There is nothing wrong with loving the crap out of everything. Negative people find their walls. So never apologize for your enthusiasm. Never. Ever. Never.

…Above all; to thine own self be true.

Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.

To the waters and the wild
With a faery, hand in hand,
For the world’s more full of weeping than you can understand.

A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him up for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.

“This is not my life. These are not my cobwebs. This is not the darkness I was designed for.”

Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you’re wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn’t love you anymore.

You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.

I believe in pink. I believe laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing; kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles.

The sea’s only gifts are harsh blows, and occasionally the chance to feel strong. Now I don’t know much about the sea, but I do know that that’s the way it is here. And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.

Every act of rebellion expresses a nostalgia for innocence and an appeal to the essence of being.

I’m gonna soak up the sun
while its still free

I’m gonna soak up the sun
I’m gonna tell everyone
To lighten up

I did not die, and yet I lost life’s breath

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.
