Sometimes quiet people really do have a lot to say … They’re just being careful about who they open up to.

Susan Gale

She did not need much, wanted very little. A kind word, sincerity, fresh air, clean water, a garden, kisses, books to read, sheltering arms, a cozy bed, and to love and be loved in return.

Starra Neely Blade

One of the most amazing things that can happen is finding someone who sees everything you are and won’t let you be anything less. They see the potential in you. They see endless possibilities. And through their eyes, you start to see yourself the same way. As someone who matters. As someone who can make a difference in this world.

Susane Colasanti

People can be terribly monstrous, but the remarkable thing about life is, you don't have to be. They can have claws ready to rip out hearts' but the way I see it, like sunlight caught in a web of darkness, you can keep a sewing kit in your pocket.

Ekta Somera

You are not broken. You can love and be loved, despite what may feel like the eternally brutal nature of the world. Even when you’re drowning and so far under, there is always time to reach for someone who will teach you how to breathe again.

Jessica Park

It's not about being the best. It's about being better than you were yesterday.

And that was what destroyed you in the end: the longing for something you could never have.

Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom (via perfectquote)

Tell your secret to the wind, but don’t blame it for telling the trees.

Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns

Do right. Do your best. Treat others as you want to be treated.

Lou Holtz

To be touched - truly touched - that’s what I’m looking for. To unfold at a brush of skin like a rare flower blooming. To be surfaced at the curl of fingertips around my soul. I am so tired of shallow fun. I want my heart to shudder at a touch, to whisper, “here, here, it’s all yours.

Beau Taplin

Nobody looks good in their darkest hours. But it’s those hours that make us what we are.

Karen Marie Moning, Faefever (via quotefeeling)

To love a handful of people very well, that’s a good life.

Emily Henry, A Million Junes

Some people are in your life to test you …. Until you stand up and say: Enough is enough. I am worth more than you offer me.

Unknown

Because you are right, does not mean, I am wrong. You just haven’t seen life from my side.

Unknown

I don’t want to sit around and hope good things will happen. I want to make them happen. I want to be in control of my own destiny.

Drew Barrymore

Being with you never felt wrong. It’s the one thing I did right. You’re the one thing I did right.

Becca Fitzpatrick, Crescendo
