rocketChips’s most loved Quotables

Some people care too much, I think it's called love.

You're not a terrible person for wanting to break up with someone you love. You don’t need a reason to leave. Wanting to leave is enough. Leaving doesn’t mean you’re incapable of real love or that you’ll never love anyone else again... It means you wish to change the terms of one particular relationship. That’s all. Be brave enough to break your own heart.

And don’t worry about losing. If it is right, it happens—The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.

Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life.

It's like screaming and no one can hear. You almost feel ashamed that someone could be that important that without them you feel like nothing. No one will ever understand how much it hurts. You feel hopeless like nothing can save you. And when it's over and it's gone, you almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back, so that you could have the good.

Walk with the dreamers, the believers, the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, the doers, the successful people with their heads in the clouds and their feet on the ground. Let their spirit ignite a fire within you to leave this world better than when you found it.

When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

...if you are in love—that’s a good thing—that’s about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don’t let anyone make it small or light to you.

You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.

You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don’t waste your time on anything else.

I have nothing now but praise for my life. I'm not unhappy. I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can't stop them. They leave me and I love them more. ... What I dread is the isolation. ... There are so many beautiful things in the world which I will have to leave when I die, but I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready.

When she talks about her life, [she] can make it sound as though, beneath a fragile veneer of confidence, she has spent a long time flailing to catch on to the kind of everyday knowledge that she felt everyone else just seemed to know.

It amazes me what humans can do, even when streams are flowing down their faces and they stagger on, coughing and searching, and finding.

One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.

...that's the weird thing about grief. You can't prepare for it. You think you're gonna cry and get it over with. You make those plans, but they never work.

A learning experience is one of those things that says, "You know that thing you just did? Don't do that."

Listen!
If stars are lit
It means there is someone who needs it,
It means someone wants them to be,
That someone deems those specks of spit
Magnificent!

While she was conscious, I never said goodbye.

Live all you can: It’s a mistake not to. It doesn't so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you haven't had that, what have you had?...What one loses one loses; make no mistake about that...The right time is any time that one is still so lucky as to have.... Live!

When two people love each other - totally, truthfully, all the way love each other - the answer to that question is simple...when do you get to that point where enough is enough? Never. Never.
