Life 45....

Life is like photography: you use the negatives to develop.

You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow , too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winnin' and losin'! Between livin' and dyin'! I'll tell ya this: In any fight, it's the guy who's willin' to die who's gonna win that inch. And I know if I'm gonna have any life anymore, it's because I'm still willin' to fight and die for that inch. Because that's what livin' is! -Any Given Sunday

Take pride in your pain. You are stronger than those who have none.

The lower your self-esteem is, the more likely you are to believe that someone else holds the key to your happiness.

There's some illogical part of me that still believes if you want superman to show up, first there's got to be someone worth saving. -Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper

I used to think when I got older , the world would make so much more sense. But you know what? The older I get, The more confusing it is to me. The more complicated it is to me. You'd think we'd get better at it. -Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

I don't really believe in regrets. All my experiences, even the ones that didn't turn out the way I wanted them to, I firmly believe they were all worth it. -Gilmore Girls

By three methods we may learn wisdom:
First, by reflection, which is noblest;
Second, by imitation, which is easiest;
And third by experience, which is the bitterest.
- Confucius

I guess all we can do is live our lives with as much kindness and decency as possible, and try not to dwell on God standing over us with a giant shovel. -Malcom in the Middle

Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? -Evan Almighty

The truth is rarely pure and never simple. -Oscar Wilde

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. -Theodore Roosevelt

If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals. -Harry Potter

She is my friend. She's my family. My insides. She will be fine because she has to be fine. That's how important she is to me. -Sex & the City

People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder.  This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves. -Salma Hayek

It's all about hiding the crazy and acting like the most confident girl in the room. -Scrubs

Not being able to do everything is no excuse for not doing everything you can. -Ashleigh Brilliant

I am grateful that somehow we are made, in the most trying of times, to just block out everything and KEEP GOING, even when you have no idea what to do or how it will all work out. There is such a fine, thin edge between life and death, and I'm also grateful that we're able to forget about that, for the most part, in our day to day lives. -Sarah Dessen
