We need to help people to discover the true meaning of love. Love is generally confused with dependence. Those of us who have grown in true love know that we can love only in proportion to our capacity for independence.

Pain was their body's way of telling them that they'd pushed themselves to their limits -- which was exactly where they were supposed to be.

Richard Marcinko

I love making Italian food. And coconut chicken.

Joe Jonas

Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.

C.S. Lewis

You like someone who can't like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot.

John Green

I have no culture, no humane harmony in my brains. I can't live without a culture anymore.

Kurt Vonnegut

The worst of it is that I am perpetually being punished for nothing; this governor loves to punish, and he punishes by taking my books away from me. It's perfectly awful to let the mind grind itself away between the upper and nether millstones of regret and remorse without respite; with books my life would be livable -- any life.

Oscar Wilde

I used to think that once you really knew a thing, its truth would shine on forever. Now it's pretty obvious to me that more often than not the batteries fade, and sometimes what you knew even goes out with a bang when you try and call on it, just like a light bulb cracking off when you throw the switch.

Lucy Grealy

Never was a miser a brave soul.

George Herbert

Every step towards your dream today is a step away from your regret tomorrow.

Steve Maraboli

I'm having the time of my life. I've never looked forward to going to work so much every day. I'm loving it; it's great. It's what I love to do and I wouldn't want to be doing anything else.

Sarah Chalke

I'm glad I was a teacher.

John Wooden
