Some of my favourite quotes
xxx

"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste and remember what peace there may be in silence. Go as far as possible without surrender. Be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Be yourself, especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the councel of the years gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture the strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the Universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be; and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul. Because with all its shams, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world" by Max Ehrmann

"Don't let success get to your head and don't let failure get to your heart"

"Don't be afraid of death, be afraid of an unlived life"

"Oh yes the past can hurt, but you can either run from it or learn from it -- the lion king

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live" - harry potter

"If you're really that good people will brag for you"

"God Karen you can't just ask people why they're white" - mean girls

"Life's like a box of chocolates you never know what you're gonna get" - forrest gump

"Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect, and I don't life to be. But before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean." - Bob Marley

and the quote that is on my signature!

"But I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in, but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside."

"If I tell you I love you can I keep you forever?" ~ Casper

"In the end, it's not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away."

"When you touched my hand for the first time, I wanted nothing more than to hold it forever."

"You know you love someone when the mere thought of hurting them is enough to break your own heart…"

"People are always telling me to smile, like smiling is gonna take away all the hurt and all the pain....well I've tried that. I've tried hiding my sorrows, and covering the sadness in my smile... and what I've learned is when it hurts this much inside, your heart always has a way of showing it, no matter how many masks you wear."

"Lingering pain has changed me everyday - and now I'm covered with a substance of darkness that won't wash away."

"I've found out why people laugh. They laugh because it hurts so much...because it’s the only thing that will make it stop hurting."

"You're scared because you don't understand... I'm scared because I do."

"Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep your love you keep pretending; preforming. You get to love your pretense. It's so true, we are locked inside and image, an act. And the saddest thing is, people grow attached to their masks; they love their chains. They forget all about who they were and if you try to remind them- they hate you for it. They feel like you're trying to steal their most prized possession."

"Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice. But not all the time; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many people live because they are afraid to die as die because they were afraid to live."

"We all need something we consider worth getting up in the morning for. Whether it's real or not; healthy or destructive; tangible or false is irrelevant, since when you've got nothing to hang onto, deception can seem pretty inviting."


"the worst part is that they don't notice. It's not that thy hate you, no. If they did it would be so much easier. If they did you could just hate them right back. Only they don't. They don't hate you. They just don't notice you. You're just not there to them..."

"People say I've changed but the truth is....I grew up!"
