Use me as your will,
Pull my strings just for a thrill.
And I know I'll be okay..
Though my skies are turning grey.
--The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

The truth is rarely pure and never simple.

If you can't handle me at my worse,
Then you don't deserve me at my best.

Never say the sky is the limit,
Because there are footsteps on the moon.

We're all damaged in our own way.
nobody's perfect. I think we are all
somewhat screwy, every single one of us.
-Johnny Depp

If children have the ability to ignore
all odds and percentages, then maybe we
can all learn from them. When you think about it,
what other choice is there but to hope?
We have two options, medically and emotionally:
give up or fight like hell.
-:Lance Armstrong

You don't need anyone to tell you
who you are or what you are.
You are what you are.
-John Lennon

The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes.
If you foolishly ignore beauty, you will soon find
yourself without it. Your life will be impoverished.
But if you invest in beauty, it will remain
with you all the days of your life.
-Frank Lloyd Wright

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
-Audrey Hepburn

I never asked for it to be over.
Then again, I never asked for it to
begin. That's the way it is with life,
some of the most beautiful days come
completely by chance. But even the most
beautiful days have their sunsets.

You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel,
but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.
-Pearl S. Buck

A heart that craves gets lost in everything,
and a heart that heeds finds hope in anything.
-Azure Ray

In prayer it is better to have a heart
without words than words without a heart.
-Mahatma Gandhi

To ease another's heartache is to forget one's own.
-Abraham Lincoln

Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game.

Everyone goes through heartbreak, and separation, and displacement,
and confusion, and the acing suspicion that they have no idea what they
are doing--at all. Its just my turn.
--Will Leitch "Catch"

God saw you getting tired, a cure not meant to be.
He put His arms around you, and whispered come with me.
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, two working hands at rest.
God broke out hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
--Anonymous. In loving memory of Ethan Michael Grimm.

Tell me what you thought about when you were gone,
& so alone. The worst is over, you can have the best of me.
We got older, but we're still young.
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't give up.
--The Starting Line

Life is pleasant. Death is peacful. It's the transition that's troublesome.
--Isaac Asimov

Strength does not come from physical capacity.
It comes from an indomitable will.
--Mahatma Gandhi

This is not what I intended.
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart.
You always thought that I was stronger,
I may have failed but I have loved you from the start.
--Secondhand Serenade

Don't pay attention to what they write about you.
Just measure it in inches.
--Andy Warhol

When you try your best but you don't succeed,
When you get what you want but not what you need,
When you feel so tired but you cant sleep,
Stuck in reverse..
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home..
--Coldplay

Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely.
-Rodin

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
-SemiSonic

My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold...
And while you're out there gettin' where you're gettin' to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too..
Yeah this...is my wish.
-Rascal Flatts

May you find God's grace in every mistake & always give more than you take..
-Rascal Flatts

Color photographs show the color of your clothes.
Black and white photographs show the color of your soul.

When something unexpected comes,
You just have to pick it up and run with it.
-Remember the Titans

We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go,
We take a little bit of each other everywhere.  

Wherever you go, not matter what the weather,
Always bring your own sunshine.

And sometimes ending is the only place to start..
-Lifehouse

Missing someone isn't about how long it has been since you've seen them
Or the amount of time since you've talked.
It's about that very moment when you're doing something
& wishing they were right there with you.

If you and I are going under, maybe we can both recover..
And find forgiveness for each other...even if this is goodbye.
-Lifehouse

Before you point your fingers, make sure your hands are clean.
-Bob Marley

Once you've got what you want, that's when you've got something to lose,
And what's scarier than that?
-The OC

If you don't go after what you want, you'll never get it.
If you don't ask, the answer is always no.
If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.

When you finally stop aiming for perfection,
You realize that is was a moving target all along.

When you judge someone, you don't define them, you define yourself.

So now i know what i have to do.
I have to keep breathing and tomorrow the sun will rise,
And who knows what the tide will bring in.
--Castaway

I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make
mistakes and can be out of control. At times, I'm
hard to handle but if you can't handle me at
my  worst, then you sure as hell don't
deserve me  at my best.
- Marilyn Monroe

Maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me..
And afterall...you're my wonderwall...
--Oasis

Here's to the nights we felt alive,
Here's to the tears you knew you cried,
Here's to goodbye, tomorrow's gonna come to soon...
--Eve 6

When life knocks you down to your knees,
Remember that you're in the perfect position to pray.

Measure your life in love.

In daylights, and midnights, and sunsets, and cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, and strife.
--Seasons of Love

Live the life you love.
Love the life you live.
--Bob Marley

You have a way of coming easily to me,
And when you take,
You take the very best of me.

