Sue Fitzmaurice

Being a little weird is just a natural side-effect of being awesome.

Oprah Winfrey

Nobody but you is responsible for your life.
It doesn't matter what your mama did; it doesn't matter what your daddy didn't do.
You are responsible for your life. You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you're responsible for the energy that you bring to others.

"Scheinbar" von Lance Butters

Alles was von uns bleibt is'n Kapitel in 'nem Buch mit kompliziertem Titel. Doch trotzdem les' ich's immer wieder, in der Hoffnung, das Ende schreibt sich doch um.

Hafiz

Stay close to anything
that makes you glad
that you're alive.

Socrates

The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our separate ways, I to die, and you to live. Which of these two is better only God knows.

Marylin Monroe

Just because you fail once doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything.

Abraham Lincoln

Whatever you are, be a good one.

"Glücksrad" von Teesy

Wir sind jung, warum sollten wir vernünftig sein?

Don't be sad, be even.

Farblose grüne Ideen schlafen wütend, denn schlafende Ideen sollten farblos grün wüten.

"Unperfekt" von Die Orsons/ Maeckes

Ich bin wer ich bin
Ja das klingt ziemlich dumm, aber nimm mich so hin"
Sage ich zu mir selbst, doch ich selbst hör nicht hin
Weil ich ziemlich selbstzerstörerisch bin
Und plötzlich macht alles kein' Sinn mehr
Imperialistischer Zweifel
Pfeifen ihre Hunde nicht zurück und sie beißen
Jede meiner Sicherheiten
Dann kann ich mich nicht mehr halten
Kippe Alk' in meine Wunden, ess' ein paar Kippenschachteln
Für ein paar Sekunden ist dann alles egal
Und die Null bin nicht ich, sondern einfach ne' Zahl
Und Schuld bin nicht ich, sondern wir alle zusammen
Doch unterm Strich, fassen wir's zusammen
--
Phasenweise find ich alles phänomenal
Und dann gibt's diese Phasen, da sind mir alle Menschen egal
--
Ich bin unperfekt
Jeder kann meine Fehler sehen
Einfach unperfekt
Eine unlesbare DVD
Ich bin unperfekt
Und ich werde wohl nie verstehen
Wie mich so (wie mich so 2x)
Irgendjemand lieben kann (irgendjemand lieben kann)

Bryant McGill

Everyone goes through hell,
but not everyone stays there.
Stop tormenting yourself by
reliving the pain over and over.
Good people go through terrible
things, but wise people know
when and how to let it go.

Leonard Flinch, Grandchester

I say let the world go to hell, as long as I have my tea.

Prince

Despite everything, no one can dictate who you are to other people.

Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter und die Kammer des Schreckens

"Genau", sagte Dumbledore und strahlte abermals. "Und das heißt, du bist ganz anders als Tom Riddle, Harry. Viel mehr als unsere Fähigkeiten sind es unsere Entscheidungen, Harry, die zeigen, wer wir wirklich sind."

Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen

Es ist nicht gut, wenn wir nur unseren Träumen nachhängen und vergessen zu leben.

"Migraine" by Twenty One Pilots

I do not have writer's block,
My writer just hates the clock.
--
'Cause sometimes to stay alive you gotta kill your mind.
Am I the only one I know,
Waging my wars behind my face and above my throat?
Shadows will scream that I'm alone,
But I know we've made it this far, kid.
--
Life has a hopeful undertone.

Petrichor (n.)

The smell of earth after rain.

King John, William Shakespeare

Be great in act as you have been in thought.

"Lady Midnight" by Cassandra Clare

"I tried to stop," he [Julian Blackthorn] said. "That's why I went to England. I thought if I was away from you, maybe I'd stop feeling what I was feeling. But as soon as I got back, the first second that I saw you, I knew it hadn't made any difference." He looked around the room, his expression almost resigned. "Why all these paintings of you? Because I'm an artist, Emma. These pictures are my heart. And if my heart was a canvas, every square inch of it would be painted over with you."

Nikita Gill

She wears strength and darkness equally well,
the girl has always been half goddess, half hell. 

Frank Underwood, House of Cards

Der Weg an die Macht ist mit Heuchelei gepflastert... und Kollateralschäden; kein Platz für Reue.

Katherine, TVD

We manipulate, we thirst for power, we control, we punish, but our actions are driven by one singular place deep inside: We're alone... and we hate it.

Niklaus Mikaelson, TVD

Loneliness, Stefan. That's why you and I memorialise our dead. There's the briefest of moments before we kill where we literally hold their life in our hands. And then we rip it away. And we're left with nothing. So gathering other people's letters or writing their names on a wall is a reminder. That in the end we're left infinitely and utterly alone.

Ekko, League of Legends

People waste a lot of time. Then they wish for more. Want more hours in their days, more days in their years, more years in their lives. As if they had all that extra time, they could fix any mistake. I don't need hours or days or years, I only need seconds. - Here's the thing about time; if you can't make the most out of any given moment, then you don't deserve a single extra second.

"Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me" by The Smiths

Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

Last night I felt
Real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm

She was poetry in a world that was still learning the alphabet.

William A. Ward

The pessimist complains about the wind;
the optimist expects it to change;
the realist adjusts the sails.

"This sentence has five words" by Gary Provost

This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It's like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important. So write with a combination of short, medium, and long sentences. Create a sound that pleases the reader's ear. Don't just write words. Write music.

"3.0 - Letzter Song" von Raf

Die Nacht war lang obwohl sie noch jung schien.
Betäubte Neuronen vom Flutlicht.

...aus heute wird morgen, auf morgen hab ich kein Bock.

Sprichwort

Der lieblichste Ton auf der Welt

Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders

Listen to your convictions even if they seem absurd to your reason.
-Egyptian Proverb

You need a little bit of insanity to do great things.

Dr. SunWolf

Sometimes, eating a thick slice of chocolate fudge cake with ice cream makes you a better person.

I like cancelled plans. And empty bookstores. I like rainy days and thunderstorms. And quiet coffee shops. I like messy beds and over-worn pajamas. Most of all, I like the small joys that a simple life brings.

Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have.

Anna Funder

She was brave
and strong
and broken
all at once.

There is so much hurt in my heart 

and I'm good at hiding it 

but not healing it. 

There is always something eating at me. That's who I am.
