Spending time with you showed me what I’ve been missing in my life.
When I look in the mirror, I know I’m looking at someone who isn’t sure she deserves to be loved at all.
Life, he realize, was much like a song. In the beginning there is mystery, in the end there is confirmation, but it’s in the middle where all the emotion resides to make the whole thing worthwhile.
I don’t know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change.
My wife, my family, my friends – they’ve all taught me things about love and what that emotion really means. In a nutshell, loving someone is about giving, not receiving.
Maybe we’ve lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we’ve found each other… I know I’ve spent each life before this one searching for you. Not someone like you but you, for your soul and mine must always come together.
You can’t live your life for other people. You’ve got to do what’s right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.
Our lives can’t be measured by our final years, of this I am sure.
Never forget that anticipation is an important part of life. Work’s important, family’s important, but without excitement, you have nothing. You’re cheating yourself if you refuse to enjoy what’s coming.
We’d met at a carefree time, a moment full of promise, in its place now were the harsh lessons of the real world.
I am lost without you. I am soulless, a drifter without a home, a solitary bird in a flight to nowhere. I am all these things, and I am nothing at all. This, my darling, is my life without you. I long for you to show me how to live again.
Every time I read to her, it was like I was courting her, because sometimes, just sometimes, she would fall in love with me again, just like she had a long time ago. And that’s the most wonderful feeling in the world. How many people are ever given that chance? To have someone you love fall in love with you over and over?
Their fingers seemed to fit together in just the right way- effortlessly clasped,like perfect complements.
If you simply ignored the feeling, you would never know what might happen, and in many ways that was worse than finding out in the first place. Because if you were wrong, you could go forward in your life without ever looking back over your shoulder and wondering what might have been.
No matter where it is in the sky… No matter where you are in the world… the moon is never bigger than your thumb. -John
I’ve been doing this a long time, and I’ve come to learn that predictions don’t mean much. Too much lies outside the realm of medical knowledge. A lot of what happens next comes down to you and your specific genetics, your attitude. No, there’s nothing we can do to stop the inevitable, but that’s not the point. The point is that you should try to make the most of the time you have left.
It was a lesson that I would learn in time though it wasn’t Hegbert who taught me.
When you chase a dream, you learn about yourself. You learn your capabilities and limitations, and the value of hard work and persistence.
In the end you should always do the right thing even if it’s hard.
Our lives can’t be measured by our final years, of this I am sure.
There are moments when I wish I could roll back the clock and take all the sadness away, but I have the feeling that if I did, the joy would be gone as well.
You should read something else.Why would he have done that to him?I don’t know, she said.Do you ever feel like Job?She smiled, a little twinkle in her eyes.Sometimes.But you haven’t lost your faith?No, I knew she hadn’t, but I think I was losing mine.Is it because you think you might get better?No, she said,its because its the only thing I have left.
Mom says it’s because she has PMS.Do you even know what that means?I’m not a little kid anymore. It means pissed-at- men syndrome
I’m stuck babysitting turtle eggs while a volleyball player slash grease monkey slash aquarium volunteer tries to hit on me.” I’m not hitting on you,” he protested.No?”Believe me, you’d know if I was hitting on you. You wouldn’t be able to stop yourself from succumbing to my charms.
It hadn’t been so long ago, yet sometimes she felt that she’d been an altogether different person back then.
When we first met, I didn’t want to get involved with anyone. I didn’t have the time or energy, and I wasn’t sure that I was ready for it. But you were so good to me, and I got swept up in that. And little by little, I found myself falling in love with you.
Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can’t get any better, it can.
Love doesn’t mean anything if you’re not willing to make a commitment, and you have to think not only about what you want, but about what he wants. Not just now, but in the future.
I’ve come to believe that in everyone’s life, there’s one undeniable moment of change, a set of circumstances that suddenly alters everything.
It is the possibility that keeps me going, and though you may call me a dreamer or a fool or any other thing, I believe that anything is possible.
Do you know what you’re saying when you say, “Whatever”? It’s just a code word for the f-word, followed by “you.” And at your age, you never, ever. say that to anyone.’ ” Blaze leaned back. “So now, when someone says it to me, I just say, ‘You too.’ (72)
