I think one of my favorite quotes ever is from The Princess Bride:

Death cannot stop true love, all it can do is delay it for a while.

William Goldman.

[Dyaug523]

"A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships."

Helen Keller: The Simplest Way to be Happy

[Jfc219]

And in that moment I swear we were infinite

-Stephen Chbosky; Perks of Being a Wallflower

[Gravy]

Each beginning is the end of a waiting. We are each given exactly one chance to be. Each of us is both impossible and inevitable. Every replete tree was first a seed that waited.

Hope Jahren in Lab Girl

[ilfirin_]

Not all those who wander are lost

The Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien

[Kyrabr]

...because I don't consider myself a shallow person either. But I think that people who make judgements about people they don't even know are shallow, and people who start rumors are shallow, and I really don't care what shallow people say about me

- Caitlin from Hold Still by Nina LaCour

I love this quote because I think in a way we all aspire to be like Caitlin and not care what others think of us. As long as we are comfortable and happy, other people's opinions shouldn't matter.

[Jojowrites4All]

People are who they are.
Not who you think they are.
Not who you want them to be.

"I was never insane except upon occasions when my heart was touched" Edgar Allen Poe

[Reba911]

I'd say that my all time favorite quote was something I got from a movie called Sucker Punch. It's a simple quote, but it means a lot to me because of how gullible I have been in the past. "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." I find so much truth in this quote.

[Arietta]

"What is essential is invisible to the eye"
The little prince

[Evilia]

Anyone who truly loves God travel securely
by St. Teresa of Avila

[Genaaa]

“I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. I had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was.”

Ransom Riggs: Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children

[Scott]

A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies. On the one hand, we are called to play the Good Samaritan on life's roadside, but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho Road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life's highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.

Speech: "Beyond Vietnam -- A Time to Break Silence"
Delivered April 4th, 1967 at Riverside Church, New York City.

[Gravy]

You're nobody's rainbow.
You're nobody's princess.
You're nobody's doorway but your own, and the only one who gets to tell you how your story ends is you.

Seanan McGuire, Every Heart a Doorway

[moonlightlin]

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.

Edgar Allan Poe from letter to an admirer
