    Lemmy Kilmister
    “Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bullshit, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute - I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you”
    Lemmy Kilmister

    Kay Redfield Jamison
    “If I can't feel, if I can't move, if I can't think, and I can't care, then what conceivable point is there in living?”
    Kay Redfield Jamison, An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness

    Alyssa Reyans
    “Bipolar robs you of that which is you. It can take from you the very core of your being and replace it with something that is completely opposite of who and what you truly are. Because my bipolar went untreated for so long, I spent many years looking in the mirror and seeing a person I did not recognize or understand. Not only did bipolar rob me of my sanity, but it robbed me of my ability to see beyond the space it dictated me to look. I no longer could tell reality from fantasy, and I walked in a world no longer my own.”
    Alyssa Reyans, Letters from a Bipolar Mother

    “It doesn’t matter how many times you leave, it will always hurt to come back and remember what you once had and who you once were. Then it will hurt just as much to leave again, and so it goes over and over again.
    Once you’ve started to leave, you will run your whole life.”
    Charlotte Eriksson

    David Archuleta
    “You're reaching out
    And no one hears you cry
    You're freaking out again
    'Cause all your fears
    Remind you another dream has come undone
    You feel so small and lost like you're the only one
    You wanna scream 'cause you're
    Desperate
    You want somebody, just anybody
    To lay their hands on your soul tonight
    You want a reason to keep believin'
    That someday you're gonna see the light
    You're in the dark
    There's no one left to call
    And sleep's your only friend
    Well even sleep
    Can't hide you from all those tears
    And all the pain and all the days
    You wasted pushin' them away
    It's your life, it's time you face it ”
    David Archuletta

    Erich Maria Remarque
    “We are forlorn like children, and experienced like old men, we are crude and sorrowful and superficial—I believe we are lost.”

    Charlotte Eriksson
    “So I am not a broken heart.
    I am not the weight I lost or miles or ran and I am not the way I slept on my doorstep under the bare sky in smell of tears and whiskey because my apartment was empty and if I were to be this empty I wanted something solid to sleep on. Like concrete.
    I am not this year and I am not your fault.
    I am muscles building cells, a little every day, because they broke that day,
    but bones are stronger once they heal and I am smiling to the bus driver and replacing my groceries once a week and I am not sitting for hours in the shower anymore.
    I am the way a life unfolds and bloom and seasons come and go and I am the way the spring always finds a way to turn even the coldest winter into a field of green and flowers and new life.
    I am not your fault.”
    Charlotte Eriksson, You're Doing Just Fine

    Melody Beattie
    “I used to spend so much time reacting and responding to everyone else that my life had no direction. Other people's lives, problems, and wants set the course for my life. Once I realized it was okay for me to think about and identify what I wanted, remarkable things began to take place in my life.”
    Melody Beattie, The Language of Letting Go: Daily Meditations on Codependency

    “You get use to someone—start to like them, even—and they leave. In the end, everyone leaves.”
    Rachel Ward, Numbers

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “All that is gold does not glitter,
    Not all those who wander are lost;
    The old that is strong does not wither,
    Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

    From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
    A light from the shadows shall spring;
    Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
    The crownless again shall be king.”
    J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

    “In this world, it is too common for people to search for someone to lose themselves in. But I am already lost. I will look for someone to find myself in.”
    C. JoyBell C.

    Masaru Emoto
    “If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now and when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong.”
    Masaru Emoto, The Secret Life of Water

    Cassandra Clare
    “But maybe you never really had someone, she thought now. Maybe, no matter how much you loved them, they could slip through your fingers like water, and there was nothing you could do about it.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Fallen Angels

    Kazuo Ishiguro
    “I half closed my eyes and imagined this was the spot where everything I'd ever lost since my childhood had washed up, and I was now standing here in front of it, and if I waited long enough, a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field and gradually get larger until I'd see it was Tommy, and he'd wave, and maybe even call.”
    Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go
