“It’s all well and good to say, 

‘Time heals all wounds, this too shall pass. 

People will forget’—and things like that when you’re not involved,

but when you are, time doesn’t pass, people don’t forget,

and you’re in the middle of something that doesn’t change.”

~ John Steinbeck ~

"Believe in yourself.

You are braver than you think,

more talented than you believe, and

capable of far more than you imagine."

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

There comes a time when the world

falls silent and the only thing left

is your own heart. So you'd better

learn to recognize its sound.

Otherwise, you'll never understand what it's saying.

~ Sarah Dessen ~

“People will come and go from your life,

but the one whose mark left a lasting 

impression is the one you should never let go.”

~ Michael Bassey Johnson ~

“A smile puts you on the right path. 

A smile makes the world a beautiful place. 

When you lose your smile, 

you get lost in the chaos of life.”

~ Roy T. Bennett ~

“If you truly listen, if you pay attention

to the poignant beauty of the world,

your heart will often break.

In fact, your heart is made to break;

its purpose is to open again and again

so that it can hold ever more wonders.”

~ Andrew Harvey ~
