“We’re stronger in the places that we’ve been broken.”

Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.

The best writing is certainly when you are in love.

No one ever stopped when they were winning.

When you love you wish to do things for. You wish to sacrifice for. You wish to serve.

There is no such thing as great writing – there is only great re-writing!

Why do old men wake so early? Is it to have one longer day?

Before you react, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you criticize, wait. Before you quit, try.

The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places.

Everybody is friends when things are bad enough.

No animal has more liberty than the cat, but it buries the mess it makes. The cat is the best anarchist.

The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.

You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.

Look at things and listen and feel.

Courage is grace under pressure.

Write drunk; edit sober.

No matter how much this broken heart heals I still wake up alone.

I’ve been living with this fear that if my eyes start to tear, they will be drowning me.

Broken hearts and broken dreams, maybe it’s just the way we are meant to be.

The feeling of love conquers all heartbreak.

Even though we tried we still ended up broken shattered, scattered, glass.

As I unfolded my hand she took my palm her eyes narrowed on the heart line and I knew by the look in my eyes I would always be heartbroken.

All the flowers in my house dried up and died, maybe because only they have seen me when nobody is around.

And I knew something was deeply broken inside me when you gave me the most glimmering of compliments and I still could not bring myself to muster even the faintest of smiles.
