“People say teenagers think they're immortal, and I agree with that. But I think there's a difference between thinking you're immortal and knowing you can survive. Thinking you're immortal leads to arrogance, thinking you deserve the best. Surviving means having the worst thrown at you and being able to continue on despite that. It means striving for what you want most, even when it seems our of your reach, even when everything is working against you.”
― Francesca Zappia, Made You Up

“I didn't have the luxury of taking reality for granted. And I wouldn't say I hated people who did, because that's just about everyone. I didn't hate them. They didn't live in my world.

But that never stopped me from wishing I lived in theirs.”
― Francesca Zappia, Made You Up

“ولعمري ان الحياة ظلام الا اذا صاحبها الحافز.
وكل حافز ضرير الا اذا اقترن بالمعرفه.
وكل معرفه هباء الا اذا رافقها العمل.
وكل عمل خواء الا اذا امتزج بالحب.
فاذا امتزج عملك بالحب فقد وصلت نفسك بنفسك و بالناس و بالله.”
― جبران خليل جبران, The Prophet

“A habitual indulgence in the inarticulate is a sure sign of the philosopher who has not learned to think, the poet who has not learned to write, the painter who has not learned to paint, and the impression that has not learned to express itself--all of which are compatible with an immensity of genius in the inexpressible soul.”
― George Santayana, The Sense of Beauty: Being the Outline of Aesthetic Theory

“To feel beauty is a better thing than to understand how we come to feel it. To have imagination and taste, to love the best, to be carried by the contemplation of nature to a vivid faith in the ideal, all this is more, a great deal more, than any science can hope to be.”
― George Santayana, The Sense of Beauty: Being the Outline of Aesthetic Theory
