“This life is what you make it. No matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”
― Marilyn Monroe

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Everything you can imagine is real.”

“ماذا عرفت عن الحياة، أنا الذي عاش حياته بحذر؟ الذي لم يكسب أو يخسر، بل سمح للحياة بأن تحدث له فقط؟ الذي كان لديه الطموحات ورضي بسرعة بعدم تحقيقها؟ الذي تفادى أن يتعرض للألم وأسمى ذلك القدرة على البقاء على قيد الحياة، الذي دفع فواتيره وبقي على علاقة طيبة مع كل شخص بقدر ما كان ذلك ممكنا، الذي سرعان ما صارت النشوة واليأس بالنسبة إليه مجرد كلمتين قرأهما ذات مرة في الروايات؟ الذي لم تصبه توبيخاته الذاتية بألم حقيقي؟ حسنا، كان هناك كل ذلك للتفكر فيه، في حين كنت أحمل نوعا خاصا من الندم، أفكر في ألم وقع بعد طول انتظار على شخص كان دائما يعتقد أنه يعرف كيف يتفادى التعرض للألم، ووقع الألم من أجل هذا السبب بالذات.”
― جوليان بارنز, The Sense of an Ending

“I don’t like the idea of “understanding” a film. I don’t believe that rational understanding is an essential element in the reception of any work of art. Either a film has something to say to you or it hasn’t. If you are moved by it, you don’t need it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.”
― Federico Fellini

“Put yourself into life and never lose your openness, your childish enthusiasm throughout the journey that is life, and things will come your way.”

“إلهي
لست أدري ما أريد
و لا عم تبحث عيوني المتعبه
و لم أصبح هذا القلب حزيناً

إني أبتعد عمن أعرفهم
كي أستطيع الإنصات لأنات
قلبي المريض

حين استمعوا إلى قصائدي
رموني بالورود
و حين انزويت
اتهموني بالجنون”
― فروغ فرخزاد, تشرق الشمس

“كل رغبة تبعث في داخلي رغبة مضادة، بحيث، مهما فعلت، لا أجد قيمة إلا لما لم أفعل.”
