Vita Sackville-West
“I worshipped dead men for their strength, forgetting I was strong.”
Vita Sackville-West

John Green
“You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.”
John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

“But that's just it; I can either focus on what I have lost, or what I have gained, and I choose the latter.”
Angie Smith, Letting Go of Perfect: Women, Expectations, and Authenticity

“The decision to be positive is not one that disregards or belittles the sadness that exists. It is rather a conscious choice to focus on the good and to cultivate happiness--genuine happiness. Happiness is not a limited resource. And when we devote our energy and time to trivial matters, and choose to stress over things that ultimately are insignificant. From that point, we perpetuate our own sadness, and we lose sight of the things that really make us happy and rationalize our way out of doing amazing things.”
Christopher Aiff

Donald Miller
“Fear is a manipulative emotion that can trick us into living a boring life.”
Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life
