Anne Sexton

Watch out for intellect, because it knows so much it knows nothing and leaves you hanging upside down, mouthing knowledge as your heart falls out of your mouth.

Apparently, people get offended when you treat them the way they treated you.

"The Evil We Love" by Cassandra Clare

"What about you? Do you think you know what it would feel like?"
"Love?" Michael smiled down at his hands. "Love, real love, is being seen. Being known. Knowing the ugliest part of someone, and loving them anyway. And ... I guess I think two people in love become something else, something more than the sum of their parts, you know? That it must be like you're creating a new world that exists just for the two of you. You're gods of your own pocket universe." He laughed a little then, as if h felt foolish. "That must sound ridiculous."
"No," Robert said, the truth dawning over him.

Mark Twain

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. Sail away from the safe harbor. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Nietzsche

We have left the land and have embarked. We have burned our bridges behind us –indeed, we have gone farther and destroyed the land behind us. Now, little ship, look out! Beside you is the ocean: to be sure, it does not always roar, and at times it lies spread out like silk and gold and reveries of graciousness. But hours will come when you realize that it is infinite and that there is nothing more awesome than infinity. Oh, the poor bird that felt free now strikes the walls of this cage! Woe, when you feel homesick for the land as if it had offered more freedom–and there is no longer any "land."

Wie der Wind sich hebt (2013)

Le vent se lève, il faut tenter de vivre.

Der Wind hebt sich, wir müssen versuchen zu leben.

William Shakespeare

Your lips are like wine, and I like to get drunk.

"Deadhouse Gates" by Steven Erikson

Why do we cling to what we lose while we ignore what we still hold?

Ernest Hemingway

I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake.

Serbian Proverb

Be humble for you are made of earth.
Be noble for you are made of stars.

Niklaus Mikaelson, TVD

He's your first love,
I intend to be your last..
however long it takes.

Albert Camus

The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.

Captain Jack Sparrow

The problem is not the problem.
The problem is your attitude about the problem.
Do you understand?

Der Herr der Ringe: Die Gefährten, 2001

Ein Zauberer kommt nie zu spät,
ebenso wenig wie zu früh.
Er trifft genau dann ein,
wann er es beabsichtigt.

-Gandalf

In Your Eyes, 2014

The best thing -the only thing about me
that I like.. is you.

-Dylan

Chris Golfer

There is nothing
wrong with you.
There's a lot wrong with
the world you live in.

Ernest Gaines

Why is it that
as a culture, we are
more comfortable
seeing two men
holding guns,
than holding hands?

Hayao Miyazaki

Many of my movies have strong female leads -
brave, self-sufficient girls that don't think twice about
fighting for what they believe in with all their heart.
They'll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a savior.
Any woman is just capable of being a hero as any man.

Joanne K. Rowling

All these people saying they never got their Hogwarts letter: you got the letter. You went to Hogwarts. We were all there together.
Of course it happened inside your head, but why on earth should that mean it wasn't real.

Erin Hanson

There is freedom waiting for you, on the breezes of the sky.
And you ask "What if I fall?"
Oh but my darling, What if you fly?

Traditional Celtic marriage vows

You cannot possess me for I belong to myself
But while we both wish it, I give you that which is mine to give
You cannot command me, for I am a free person
But I shall serve you in those ways you require
and the honeycomb will taste sweeter coming from my hand.

I pledge to you that yours will be the name I cry aloud in the night.
And the eyes into which I smile in the morning.
I pledge to you the first bite from my meat,
And the first drink from my cup.
I pledge to you my living and dying, equally in your care,
And tell no strangers our grievances.
This is my wedding vow to you.
This is a marriage of equals.

And beyond this, I will cherish and honor you through this life,
and into the next.

Nizar Qabbani

The most dangerous heart disease: Strong memory.

"The Unwritten Rule" by Elizabeth Scott

I'm broken, I have cut myself wide open. I can see my heart and it is not what I believed it was, it is not good and kind and all the things I have always thought I am.

Tom Hiddleston

RESPONSIBILITY IS POWER.
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE
CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS,
AND THE WORLD IS YOURS.
EVERYTHING IS A CHOICE.

Tom Hiddleston

The best revenge against bullies is absolutely, resolutely, never to let them change who you are. Know that whatever bullies say or do - it comes from their weakness, not yours.

Tom Hiddleston

LIFE IS GENERALLY PRETTY DAMN AMAZING IF YOU LET IT BE.

Tom Hiddleston

Never, ever, let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do. Prove the cynics wrong. Pity them for they have no imagination. The sky’s the limit. Your sky. Your limit. Now. Let’s dance.
