“It’s okay, not many have the courage to love you.”

I stopped going through a lot of doors after I remembered how miserable I was last time coming out of it.

I think I’m just one question away from telling a stranger how heavy the weight I’ve been carrying.

Love is knowing that she is delicate and not breaking her still.

You’d be a fool to think that you leaving me in darkness meant I’d stay there forever.

Only humans have the tendency to break something and be disgusted by the pieces.

At the end we all settle for peace.

Every storm started with just a little drizzling.

People who feel like sunshine have walked more in the rain than basked in the sun.

I will always be a fire, with or without somebody igniting me.

The best thing about being a writer is you get to write your endings.

Tell how you feel, that’s how it sets you free.

My dear, Don’t be scared of love because what broke you back then wasn’t love at all.

If your pain hurts them too, they’re your people. Keep them.

I’m not saying I don’t miss you it’s just that, now when I do it no longer hurts.

Chase someone who doesn’t run away from you.

A love too much will either give you a person for life or a lesson for life.

Let each dawn find us courageous, brought closer, heeding the lights before the fight is over.

There is only one thing that remains to us, that cannot be taken away: to act with courage and dignity and to stick to the ideals that have given meaning to life.

There is always something moving, brewing. There are ambitious people everywhere. Wicked people. The only thing to do is to deal with them with courage and decision. One must beware of uncertainty, weakness or conflicting emotions – they lead to defeat.

We must become bigger than we have been: more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegiance not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community.

Most of us know exactly what it is that creates the pain, confusion, stagnation and disruption in our lives. When we find something or someone creating in our lives that which we do not want, we must muster the courage and strength to stop it.

In the Soviet army it takes more courage to retreat than advance.

Have the courage to be exactly who you are without apology. Admit your mistakes without beating yourself up. Release all shame! Release all guilt! You cannot live if you are hiding behind what was. Focus on what is, right now, and that is you!

Sometimes the rewards of risk don’t leave us wrecked. Sometimes we find our passion, our purpose, courage, connection, and comfort. Every good thing in our lives is a direct result of risk.
