You say that you love rain,
but you open your umbrella when it rains...
You say that you love the sun,
but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines...
You say that you love the wind,
But you close your windows when wind blows...
This is why I am afraid;
You say that you love me too...

People think that being alone makes you lonely, but I don't think it's true. Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world.

We cannot teach people anything, we can only help them discover it within themselves.

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That is its balance.

Amor Fati – “Love Your Fate”, which is in fact your life.

Let go, or be dragged.

"I don't believe people are searching for the meaning of life. I believe they are searching for that feeling of being alive."

you’ll never find the right person, if you never let go of the wrong one.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it.

Love me when I least deserve it because that is when I really need it.

You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful and then you actually talk to them and five minutes later they're as dull as a brick? Then there's other people, when you meet them you think, "Not bad. They're okay." And then you get to know them and... and their face just sort of becomes them. Like their personality's written all over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful.

Better an end with horror, than a horror without end.

There is nothing so bad, that it is not good for something.