I hope its the kind of second side that he can listen to
Whenever he drives alone and feel like he belongs to something
Whenever he's sad. I hope I can be that for him.
--The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I've tried so hard to show my dear that you're my every dream.
Yet you're afraid each thing I do is just some evil scheme.
A memory from your lonesome past keeps us so far apart,
Why can't I free your doubtful mind and melt your cold cold heart?
--Norah Jones

Fairness cannot govern life and death.
For if it did, no good man would ever die young.
--The Five People You Meet In Heaven

So I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons.
And maybe we'll never know most of them.
But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from,
We can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things.
And we can try to feel okay about them.
--The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I like pressure. if i'm not on the edge of failure,
|I'm not being sufficiently challenged.
--Jewel

An angel got his wings and we'll hold our heads up,
Knowing that he’s fine.
We'd all be lucky to have a love like that in a lifetime.
--Bayside

There's nothing like the deep breaths after laughing that hard.
Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.
--The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Come away with me on a bus,
Come away with me where they can't tempt us with their lies...
--Norah Jones

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
--Norah Jones

I'm throwing away pictures
that i never should have taken in the first place
& it's cold in my apartment as i'm changing all the colors
from the brightest reds to grays.
--Mayday Parade

What is cute?
Cute is holding hands in the car & kissing at the red lights.

Unsinkable ships, sink.
Unbreakable walls, break.
Sometimes the things you think that never happen,
Happen just like that.
Unbendable steel, bends.
Like the fury of the wind is unstoppable..
I've learned to never underestimate the impossible.
--Joe Nichols

Friends change. And people leave.
And life doesn't stop for anybody.

If you want to feel rich,
Count all the things you have that money can't buy.

Godspeed little man, sweet dreams little man.
My love will fly to you each night on angels wings.
--Dixie Chicks

You closed your eyes. That was the difference.
Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel.
And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too---even when you are in the dark. Even when you're falling.
--Tuesdays with Morrie

Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.
--Tuesdays with Morrie

Don't attach yourself to anyone who shows you the least bit of attention because you're lonely. Loneliness is the human condition. No one is ever going to fill that space. The best you can do is know yourself.
--White Oldeander

Dreams are always crushing
When they don't come true.
But it's the simple dreams that
Are often the most painful because
They seem so personal, so reasonable,
So attainable.  You're always close enough
To touch but never quite close enough to hold,
& it's enough to break your heart.
--The Notebook

The greatest risk is the one not taken.

The reason so many people
Find it so hard to be happy
Is that they will always see the past
Better than it was, the pesent worse than it is,
& the future less resolved than it will be.

Sometimes we love people so much that we have to be numb to it.
Because if we actually felt how much we loved them, it would kill us.
That doesn't mean you're a bad person, it just means your heart's too big.
--Riding in Cars with Boys

Ever since I was young
I never understood anything
About the world & anything
That happened in my life.
The only thing that ever made sense
To me was you, and how I felt about you.
That's all I've ever known
& that's enough...that's enough for me
For the rest of my life.
--Boy Meets World

I've heard that it's possible to grow up - i've just never met
anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we
break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums
when things don't go our way, we whisper secrets with our
best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can
find it, and we hope - against all logic, against all experience.
like children, we never give up hope.
--Grey's Anatomy

Keep away from people who try to belittle your
ambitions. Small people always do that, but the
really great make you feel that you too, can become great.
--Mark Twain

Hold a mirror to show just what you've become
&& read your diary to see how far you've come.

There's nothing more valuable than having someone
in your life that reminds you of who you are.

Everyone thinks of changing the world,
but no one thinks of changing themself.
--Leo Tolstoy

Breathe. let go, and remind yourself that this very
moment is the only one you know you have for sure.
--Oprah

I decided very early on just to accept life unconditonally;
I never expected it to do anything special for me, yet I
seemed to accomplish far more than I have ever hoped.
Most of the time, it just happened to me without my
ever seeking it.
--Audrey Hepburn

How can I stand here with you & not be moved by you?
Would you tell me, how could it be any better than this?
--Lifehouse "Everything"

Don't give up on your lost causes,
You never know when your luck will change.
--Dawson's Creek

I love living life with you by my side. You're a smart kid with a beautiful smile. And oh, those technicolor eyes.
--Backseat Goodbye

You can't just sit there and wait
for people to give you that golden
dream; you've got to get out there
and make it happen for yourself.
-Diana Ross

When you can't lean on no one else,
That's when you find yourself.
--Lonestar

Look after my heart, I've left it with you.
--Stephanie Meyer

Sometimes in life, you come to a point when you have to
stop listening to others, and start listening to yourself.

Speak the words that others fear to say.

I love you more than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow.

When everything is wrong, we move along.
--All-American Rejects

Each person must live their life as a model for others.
--Rosa Parks

Both tears and sweat are salty, but they render a different result.
Tears will get you sympathy, sweat will get you change.
--Jesse Jackson

There are places in this world that aren't made out of stone. That there's something inside... that they can't get to, that they can't touch. That's yours.
--The Shawshank Redemption

Hope is a good thing--maybe the best of things.
And no good thing ever dies.
--The Shawshank Redemption

I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend.
--The Shawshank Redemption

It was my turn, that's all. I was in the path of a tornado.
I just didn't expect the storm would last as long as it has.
--The Shawshank Redemption

We make a living by what we get.
We make a life by what we give.
--Sir Winston Churchill
