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.
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.
The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.
Do not let the hero in your soul perish.
Do you have it? Good. Now believe it can come true.
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. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.
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.
Perhaps we all give the best of our hearts uncritically--to those who hardly think about us in return.
Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach.
There is a tide in the affairs of men
It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.
For Reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and Passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.
You can't run away from yourself
There is a time in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune.
Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.
There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.
Remember tonight... for it is the beginning of always.
