"I guess that’s all forever is. Just one long trail of nows. And I guess all you can do is try and live one now at a time without getting too worked up about the last now or the next now."
Nicholas Evans

You’re going to be someone someday. You’re going to tilt the world on its axis and show the sun how it can really shine and you’re going to grow old, loved and adored and one day, you’re going to be able to look back and say yeah, that was me.
"I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime."
"Basically, what we have here is a dreamer. Somebody out of touch with reality. When she jumped, she probably thought she’d fly."
"I am learning how to be alone without being lonely, learning how to be lonely without losing my mind."
"I may still not know what I want to be when I grow up, but I do know that someday I want to live in a house filled with my books and travel souvenirs. And the walls that aren’t covered in bookshelves will be covered with photos of my family and friends. When I leave the house I will be going to a job I love, and I’ll return to a person I love. So, that’s the dream I’m working on."
"It’s unfortunate and I really wish I wouldn’t have to say this, but I like human beings who have suffered. They’re kinder."
"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
"If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail."
"To be your friend was all I ever wanted; to be your lover was all I ever dreamed."
