Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why
“Do
not fall in love with people like me.
I
will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every
beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like
blood in your mouth.
I
will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will
finally understand, why storms are named after people.”

can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own
pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path,
but it's another to think that yours is the only path.”

you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage
to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to
show us the way.”

Paulo Coelho, Brida
“Lost
opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That's part
of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that's where I
imagine it - there's a little room where we store those memories. A room like
the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we
have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every
once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In
other words, you'll live forever in your own private library.”
―
Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what
you were, only see you for the mistakes you've made, if they don't realize that
you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.”

Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free
“How
nice -- to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive.”

Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five
“The
saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about
anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand, and without them,
any happiness is only temporary, because there's nothing to make it last.”

Nicholas Sparks, Dear John
“Time
doesn’t heal emotional pain, you need to learn how to let go.”
