I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun.
“I am not pretty. I am not beautiful. I am as radiant as the sun.”
Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

A.W. Exley
“People are not photographs. There's more to them than the style of their hair or the cut of their clothes. Think of yourself as an explorer — you need to dig to unveil the person they are on the inside.”
A.W. Exley, The Unicorn's Tail

Osho
“The capacity to be alone is the capacity to love. It may look paradoxical to you, but it's not. It is an existential truth: only those people who are capable of being alone are capable of love, of sharing, of going into the deepest core of another person--without possessing the other, without becoming dependent on the other, without reducing the other to a thing, and without becoming addicted to the other. They allow the other absolute freedom, because they know that if the other leaves, they will be as happy as they are now. Their happiness cannot be taken by the other, because it is not given by the other.”
Osho

Francisco Cândido Xavier
“‎Though nobody can go back and make a new beginning... Anyone can start over and make a new ending.”
Chico Xavier

John Green
“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”
John Green, The Fault in Our Stars
