Sometimes, the smallest things take up the most room in your heart

But I love your feet
only because they walked
upon the earth and upon
the wind and upon the waters,
until they found me.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.

It's a curious thought, but it's only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.

Never judge a book by its movie.

People were meant to be loved
Stuff was meant to be used
The reason why we're so unhappy is because
People are being used and
Stuff is being loved.

The way a book smells when you thumb through it. The way quiet winter air makes you feel like no one else exists. The smell of the woods after a thunderstorm. That split second before your chair tips back. The feeling right before you cry. The euphoria before the heartbreak. That moment when you wonder if they think of you the way you think of them. These things, I live for.

You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.

We’re so caught up in trying to do everything, experience all the essential things, not miss out on anything important...We can’t read all the good books, watch all the good films, go to all the best cities in the world, try all the best restaurants, meet all the great people...Life is better when we don’t try to do everything. Learn to enjoy the slice of life you experience, and life turns out to be wonderful.

We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

All our young lives we search for someone to love,
someone who makes us complete.
We chose partners and change partners.
We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope
all the while wondering if somewhere and somehow
there is someone searching for us.

When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life.

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

It is very important that you only do what you love to do. You may be poor, you may go hungry, you may lose your car, you may have to move into a shabby place to live, but you will totally live. And at the end of your days you will bless your life because you have done what you came here to do.
