If winning isn’t everything, then why do they keep score?
if life deals you lemons, make lemonade. if it deals you tomatoes, make bloody marys.
snowmen fall from heaven unassembled.
may the rain be always at your back,
the sun always upon your face,
and the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance among the stars
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle
-plato
don't let anyone look down on you because you are young,
but set an example for the believers
in speech, in life, in love, in faith,
and in purity

"i want you to tell me something first: after you're dead and buried and floating around whatever place we go to, what's going to be your best memory of earth? what one moment for you defines what it's like to be alive on this planet? i want to hear some small moment from your life that proves you're really alive."

-nico when asked what love is
"To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved. To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but who they have in their lives. To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. All will be judged individually on their own merits, not as a group on a comparison basis! To learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is one who needs the least. To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal them. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that there are persons who love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings. To learn that money can buy everything but happiness. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it totally different. To learn that a true friend is someone who knows everything about them...and likes them anyway. To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others, but that they have to forgive themselves."

"Love is like raceing across the frozen tundra on a snow mobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come."
