We wake up everyday with a list of wishes, and maybe we spend our lives trying to make those wishes come true. But just because we want them, doesn’t mean that we need them to be happy.

Ned, Pushing Daisies (via quote-book)

I always tell the girls, never take it seriously, if you never take it seriously, you never get hurt, if you never get hurt, you always have fun.

Everyone has three lives: a public life, a private life, and a secret life.

Gabriel García Márquez (via kari-shma) (via quote-book)

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.

W. M. Lewis (via quote-book)

Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Howard Thurman (via esckapist)

Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains two descriptions: might have, and should have.

Louis E. Boone (via kari-shma) (via quote-book)

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that’s holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet ,because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then they leave.

Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat Pray Love (via quote-book)

You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?’

George Bernard Shaw (via quote-book)

Sometimes you just have to be brave. You have to be strong. Sometimes you just can’t give in to weak thoughts. You have to beat down those devils that get inside your head and try to make you panic. You struggle along, putting one foot a little bit ahead of the other, hoping that when you go backwards it won’t be too far backwards, so that when you start going forwards again you won’t have too much to catch up
