some of my favorite quotes:

"In ten years' time. I want to live in a house with big windows. I want the house to be large enough to have a kitchen table with four chairs but not too roomy to ever feel the depth of my aloneness, because I'll probably be alone, but I think aloneness won't feel so all-consuming with windows that protect me from the world but still let me watch it."

-Maeve Wiley

"We hear a lot of promises that things will get better. Maybe they will, maybe they won't. And what I think I've learned, what I wanna say to you is: Whatever happens, keep moving. Get through it. Choose to live. 'Cause, even on the worst days, there are people who love you. There is new music waiting for you to hear, something you haven't seen before that will blow your mind in the best way. Even on the worst day, life is a pretty spectacular thing."

- Clay Jensen

"Do it. You'll never know unless you do it. You gotta do it, or you'll think about it forever. You'll wonder why you didn't, if you have the blessing of growing old."

- Corpse Husband

"They say when you meet the love of your life, time stops, and that is true. What they don't tell you, is that once time starts again, it moves extra fast to catch up."

"There's a time when a man needs to fight, and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny is lost... the ship has sailed and only a fool would continue. Truth is- I've always been a fool."

- Big Fish (2003), directed by Tim Burton

"You know, I believe if there's any kind of God, it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me. But just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. (...) The answer must be in the attempt."

- Before Sunrise (1995), directed by Richard Linklater

"When the people I used to know found out what I had been doing, how I had been living, they asked me 'why?', but there's no use talking to people who have a home. They have no idea what it's like to seek safety in other people, for home to be wherever you lie your head. I was always an unusual girl. My mother told me I had a chameleon soul. No moral compass pointing due North, no fixed personality, just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean. And if I said I didn't plan for it to turn out this way, I'd be lying. Because I was born to be the other woman, who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone, who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn't even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me."

- Lana Del Rey, "Ride"

"In this world, all we have are the connections that we make."

"There are people that help you become the person you end up being, and you can be grateful for them, even if they were never meant to be in your life forever."

- Bojack Horseman

"You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore."

- William Faulkner

"Believe you can and you're halfway there."

- Theodore Roosevelt

„Forgive Yourself: Living in the past and dwelling on previous mistakes will only serve to hinder your progress. Today, make the decision to forgive yourself for all your past failings. You will walk lighter and feel braver if you do this.”

"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become."

"I have accepted fear as part of life - specifically the fear of change... I have gone ahead despite the pounding in the heart that says: turn back..." - Erica Jong

"Be enough for yourself first. the rest of the world can wait."
