"The Complete Short Stories" by Ernest Hemingway

You're beautiful. You walk wonderfully and if I were here and saw you now for the first time I'd be in love with you. If I saw you for the first time everything would turn over inside of me and I'd ache right through my chest.

Tatiana Maslany

Having a strong female character doesn't mean she's beyond suffering and fragility… That to me is strong writing for women.

Sylvia Plath

August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time.

If I cut you off, chances are, you handed me the scissors.

Daniel Franceze

You either like me or you don't. It took me twenty-something years to learn how to love myself, I don't have that kinda time to convince somebody else.

Michael Biondi

Our bodies were printed as blank pages to be filled with the ink of our hearts.

I thought
Surely you were loved
In grand gestures and loving caresses
With all the beauty of small roses and hungry kisses.
To the great distances of brightly burning stars
I thought
Surely you were loved
And so I went very quiet
Until you went away
Thinking
Surely I did not love you.

"Erasing Faith" by Julie Johnson

Did you ever stop to think that even if I am a monster, I might be your soulmate anyway?

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.

Dr. Seuss

We're all a little weird and life is weird,
and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness and call it true love.

Charles Bukowski

Love breaks my bones and I laugh.

"Beloved" by Toni Morrison

She is a friend of mind.
She gather me, man.
The pieces I am,
she gather them
and give them back to me
in all the right order.
It’s good, you know,
when you got a woman
who is a friend of your mind…

"The Post-Office Girl" by Stefan Zweig

Time to leave now, get out of this room, go somewhere, anywhere; sharpen this feeling of happiness and freedom, stretch your limbs, fill your eyes, be awake, wider awake, vividly awake in every sense and every pore.

"Ruin and Rising" by Leigh Bardugo

Beauty was your armor. Fragile stuff, all show. But what's inside you? That's steel. It's brave and unbreakable. And it doesn't need fixing.

Dwayne Johnson (The Rock)

Being a true bad ass has no weight or gender requirement - just 100% commitment to greatness.

Jean de La Fontaine

Rare as is true love,
true friendship is rarer.

Soul Eater, Intro

Eine gesunde Seele wohnt in einem gesunden Geist und in einem gesunden Körper.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.

Albert Camus

Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park… It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself… That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.
