Nicholas Sparks
- Growing up
It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that the people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.
Michael Daaboul
- Fear
It grabs you by the throat and it leaves your heart hanging. Your eyes dilate and you feel like you want to run away. Sometimes it comes without no warning and you want to hide. When it hits, you feel as if there is no one that can save you. When everything is alright again, from time to time, it will remind you.
Lincoln Park
- Runaway
I want to run away, never say goodbye. I want to know the truth, instead of wondering why. I wanna know the answers, no more lies! I wanna shut the door, and open my mind!
Teal Scott
A thousand times we die in one life. We crumble, break and tear apart until the layers of illusion are burned away and all that is left, is the truth of who and what we really are.

- Special
People think that the most painful thing in life is losing the one you value. The truth is the most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of valuing someone too much and forgetting that you are SPECIAL too.

- Pursuit of Happiness
Don't ever let someone tell you you can't do something. Not even me, all right? You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you, "You can't do it." You want something, go get it. Period.

- Life
The important thing is not how long you live. It's what you accomplish with your life. While I live, I want to shine. I want to prove that I exist. If I could do something really important, that would definitely carry on to into the future. And so, if I were to disappear, I think that all I have accomplished will go on. That is, that would mean it's living, right?

- Words of Encouragement
Keep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over gain, and you will grow stronger until have accomplished a purpose -not the one you began with perhaps, but one you'll be glad to remember.

- trust
What you say about this world I do not quite agree with; I think it a very good world, and only requires a person to be reasonable in his expectations, and not to trust too much to others.
John Green, Paper Towns
- mystery
Margo always loved mysteries. And in everything that came afterward, I could never stop thinking that maybe she loved mysteries so much that she became one.
Stephen King, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption: A Story from Different Seasons
- Birds/Friends
Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild. So you let them go, or when you open the cage to feed them they somehow fly out past you. And the part of you that knows it was wrong to imprison them in the first place rejoices, but still, the place where you live is that much more drab and empty for their departure.
C. JoyBell C.
- courage
We can't be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better.
John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany
- Memory
Your memory is a monster; you forget - it doesn't. It simply files things away. It keeps things for you, or hides things from you - and summons them to your recall with will of its own. You think you have a memory; but it has you!
Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl
- Hope
It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.
Susan Sontag
- Time
All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person's (or thing's) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time's relentless melt.
Vincent van Gogh
- Art
It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.
― George Bernard Shaw
- world
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
