Life 39....

If you don't know what you want, you end up with a lot you don't -Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

House: Are you going to base your whole life on who you're stuck in a room with?
Eve: I'm gonna base this moment on who I am stuck in a room with! It's what life is, it's a series of rooms, and who we get stuck in those rooms with, adds up to what our lives are.
-House

The best thing about dreams is that one fleeting moment, when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when for just that one moment, you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened.

It's the magic of risking everything, for a dream nobody sees but you. -Million Dollar Baby

It just seems like, you agree to have a certain personality or something. For no reason. Just to make things easier for everyone. But when you think about it, I mean, how do you know it's even you? - My So-Called Life

We lead our lives like water flowing down a hill, going more or less in one direction until we splash into something that forces us to find a new course. -Memoirs of a Geisha

There are many reasons why novelists write - but they all have one thing in common: a need to create an alternative world. -John Fowles

We all need something we consider worth getting up in the morning for. Whether it's real or not; healthy or destructive; tangible or false is irrelevant... when you've got nothing to hang onto, deception can seem pretty inviting.

Just don't give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don't think you can go wrong. - Ella Fitzgerald

There's nothing you can do about the past. 
But, you can do a great deal about your future. 
You don't have to be the same person you were yesterday. 
You can make changes in your life -- absolutely startling changes -- 
in a fairly short time. 
You can make changes you can't even conceive of now, 
if you give yourself a chance.
- Jim Rohn

Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life that you expect it to always be there. Because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't but then one day you feel something else. something that feels wrong, only because its so unfamiliar. then in that moment you realize you're happy. -One Tree Hill

Time changes everything. That's what people say. It's not true. Doing things changes things. Not doing things leaves them exactly as they were. -House

Life becomes bearable only when one has come to terms with who one is, both in one's own eyes and in the eyes of the world. We all of us must come to terms with what and who we are, and recognize that this wisdom is not going to earn us any praise, that life is not going to pin a medal on us for recognizing and enduring our own vanity or egoism or baldness or our pot-belly. No, the secret is that there's no reward and we have to endure our characters and our natures as best as we can, because no amount of experience or insight is going to rectify our deficiencies, or our self-regard. - Sandor Marai, Embers

Many of our fears are tissue paper thin, and a single courageous step would carry us clear through them. -Brendan Francis

All I'd ever wanted was to forget. But even when I thought I had, pieces had kept emerging, like bits of wood floating up to the surface that only hint at the shipwreck below.- Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

You just have to focus on things that never change. Like the stars. Those are always the same stars, man. In a hundred years no ones going to have a clue who we were, but they'll know those same stars. -Imaginary Heroes

Did you ever wonder if the person in the puddle is real, and you're just a reflection of him? - Calvin and Hobbes

We don't always get to choose the truths God reveals to us--But we do get to choose what we do with that truth--Whom we share it with and how. - Carol Goodman, The Seduction of Water

She's not like that now. She knows better . She knows now that people lie , and promises can be broken as quick as they are made . She understands that she might never be loved , and too quickly good things fly in front of your eyes before you can reach out and grab them . She knows that you can't change or help time, so every now and then it will just run out. There isn't a place for everyone in the world, so if you're standing alone for awhile, that's why. Not everything in life comes easy , but when you work the hardest, that's when it's the best . You can't always expect people to care, and even when your best friends stab you in the front, don't think for one minute that they didn't already aim for your back. They missed for a reason. She has found out to soon, that in the end, you are your own best friend . Everyone will be broken at some point in their life and more often than not , its gonna hurt like hell . But you can't stop it. You can't change your fate. Some things are meant to be and all the pain you go through will end up resulting in something huge . You don't know what it is and when it happens, it will hit you like a ton of bricks. At some point, when you have experienced everything you can, the words 'Life' and 'Risk' won't mean anything to you anymore. But don't try and change that. Stuff like that is meant to happen. Overtime, certain things no longer have an affect on you . And that happens because that's the way it supposed to be . But you'll learn all that later in life when little things like a sunrise or a spring rain start to matter. But it might catch you off guard and happen sooner .

It's hard to think about growing up when you're right in the middle of doing it. It's hard to know what you want. Sometimes there are so many voices in your head it's difficult to know which of them is yours. -Kevin Brooks, Lucas
