Quotes.

I found this really nice collection of quotes that I thought I'd share with you all. They are all originals of a friend of mine, and I love the openness and vulnerability that they give out. So here they are:

''Me? I wanted you to fight for me. And tell me that you would rather be alone than with anyone else.''

''God help you if you are an ugly girl, because too pretty is also your doom, 'cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room.''

''I’m not afraid of heights, swimming, or love. Just falling, drowning, and rejection.''

''Because you're nothing until you're talked about.''

''One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you.
I’d been broken beyond repair.''


''I’ll tell you a secret. Something they don’t teach you in your temple. The Gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.''

''And maybe I found comfort in the words you said. Not from laying in your arms. They were the words i needed to hear, and it didn’t matter who from. It wasn’t puppy love or infatuation. Or love at first sight or anything that people always talk about and laugh. Maybe you don’t know just what I mean. I can’t really explain it, it’s so hard to put into words, but, well, it was just something I’d never felt before. Something I’d never even known. People can’t just tell you about things like that, you have to find them out for yourself. That’s why it is so important. It was something I’ll always remember because I just couldn’t forget.''

''Speak the truth. Even if your voice shakes.''

''Unless it’s mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it’s a waste of your time. There are too many mediocre things in life, and love shouldn’t be one of them.''

''& nothing's gonna change destiny, whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly.''

''At this moment there are 6,470,818,671 people in the world. Some are running scared. Some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes -- all you need is one.''
