, I am sabotaging all of the things that I love. My body dances. My body runs. My body floats. My body breathes. My body kisses. My body loves. There is no reason for me to be hurting something that only wants to make me happy."
    [--]

    “I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”
    [Dr. Seuss]

    “From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot in front of the other. But when books are opened you discover you have wings.”
    [Helen Hayes]

    "I feel like my life is so scattered right now. Like it's all these small pieces of paper and someone's turned on the fan. But talking to you makes me feel like the fan's been turned off for a little bit. Like things could actually make sense."
    [--]

    "I love you. I am who I am because of you. You are every reason, every hope, and every dream I've ever had, and no matter what happens to us in the future, everyday we are together is the greatest day of my life. I will always be yours."
    [--]

    “You and I are going to be okay, you know that, right? We may not be as happy as you always dreamed we would be, but for the first time let’s just allow ourselves to be whatever it is we are and that will be better. Okay? I think that will be better.”
    [Garden State]

    “Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down.”
    [--]

    “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”
    [Epicurus]

    “I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live. Because if I were able to live my life again, I would do things differently. I would change my life."

    Without a little lift, the ballerina falls



    "Let me be, was all I wanted. Be what I am, no matter how I am."
    [Henry Miller]

    “It’s ironic how we ignore those who want us, want those who ignore us, love those who hurt us, and hurt those who love us.”
    [--]

    “If you can allow yourself to breathe into the depth, wonder, beauty, craziness, and strife – everything that represents the fullness of your life – you can live fearlessly. Because you come to realize that if you just keep breathing, you cannot be conquered.”
    [--]

    “Things are sweeter when they’re lost. I know—because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly... and when I got it it turned to dust in my hand.”
    [F. Scott Fitzgerald]

    “We have only one story. All novels, all poetry, are built on the never-ending contest in ourselves of good and evil. And it occurs to me that evil must constantly re-spawn, while good, while virtue, is immortal. Vice has always a new fresh young face, while virtue is venerable as nothing else in the world is.”
    [John Steinbeck]

    “We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream. Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams. World losers and world forsakers, for whom the pale moon gleams. Yet we are movers and the shakers of the world forever it seems.”
    [--]

    “We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that’s why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I’ll never forget a single moment of it.”
    [--]

    “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
    [--]

    “Courage is knowing what not to fear.”
    [Plato]

    “Beauty, the world seemed to say. And as if to prove it (scientifically) wherever he looked at the houses, at the railings, at the antelopes stretching over the palings, beauty sprang instantly. To watch a leaf quivering in the rush of air was an exquisite joy. Up in the sky swallows swooping, swerving, flinging themselves in and out, round and round, yet always with perfect control as if elastics held them; and the flies rising and falling; and the sun spotting now this leaf, now that, in mockery, dazzling it with soft gold in pure good temper; and now again some chime (it might be a motor horn) tinkling divinely on the grass stalks—all of this, calm and reasonable as it was, made out of ordinary things as it was, was the truth now; beauty, that was the truth now. Beauty was everywhere.”
    [--]

    "It doesn't matter who you love, it's that you love."
    [Megan Mullay]

    “‎I am glad the rain is coming down hard. It’s the way I feel inside."
    [Sylvia Plath]

    “If someone comes into your life and becomes a part of you, but for some reason they couldn’t stay, don’t cry too much, just be glad that your paths crossed and somehow they made you happy even for a while.”
    [--]

    “Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.”
    [Steve Marabol]

    “I was born and raised to entertain other people. I’ve heard laughter and applause and known a lot of sorrow. Everything about me is based on show business – I think it will bring me happiness. I hope so.”<3
    [Donald O’Connor]

    “You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it fearlessly.”
    [Steve Maraboli]

    “Each time you act in spite of fear, you discover even greater, deeper courage.”
    [--]

    “Did you know that the people that seem the strongest are usually the most sensitive? Did you know that the people who exhibit the most kindness are usually the first to get mistreated? Did you know the ones who take care of others all the time are usually the ones that need it the most? Did you know the 3 hardest things to say are: I love you, I’m sorry and Help me?”
    [--]

    “I think for me, beauty is sincerity. I think that there are so many different ways that someone can be beautiful. You know someone’s so funny that it makes them beautiful no matter how they look because they’re sincere in it. Or someone’s really emotional and moody and thoughtful and stoic but that makes them beautiful because that’s sincerely who they are. Or you look out into the crowd and you see someone so happy that they’re smiling from ear-to-ear and that sincerity comes through, and I think that’s what makes somebody beautiful. I’ve never felt like there’s just one way to be beautiful, you know, tall or short, straight hair or curly or whatever, some people have definitions of their “types.” You know, for me, I think that when I meet someone and there’s that magical thing about them that makes them unforgettable, it’s that they’re sincere in honest in whoever they are. Be that funny, happy, sad, going through a rough time, sarcastic, I think these personality traits that come through when somebody is really sincere is what makes them beautiful.”
    [Taylor Swift]

    “If your ship doesn’t come in, swim out to it.”
    [Jonathan Winters]

    "You shouldn't have to apologize for being real."
    [--]

    "He laughs at my dreams, but I dream of his laughter."
    [--]

    “Growing apart doesn’t change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side; our roots will always be tangled. I’m glad for that.”

    "I disappear into the person I love. I am the permeable membrane. If I love you, you can have it all."
    [--]

    Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything.
    [Henry David Thoreau]

    No one should settle for anything that doesn’t make them feel good, whole, and valuable.

    [Joan Baez]

    "Indifference; that is true pain."
    [Paul Angelo]

    Until you’ve lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was.

    Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn’t carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.
    [Stephen King]

    Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first.The depth of darkness to which you can descend and still live is an exact measure of the height to which you can aspire to reach.
    [Terry Pratchett]

    How frail the human heart must be — a mirrored pool of thought
    [--]

    The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause and stand wrapped in awe, is as good a dead; his eyes are closed.
    [Albert Einstein]

    “Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past. Stop planning the future. Stop trying to figure out precisely how we feel. Stop deciding with our mind what we want our heart to feel and sometimes we just have to go with whatever happens.
