“Hope is a psychological mechanism

that is unaffected by external realities.”

~ Gene Wolfe ~

You weren't born to please anyone; 

you have to live life to express yourself, 

not to impress anyone. 

Don't pretend to be someone you're not, 

and never lose yourself seeking 

the acceptance and approval of others.

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

Don't let the memories of your past 

limit the potential of your future. 

There are no limits to what you can 

achieve on your journey through life, 

except in your mind.

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

Endings aren't bad; they just mean something 

else is about to begin. 

And many things don't really end; 

they simply begin again in a new way. 

Endings aren't bad, and many endings 

aren't really endings; 

some things are eternal.

~ C. JoyBell ~

The best thing about dreams is that they don't expire. 

They can lie dormant for years, 

and when you retrieve them and dust them off, 

they shine like new.

~ Almost McLean ~

“It’s your life; you don’t need anyone’s permission 

to live the life you want. 

Be brave and live from the heart.”

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

“Sometimes, we are so attached to our way of life 

that we reject wonderful opportunities simply 

because we don’t know what to do with them.”

~ Paulo Coelho ~

She must follow her own path. 

And we must accept that, on her journey, 

we may not be the heroes destined to save her, 

but simply the guides destined to accompany her. 

To love her on her journey. 

That is the true price of friendship.
