“We have time for everything:
to sleep, to run from one place to another,
to regret having mistaken and to mistake again,
to judge the others and to forgive
ourselves
we have time for reading and writing,
for making corrections to our texts, to regret ever having
written

we have time to make plans and time not to respect them,

we have time for ambitions and sicknesses,
time to blame the destiny and the details,

we have time to watch the clouds, advertisements or
some ordinary accident,
we have time to chase our wonders away
and to postpone the answers,
we have time to break a dream to pieces and then
to reinvent it,

we have time to make friends, to lose friends,
we have time to receive lessons and forget them afterwards,

we have time to receive gifts and not to understand them.

We have time for them all.
There is no time for just a bit of tenderness.
When we are aware about to do this we die.

I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you;
All you can do is to be a loved person.
the rest … depends on the others.

I’ve learned that as much as I care
others might not care.

I’ve learned that it takes years to earn trust
and just a few seconds to lose it.

I’ve learned that it does not matter WHAT you have in your life
but WHO you have.

I’ve learned that your charm is useful for about 15 minutes
Afterwards, you should better know something.

I’ve learned that no matter how you cut it,
everything has two sides!

I’ve learned that you should separate from your loved ones with warm words
It might be the last time you see them!

I’ve learned that you can still continue for a long time after saying you cannot continue anymore

I’ve learned that heroes are those who do what they have to do,
when they have to do it,
regardless the consequences

I’ve learned that there are people who love
But do not know how to show it !

I’ve learned that when I am upset I have the RIGHT to be upset
But not the right to be bad!

I’ve learned that real friendship continues to exist despite the distance
And this is true also for REAL LOVE !!!

I’ve learned that if someone does not love you like you want them to
It does not mean that they do not love you with all their heart.

I’ve learned that no matter how good of a friend someone is for you
that person will hurt you every now and then
and that you have to forgive him.

I’ve learned that it is not enough to be forgiven by others
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.

I’ve learned that no matter how much you suffer,
The world will not stop for your pain.

I’ve learned that the past and the circumstances might have an influence on your personality
But that YOU are responsible for what you become !!!

I’ve learned that if two people have an argument it does not mean that they do not love each other

I’ve learned that sometimes you have to put on the first place the person, not the facts

I’ve learned that two people can look at the same thing
and can see something totally different

I’ve learned that regardless the consequences
those WHO ARE HONEST with themselves go further in life.

I’ve learned that life can be changed in a few hours
by people who do not even know you.

I’ve learned that even when you think there is nothing more you can give
when a friend calls you, you will find the strength to help him.

I’ve learned that writing just like talking can ease the pains of the soul !

I’ve learned that those whom you love the most
are taken away from you too soon …

I’ve learned that it is too difficult to realise where to draw the line between being friendly, not hurting people and supporting your oppinions.

I’ve learned to love
to be loved.”

“and I wonder if Beethoven held his breath
the first time his fingers touched the keys
the same way a soldier holds his breath
the first time his finger clicks the trigger.
We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe.”
― Andrea Gibson

“I have an idea and a first line -- and that suggests the rest of it. I have little concept of what I’m going to say, or where it’s going. I have some idea of how long it’s going to be -- but not what will happen or what the themes will be. That’s the intrigue of doing it -- it’s a process of discovery. You get to discover what you’re going to say and what it’s going to mean.”
― T.C. Boyle

“Augustus Waters was a self-aggrandizing bastard. But we forgive him. We forgive him not because he had a heart as figuratively good as his literal one sucked, or because he knew more about how to hold a cigarette than any nonsmoker in history, or because he got eighteen years when he should've gotten more.'
'Seventeen,' Gus corrected.
'I'm assuming you've got some time, you interupting bastard.
'I'm telling you,' Isaac continued, 'Augustus Waters talked so much that he'd interupt you at his own funeral. And he was pretentious: Sweet Jesus Christ, that kid never took a piss without pondering the abundant metaphorical resonances of human waste production. And he was vain: I do not believe I have ever met a more physically attractive person who was more acutely aware of his own physical attractiveness.
'But I will say this: When the scientists of the future show up at my house with robot eyes and they tell me to try them on, I will tell the scientists to screw off, because I do not want to see a world without him.'
I was kind of crying by then.”
― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
