    Marissa Meyer
    “Maybe there isn’t such a thing as fate. Maybe it’s just the opportunities we’re given, and what we do with them. I’m beginning to think that maybe great, epic romances don’t just happen. We have to make them ourselves.”
    Marissa Meyer, Cress

    “Wherever life takes you, leave the place shaking, disrupted and trying to imagine what it was like before you came. Be a force for change. For pondering. And re-pondering. For love and the belief in the good of people. Go forth and be a force of the awesome. Do epic, terrifying, unheard of shit. Whatever makes you happy. And drugs. And other "bad" things. And fall in love. If nothing else, fall in love.”
    Jordan Lejuwaan

    Johnny B. Truant
    “Stop waiting for someone to give you what you want. The universe is too busy to care. It has worlds to create and galaxies to destroy. If you're worried about death and about your own end, don't. It's coming whether you like it or not. You will either arrive at the end of your life in style or you will arrive broken and beaten, but whichever way you choose, have no doubt that you WILL ARRIVE. There is only now. If you have power, it's now. If you can change anything, you have to do it now. If you want to be or to have that next great thing, be it. Have it. Take it. Own it. Do it. Become it. Be awesome. Do epic shit. Do it now. The clock is ticking.”
    Johnny B. Truant, The Universe Doesn't Give a Flying Fuck About You

    Nyrae Dawn
    “Jaden: "Dude, you've found something wrong with every girl. I'm about to play this one solo if you can't make up your mind."
    Bastian: "We're not trying to decide between a Big Mac or a chicken sandwich here. This is some serious shit. We want epicness, we have to be choosy.”
    Nyrae Dawn, What a Boy Wants

    Johnny B. Truant
    “My point was that if you ever want to live the time you have to live, you need to get over yourself. All eyes are not on you. Nobody will care if you try something and fail. You know that Adam Sandler thing, "They're all going to laugh at you?" Nobody's going to laugh. Nobody gives a shit.”
    Johnny B. Truant, How to Live Forever

    Johnny B. Truant
    “In my past, there's also an opportunity I could have taken advantage of that I didn't, and that I wish I had. There's a thing I got rid of that I really wish I'd kept. But the train never backs up. Never. I missed those things, and I will never get a second chance. Do yourself a favor, right now, and realize two things: 1. You will keep getting older, and then you will die. 2. Everything that's ever entered your experience has lasted and will continue to last for only a brief moment in the life of the universe. This is game time, champ. You're in. You're in, playing, right now, and the clock is ticking. So stop wondering what it all means and how you'll possibly ever do X and what people will think, and get on with your life already. Stop being a pussy and go do something amazing. *** DO EPIC SHIT.”
    Johnny B. Truant, The Universe Doesn't Give a Flying Fuck About You

    Johnny B. Truant
    “Most people think that they need to be tapped on the shoulder by the Epic Fairy if they ever hope to be epic, or if they're ever going to have the audacity to do something truly epic. But it's not true. Want to be epic? Just do epic shit. There's nothing else to it.”
    Johnny B. Truant, The Universe Doesn't Give a Flying Fuck About You

    Maya Angelou
    “Courage is the most important of all the virtues because without courage, you can't practice any other virtue consistently.”
    Maya Angelou

  • #12
    Judith McNaught
    “There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listen to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it.”
    Judith McNaught, Remember When

    Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

  • #14
    Nicholas Sparks
    “We sit silently and watch the world around us. This has taken a lifetime to learn. It seems only the old are able to sit next to one another and not say anything and still feel content. The young, brash and impatient, must always break the silence. It is a waste, for silence is pure. Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.”
    Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

    Jonathan Safran Foer
    “Songs are as sad as the listener.”
    Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close

  • #16
    Philip K. Dick
    “Maybe each human being lives in a unique world, a private world different from those inhabited and experienced by all other humans. . . If reality differs from person to person, can we speak of reality singular, or shouldn't we really be talking about plural realities? And if there are plural realities, are some more true (more real) than others? What about the world of a schizophrenic? Maybe it's as real as our world. Maybe we cannot say that we are in touch with reality and he is not, but should instead say, His reality is so different from ours that he can't explain his to us, and we can't explain ours to him. The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication ... and there is the real illness.”
    Philip K. Dick

    Aldous Huxley
    “There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.”
    Aldous Huxley

    “The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.”
    Robertson Davies, Tempest-Tost

  • #19
    David Hume
    “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.”
    David Hume, Of the Standard of Taste and Other Essays

  • #20
    Irving Berlin
    “Life is 10 percent what you make it
    and 90 percent how you take it.”
    Irving Berlin

  • #21
    Derek Landy
    “The fact is that we have no way of knowing if the person who we think we are is at the core of our being. Are you a decent girl with the potential to someday become an evil monster, or are you an evil monster that thinks it's a decent girl?"

    "Wouldn't I know which one I was?"

    "Good God, no. The lies we tell other people are nothing to the lies we tell ourselves.”
    Derek Landy, Death Bringer

    Will Rogers
    “Never miss a good chance to shut up.”
    Will Rogers

  • #23
    Karen Marie Moning
    “Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, words mean nothing. They are labels we give things in an effort to wrap our puny little brains around their underlying natures, when ninety-nine percent of the time the totality of the reality is an entirely different beast. The wisest man is the silent one. Examine his actions. Judge him by them.”
    Karen Marie Moning

  • #24
    Norton Juster
    “Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven't the answer to a question you've been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you're alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.”
    Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

  • #25
    Khaled Hosseini
    “Quiet is peace. Tranquility. Quiet is turning down the volume knob on life. Silence is pushing the off button. Shutting it down. All of it. - Amir”
    Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner

  • #26
    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words.”
    Rumi

  • #27
    Lang Leav
    “It happens like this.

    "One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason, you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else--closer to them than your closest family. Perhaps this person carries within them an angel--one sent to you for some higher purpose; to teach you an important lesson or to keep you safe during a perilous time. What you must do is trust in them--even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering--the reason for their presence will become clear in due time."

    Though here is a word of warning--you may grow to love this person but remember they are not yours to keep. Their purpose isn't to save you but to show you how to save yourself. And once this is fulfilled; the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life. They will be a stranger to you once more.

    -------------------------------------------------

    It's so dark right now, I can't see any light around me.
    That's because the light is coming from you. You can't see it but everyone else can.”
    Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure

  • #28
    Patrick Rothfuss
    “Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.”
    Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind

  • #29
    Stephen  King
    “Any word you have to hunt for in a thesaurus is the wrong word. There are no exceptions to this rule.”
    Stephen King
