    Thisuri Wanniarachchi
    “She smiled. She was happy, yet sad. Life had never been more bittersweet. She looked at the
    sunset. The pink sky was sinking into the deep blue ocean. It was almost as if the sky knew
    it was making a mistake, digging its own grave. But for a moment there, at the very moment
    before diving into the darkness of the sea, on the golden horizon, the sky shone brighter
    than it ever had. It was glorious in its five seconds of fame. It was serendipitously happy,
    like all its life had led to that moment. And then it died into the sea, content.”
    Thisuri Wanniarachchi, The Terrorist's Daughter

    E.E. Cummings
    “I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)I am never without it (anywhere
    I go you go,my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing,my darling)
    I fear no fate (for you are my fate,my sweet)I want no world (for beautiful you are my world,my true)
    and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you

    here is the deepest secret nobody knows
    (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
    higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
    and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

    I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)”
    E.E. Cummings

    John Lennon
    “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”
    John Lennon

  • #16

  • #21
    Anthon St. Maarten
    “Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a 'hot mess' or having 'too many issues' are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.”
    Anthon St. Maarten

    Laurell K. Hamilton, Mistral's Kiss

  • #24
    James Baldwin
    “I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”
    James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

    Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
    “Of all the words of mice and men, the saddest are, "It might have been.”
    Kurt Vonnegut

  • #26
    Fernando Pessoa
    “The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
    Fernando Pessoa

  • #27
    Nina LaCour

    Nina LaCour, Hold Still

    Mercedes Lackey

  • #29
    Neil Gaiman
    “We were never lovers, and we never will be, now. I do not regret that, however. I regret the conversations we never had, the time we did not spend together. I regret that I never told him that he made me happy, when I was in his company. The world was the better for his being in it. These things alone do I now regret: things left unsaid. And he is gone, and I am old.”
    Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 10: The Wake
