“No,
this is not the beginning of a new chapter in my life; this is the beginning of
a new book! That first book is already closed, ended, and tossed into the seas;
this new book is newly opened, has just begun! Look, it is the first page! And
it is a beautiful one!”

“The
more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become - because He
made us. He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I
were intended to be. . .It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to
His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.”

“The
chief beauty about time
is
that you cannot waste it in advance.
The
next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,
as
perfect, as unspoiled,
as
if you had never wasted or misapplied
a
single moment in all your life.
You
can turn over a new leaf every hour
if
you choose.”

Arnold Bennett
“The
splendid thing
about
falling apart
silently...
is

you
can start over
as
many times
as
you like.”

“I
guess it's going to have to hurt, I guess I'm going to have to cry, And let go
of some things I've loved to get to the other side
I
guess it's going to break me down, Like fallin when you try to fly,
Sad
but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life starts with goodbye”
―
Carrie Underwood
“A
bridge of silver wings stretches from the dead ashes of an unforgiving

raise a plastic glass. “To family.”
“And
Faerieland,” says Taryn, raising hers.
“And
pizza,” says Oak.
“And
stories,” says Heather.
“And
new beginnings,” says Vivi.
Cardan
smiles, his gaze on me. “And scheming great schemes.”
To
family and Faerieland and pizza and stories and new beginnings and scheming
great schemes. I can toast to that.”

“Letting
there be room for not knowing is the most important thing of all. When there's
a big disappointment, we don't know if that's the end of the story. It may just
be the beginning of a great adventure. Life is like that. We don't know
anything. We call something bad; we call it good. But really we just don't
know.”

“[T]hat
old September feeling, left over from school days, of summer passing, vacation
nearly done, obligations gathering, books and football in the air ... Another
fall, another turned page: there was something of jubilee in that annual
autumnal beginning, as if last year's mistakes had been wiped clean by summer.”
