“Everybody has a home team: It’s the people you call when you get a flat tire or when something terrible happens. It’s the people who, near or far, know everything that’s wrong with you and love you anyways. These are the ones who tell you their secrets, who get themselves a glass of water without asking when they’re at your house. These are the people who cry when you cry. These are your people, your middle-of-the-night, no-matter-what people.”
—Shauna Niequist, Bittersweet
“Do you really want to look back on your life and see how wonderful it could have been had you not been afraid to live it?”
—Caroline Myss (via longlivejava)
“Anyone with a heart (and a chin) knows that the function of the chin is so much more than a bridge between our jawbones. It’s there to be kept up when the times are hard. It’s there to lean against a lover’s shoulder, or rest against a clenched fist. It’s there to measure the length of a tear, a finishing line if you will.”
—Jens Lekman
“I’m not saying it’s going to be easy. Nothing in life is easy. But that’s no reason to give up. You’ll be surprised what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. After all, you only have one life, so you should try to make the most of it.”
—Louis Sachar, Holes (via simply-quotes)
“It is a joy to be with her because everything matters in her life. Nothing is shallow or trite or superficial. She’s very funny and smart and compassionate—a magnificent human. Because she’s been exploring her own soul for so long, she knows herself inside and out. She’s at peace, and it’s contagious.”
—Rob Bell
“I’m a person who relies very heavily on intuition and feeling out the situation, so I’ve never really made a five-year plan or anything like that, if it’s right, it will fall into place and if not, I understand.”
—Emma Stone
“She kissed as if she, alone, could forge the signature of the sun.”
—Saul Williams

—Kate DiCamillo
“Find a woman who makes you feel more alive. She won’t make life perfect but she’ll make it infinitely more interesting. And then love her with all that’s in you.”
—Gayle G. Roper (via beatboxgoesthump)
“Do not chase people. Be you and do your own thing and work hard. The right people who belong in your life will come to you, and stay.”
—Wu Tang (via ashleighadeline)

—Lady Antebellum (via makersandmonograms)
“It’s a beautiful thing if you learn to be independent and strong on your own. To not always depend on others. Because you know that you can’t trust everyone in this world. People come and go. And if you learn to be happy on your own, and someone else comes along that is able to add on to that happiness of yours—it’s a feeling like no other.”

“If I knew that this would be the last time you pass through this door, I’d embrace you, kiss you, and call you back for one more. If I knew that this would be the last time I would hear your voice, I’d take hold of each word to be able to hear it over and over again. If I knew this is the last time I see you, I’d tell you I love you, and would not just assume foolishly you know it already.”
—Gabriel García Márquez
“Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage, just literally twenty seconds of embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.”
—Benjamin Mee, We Bought a Zoo (via simply-quotes)
