It's the good girls who keep diaries; the bad girls never have the time.
They say it's the good girls who keep diaries. The bad girls never have the time. Me, I just wanna live a life I'm gonna remember even if I don't write it down.
Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true.
There is a tide in the affairs of men
To be nobody-but-yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
Do not let your fire go out.
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all.

As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment.

Going for character: why not now, and where you stand?
We must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
There is a time in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.
