"I don’t believe in failure, because simply by saying you’ve failed, you’ve admitted you attempted. And anyone who attempts is not a failure. Those who truly fail in my eyes are the ones who never try at all. The ones who sit on the couch and whine and moan and wait for the world to change for them."

-Sarah Dessen (via infinitives)

"There are plenty of others willing to call you a failure. A fool. A loser. A hopeless souse! Don’t you ever say it of yourself. You send out the wrong signal. That is what people pick up. Do you understand? If you care about something fight for it. You hit a wall, push through it. There’s something you need to know about failure, Tintin: You can never let it defeat you."

-Captain Haddock, The Adventures of Tintin (via quote-book)

Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

I’m so in love with this quote. It’s going to be my motto for the rest of my life. True shittt.

"When you’re out there looking for that perfect person, keep these things in mind - People change, no matter how hard they try not to. As you grow older you mature, and with each new level of maturity come different ideas, different needs and wants. The person who was perfect for you at twenty could be the person you hate when you’re thirty-five. You have to find some one who will grow with you, change with you, laugh with you and cry with you. A person who fills in where you lack, a person whom you can fill in for when they are lacking. But what about the perfect person, you ask? They do not exist. There are no perfect people, only people who are perfect for each other. You deserve to be happy not in the arms of someone who keeps you waiting but in the arms of someone who will take you now."

"When things break, it’s not the actual breaking that prevents them from getting back together again. It’s because a little piece gets lost - the two remaining ends couldn’t fit together even if they wanted to. The whole shape has changed."

-John Green (via juststayawake)

Boy Meets World - my favorite quote of all time.

Shawn: You know, he used to tell me how wonderful you were, but guys always say great things about their girlfriends until they break up. That's when the truth comes out. You know, I've waited 15 years to find out what he really thinks about you. Do you wanna know what he thinks about you now that you've broken up?
Topanga: No. Shawn, I don't wanna talk about him.
Shawn: Now that you've broken up, he still tells me how wonderful you are.

"Someday, we’ll run into each other again, I know it. Maybe I’ll be older and smarter and just plain better. If that happens, that’s when I’ll deserve you. But now, at this moment, you can’t hook your boat to mine, because I’m liable to sink us both."

"And all around, people fall like leaves in the snow. But those who cut you down, do not know, they are planting a forest."

-I Wrote This For You: The Protestors In The Park (via kari-shma)

"I’ve been walked on, used and forgotten and I don’t regret one moment of it because in those moments, I’ve learned a lot. I’ve learned who I can trust and can’t. I’ve learned the meaning of friendship. I’ve learned how to tell when people are lying and when they’re sincere. I’ve learned how to be a teenager, and how to grow up when I need to. I won’t ever take what I have for granted. This is life, live it one day at a time. You never know how many days you’ve got left."

-(via wordsandlyrics)

"If you live life wishing you could change the past, nothing comes of it, there’s a reason why the past is the past and why its called the past. you can’t rewind, so instead of living in regret, use a thing called the present and the future, to learn from those regrets and grow into the person you want to be. love and be loved, forgive and forget, laugh til you cry, enjoy the ups and embrace the downs."
