“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours.”
—Ayn Rand (via julie911) (via quote-book)
“It’s been said that the saddest thing a man will ever face is what might have been. But what of a man whose faced with what was? Or what may never be? Or what can no longer be? Choosing the right path is never easy. It’s a decision we make with only our hearts to guide us. But sometimes we find our way to something better. Sometimes we fight through the regret and remorse of our mistakes, our malice and our jealousy and the shame we feel for not being the people we were meant to be. And that’s when we find our way to something better. Or when something better finds its way to us.”
—Dan - Voiceover (One Tree Hill) (via kari-shma) (via quote-book)

“Hope is a good thing—maybe the best thing, and no good thing ever dies.”
—Stephen King from The Shawshank Redemption (via reluctantbuddha) (via quote-book)
“Our eyelashes brushed like they would weave together by themselves, turning us into one wild thing. I say, ‘I think I missed you before I met you even.’”

“Your memory is a monster; you forget - it doesn’t. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you - and summons them to your recall with will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you.”

“Anyone can fly, all you have to do is throw yourself at the ground and miss.”
—Douglas Adams (via suzywire) (via out-of-my-dreams)
