    “Life is long, and sometimes cruel. Sometimes victims are needed. Someone has to take on that role. And human bodies are fragile, easily damaged. Cut them, and they bleed.”

    If you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it, and above all be passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot it’s no good either. White hot and passionate the only thing to be.

    Roald Dahl, My Uncle Oswald

    You know, someday you’re going to make somebody a wonderful fortune cookie.
    -Maya [Girl Meets World]

    Fight because you don’t know how to die quietly. Win because you don’t know how to lose.

    Like Goldilocks we had to go and break all the chairs until we had nowhere to sit.

    Frankly, my humour is for my enjoyment. Whether you get it or not is of little consequence to me.
    -Tristan [Crown Of Glass]

    you deserve what you manage to get.

    are you a firework because u are really loud and annoying

    Find 3 hobbies you love:
    One to make you money, one to keep you in shape and one to be creative.

    Some infinities are simply bigger than other infinities.
    -The Fault In Our Stars, 2014

    The right person is still going to think the sun shines out of your ass.
    -Junk, 2007

    Finding a precious thing or person is a very happy thing. But it can also be scary.
    -Winter Woods

    There is nothing to understand. It is a feeling. It is how you feel when you are happy.
    -A Gypsy’s Tale

    Do not let this world make you hide.

    Note: This quote is from over a century ago, so surely @Ai chan and @lychee have heard of this quote.
    a. It was probably in Spring 1912 when a 33-year-old man told his 50-year-old or 51-year-old mom that he was considering quitting the industry that he was working in. Anna comforted her son and told him the following: "You have your back to the wall. You are looking before you. You cannot go backward. Move forward. You will find it that way all through life. Your past is the wall against which you stand. You cannot go backward. You must go forward."

    b. That man was film producer William Fox (1/1/1879-5/8/1952). That mom was Anna Fox (1861-1925). I got the quote from p. 84 of a book called "The Man Who Made The Movies: The Meteoric Rise and Tragic Fall of William Fox". Excluding pre-releases, the book was released the Tuesday after Thanksgiving 2017. The author is a former magazine and newspaper journalist Vanda Krefft. This lady, an FB friend of mine, spent over a decade working on writing and preparing the book.

    "sum up, everyone agrees that no one area of activity can be successfully pursued by someone who is preoccupied — rhetoric cannot, nor can the liberal arts — since the distracted mind takes in nothing really deeply but rejects everything that is, so to speak, pounded into it. Nothing is less characteristic of a man preoccupied than living: there is no knowledge that is harder to acquire ..." -I forget the philosopher
