I thoroughly disapprove of duels. If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.
Mark Twain -
There’s a big difference between trying to do something and actually doing it. We often say we’re trying to do something-losing weight, getting more exercise, finding a job. But the truth is, we’re either doing it or not doing it.
Tina Seelig -
I want to try making things right because picking up the pieces is way better than leaving them the way they are.
Simone Elkeles -
When I walked down the streets, I asked myself, are these my people?, is this my hometown, am I who I am?
Azar Nafisi -
Perhaps if we saw what was ahead of us, and glimpsed the follies, and misfortunes that would befall us later on, we would all stay in our mother’s wombs, and then there would be nobody in the world but a great number of very fat, very irritated women.
Lemony Snicket -
Carefully laid plans aren’t always the best. Sometimes Plan B is the real dream come true.
S.J.D. Peterson -
I’ve learned to value failed conversations, missed connections, confusions. What remains is what’s unsaid, what’s underneath. Understanding on another level of being.
Anna Kamieńska -
People fall so in love with their pain, they can’t leave it behind. The same as the stories they tell. We trap ourselves.
Chuck Palahniuk -
Children bleed as easy as anyone else, don’t they? Why would they be spared? A child is nothing but a future enemy.
Brian McClellan -
The dead are selfish:
They make us cry, and they don’t care,
They stay quiet in the most inconvenient places,
They refuse to walk, and we have to carry them
On our backs to the tomb…Angel Gonzalez
