And
live like it's heaven on earth.”

opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not

world.”

“It
is never too late to be what you might have been.”

George Eliot
“This
life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes,
it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going
to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But
just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through
everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also
remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well,
they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually
pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up
because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that
half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail
once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and
always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who
will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly,
keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile
about.”

Marilyn Monroe
“There
is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
