"It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace."
Diary by Chuck Palahniuk (via quote-book)
"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
Ayn Rand - Russian-born American Author (via justbesplendid)

"Afterall, life is just a play - or an opera. It would be easier for all of us if we could watch only the highlights. Instead, we must endure convoluted plot twists and excruciating moments of suspense. We sit in the dark - threatened by vague menaces. Of course, those of us in the audience can always walk out ; but the players have no choice. Once the curtain goes up they have to perform the play from beginning to end. they have nowhere to hide."
