Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.
The best way to have an edge is to live on one.
The more fun you have in life, the funner you are to be with.
Love isn’t a noun, it’s a verb. It’s an active state where one constantly strives to accept another exactly the way they are at that moment.
To perceive is to suffer.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a bike, or an arm, or your life. If you can take it apart, if you can understand it, you can make it better.
My heart has grown rich with the passing of years,
I have less need now than when I was young
To share myself with every comer
Or shape my thoughts into words with my tongue.
It is one to me that they come or go
If I have myself and the drive of my will,
And strength to climb on a summer night
And watch the stars swarm over the hill.
Let them think I love them more than I do,
Let them think I care, though I go alone;
If it lifts their pride, what is it to me
Who am self-complete as a flower or a stone.
There is nothing for me, but to assure you in the most animated language, of the violence of my affection.

Time flies when you’re throwing watches.
Never surrender, Never compromise.
There’s a better way if we just let go.

Success is the ability to move from one failure to the next with enthusiasm.
Most people give up just when they’re about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown.
I started falling apart, I’m not savouring life,
I’ve forgotten how good it can be to feel alive,
Take the pieces and build them skywards.
Letting it get to you, y’know what that’s called?
Being alive, best thing there is.
Being alive, right now, it’s all that counts.
You can either start dying, or start living.
If you believe in destiny, that could be the point which sets you free.
Being alone and being lonely are two different things. If you’re one, you don’t have to be the other.
If you’re having trouble letting go, realise that if they wanted to be there, they’d still be there.
I live to die another day, until I fade away.
Why give up? Why give in?
It’s not enough, it never is,
So I will go on until the end.
Any sign of weakness is a weakness.
There will be no weakness.
Not anymore.
Live without pretending,
Love without depending,
Listen without defending,
Speak without offending.
You can’t live in fear.
It’s not who I am underneath, but what I do, that defines me.
I could never change just what I feel,
My face will never show what is not real.
Will you take a leap of faith; or become an old man, filled with regret, waiting to die alone?
If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, and if they can’t stop you, then you become something else entirely.
It takes seconds to fall in love but years to understand what love really is.
Holding on is attachment, letting go is love.
You’ll hunt me. You’ll condemn me. Set the dogs on me. Because that’s what needs to happen. Because sometimes, truth isn’t good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.
All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.
This is your life and its ending one moment at a time.
Until you find something to fight for, you settle for something to fight against.
Don’t do what you want. Do what you don’t want. Do what you’re trained not to want. Do the things that scare you the most.
We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.
And so castles made of sand, fall in the sea, eventually.
Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view.
Your past is exactly that. Only when we let go of the past do we make way for the future.
