Hier zijn een aantal quotes, just because I love them 😄
"Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you've read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells...and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower...both strange and familiar."
"You're reaching out
And no one hears you cry
You're freaking out again
'Cause all your fears
Remind you another dream has come undone
You feel so small and lost like you're the only one
You wanna scream 'cause you're
Desperate
You want somebody, just anybody
To lay their hands on your soul tonight
You want a reason to keep believin'
That someday you're gonna see the light
You're in the dark
There's no one left to call
And sleep's your only friend
Well even sleep
Can't hide you from all those tears
And all the pain and all the days
You wasted pushin' them away
It's your life, it's time you face it."
"The beginning of love is the will to let those we love be perfectly themselves, the resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them: we only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them."
"We all bleed the same colour."
"The thing with broken clocks is: you can always tell exactly when they stopped ticking.
With people it isn't so easy and sometimes you can't even tell
they are broken."
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
"You say you love rain, but you use an umbrella to walk under it. You say you love sun, but you seek shelter when it is shining. You say you love wind, but when it comes you close your windows. So that's why I'm scared when you say you love me."
"sometimes, you'll have a couple of good
days. and then it hits you. everything. it
hurts to talk, to love, to be. existing is so
difficult at times but no one wants to hear
that. no one wants to know about the days
you spend crying or curled up in a corner
somewhere or wishing you could be
anywhere but here. we all have our ways
of coping with it. we all have our very own
acts of survival. our ways of staying alive
when we're in too much pain to feel
anything at all. i get it. this isn't life
anymore. this is just about getting
through the day. i hope that one day it'll
be something more than that."
"Imagine smiling after a slap in the face. Then think of doing it twenty-four hours a day."
"Tears shed for another person are not a sign of weakness. They are a sign of a pure heart."
"Sometimes we get sad about things and we don't like to tell other people that we are sad about them. We like to keep it a secret. Or sometimes, we are sad but we really don't know why we are sad, so we say we aren't sad but we really are."
"Every strike brings me closer to the next home run."
"Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear."
"When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it."
