Unspoken..

I've always believed that if you are precise in your thoughts, it's not the lines you say that are important - it's what exists between the lines. What I'm compelled by most is that transparency of thought, what is left unspoken. 

Vera Farmiga

Learning...

Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books. 

John Lubbock

Beauty secret...

My greatest beauty secret is being happy with myself. I don't use special creams or treatments - I'll use a little bit of everything. It's a mistake to think you are what you put on yourself. I believe that a lot of how you look is to do with how you feel about yourself and your life. Happiness is the greatest beauty secret. 

Tina Turner

You didn't love her..

You didn't love her. You just didn't want to be alone. Or maybe, maybe she was just good for you ego. Or, or maybe she made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn't love her. Because you don't destroy people you love.

— Grey's Anatomy

I believe...

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death. 

Robert Fulghum

I don't care...

I don’t care what you think of me! Unless you think I’m awesome – in which case, you’re right! Carry on…

Immerse yourself...

It's fun to get away from myself for a while when I take on these roles that have very different personalities from my own. I get to say things I normally wouldn't say or act in ways I normally wouldn't act. After all, such roles are more challenging because you really have to immerse yourself in the character. 

Kelsey Chow

Those who can smile...

I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death. 

Leonardo da Vinci

Comfort zone...

So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality, nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit. 

Christopher McCandless

Life itself...

Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself. 

Walter Anderson

A quiet thing...

Sometimes we look for those thunderous things to happen in our life for our lives to change or go in the other direction. We seek the miracle. We seek the parting of the seas, the moving of the mountains. But no, it's a quiet thing. At least for me it was. 

Ben Vereen

Step outside...

Be willing to step outside your comfort zone once in a while; take the risks in life that seem worth taking. The ride might not be as predictable if you'd just planted your feet and stayed put, but it will be a heck of a lot more interesting.

-Edward Whitacre, Jr.

I survived...

I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.

Joshua Graham

Pull yourself together...

 

        Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.

Elizabeth Taylor
