Evan Wright
“We're like America's little pit bull. They beat it, starve it, mistreat it, and once in a while they let it out to attack somebody.”
― Evan Wright, Generation Kill: Devil Dogs, Iceman, Captain America, and the New Face of American War

Eleanor Roosevelt
“A woman is like a tea bag; you never know how strong it is until it's in hot water.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe

Oscar Wilde
“Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.”
― Oscar Wilde

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control
“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
― Marilyn Monroe
