Yes, you may sometimes be unpleasant or difficult. And yes, you may sometimes do or say things that make the people around you feel helpless or sad. But those things aren’t all of who you are and they certainly don’t discount your worth as a human being.

You could do no more. And that is enough. So please, hold your heads high.

Yes, you may sometimes be unpleasant or difficult. And yes, you may sometimes do or say things that make the people around you feel helpless or sad. But those things aren’t all of who you are and they certainly don’t discount your worth as a human being.

But what is stopping you? The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.

pragma longstanding love; mature and realistic love between long-established couples; a love of patience, tolerance, and compromise

Yours is a screaming heart, a pleading love, a bitter and almost belligerent hopefulness that things will work out even if you have to roll up your sleeves and make them.

You worry so much about what other people want from you that you don't even know what you want anymore!

In the end, I might not have you at my side, but I'll always have you in my heart.

It took a long time for you to learn how to be a person, after having been forced to be someone else.

Some questions will ruin you if you are denied the answer long enough.

you need to be loved and worshipped in a way that does not seem like love and worship.

A lover doesn’t discourage your growth. A lover says, "I see who you are today, I cannot wait to see who you become tomorrow."

Would that I could join you... but this moment will have to be enough.

It will not be easy to revisit the past, but sometimes one must look back to see the way forward.

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

"That is — your friend?" "Philtatos," Achilles replied, sharply. "Most beloved."

It is true that all we hold dear is fated to fade away. But that is no reason for us to forsake it!

Where life goes, so too, should you. The world is a delicious and gorgeous place created for us to explore, enjoy, and protect. I will seek out the lessons in every experience, and as I grow, I will have more to offer in return.

Curse not fate, but mourn her victims. Remember the dead as they lived.

i'm literally immobilized by fear and anxiety. i have no clue what i want, yet i'm mad at myself for not moving fast enough. like towards what? for who? what would happen if i was just content but no one knew and i told no one? would that still count? i think it would.

"You only live once?" No, you only die once, you live every day.

Off my chair, jester. The king sits there.

The dawn doth brighten the sky, and shineth o’er this nascent age of hope. And though the clouds gather to mute this sun’s rising glory, I would walk far with thee under its gentle glow.

Truth does not do as much good in the world as the appearance of truth does evil.

Your whole life has been one of regret, but it can end better than it began.

To take what steps we may, and thus mark the road for those who would follow. To strive for the best of all futures... Be this not also thy purpose?!

Unconditional love is not the hole in us that receives the dirt, but the sun within that never stops shining.

To at least try.

There is no future for those bound to the past.

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves.

But what is stopping you? The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.

Do not seek forgiveness, for it will not ease the burden. It weighs as it should.

it hurts our hands to fight - never to hold.

philtatos most beloved; those nearest and dearest to the heart

A house divided cannot stand, you know.

Nobody can live his life without botherin’ somebody else. All we can do is try to get along…

Live life well and fully, and waste nothing.

belgard a loving look; an amorous gaze

Forgive me, forgive me… I ask, I beg, I pray, but it never comes…

Wheresoever you go, may you find shade, sinner.

A child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort.

No, no. I detest trickery, but if we ourselves are to suffer deception, our hands are no longer tied.

We all rely on other people. It’s hard to keep going without someone loving you, supporting you, pushing you onward.

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.

I was supposed to choose a cruel path to follow, but my heart was shaken. Before your love, wisdom and tactics mean nothing.

Walk tall... my friends.

Oh, I doubt I ever will. But as my friends have kindly reminded me, I have come this far, and that must count for something.

It’s never too late to turn back. You are still a good person. You can still be... a good person…

The atoms that make up my body aren't mine, it's just my time to use them.

Where life goes, so too, should you. The world is a delicious and gorgeous place created for us to explore, enjoy, and protect. I will seek out the lessons in every experience, and as I grow, I will have more to offer in return.
