“ You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth. ”
“ It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live. ”
“ There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. ”
“ I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. ”
“ This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about. ”
“ Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You. ”
“ Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody. ”
“ The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive. ”
“ Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.
"After all this time?"
"Always," said Snape. ”
“ When someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable. ”
“ I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to. ”
“ We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be. ”
“ I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited. ”
“ The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person. ”
“ I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university. ”
“ How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. ”
“ The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom. ”
“ All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring. ”
“ Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad. ”
“ Sometimes I can hear my bones straining under the weight of all the lives I'm not living. ”
“ Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. ”
“ Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live. ”
“ I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
Delicious Ambiguity. ”
“ If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day. ”
“ These woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep. ”
“ All the world is made of faith, and trust, and pixie dust. ”
“ To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget. ”
“ I DON'T CARE!" Harry yelled at them, snatching up a lunascope and throwing it into the fireplace. "I'VE HAD ENOUGH, I'VE SEEN ENOUGH, I WANT OUT, I WANT IT TO END, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!"
"You do care," said Dumbledore. He had not flinched or made a single move to stop Harry demolishing his office. His expression was calm, almost detached. "You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it. ”
“ There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that’s what everyone else does. ”
“ We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be. ”
“ If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself. ”
“ When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ”
“ If you're reading this...
Congratulations, you're alive.
If that's not something to smile about,
then I don't know what is. ”
