“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
 Lao Tzu

“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

“Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.”
  William Shakespeare, All"s Well That Ends Well

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn"t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”
 Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 9: The Kindly Ones

“There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.”
  Sarah Dessen, The Truth About Forever
