Quotes.

Two of the hardest tests in life: The patience to wait for the right moment and the courage to accept that you’ve waited for nothing.

Adam was the first man, and the first prophet. He was chosen by God. In Arabic, the name Adam is made from the letters alif, dal and mim, which represent man standing, bowing and prostrating. When man prostrates to his God it is the only time that his heart is above his head. Within the name of the first man, God has left a secret of how to live.

Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.
- G.K. Chesterton.

I want to see, real, and in the hours of my own living days, that glory I create as an illusion. I want it real. I want to know that there is someone, somewhere, who wants it, too. Or else what is the use of seeing it, and working and burning oneself for an impossible vision? A spirit too, needs fuel. It can run dry.
- Ayn Rand.

It’s not dying that you need to be afraid of, it’s never having lived in the first place.
-Britt Reid.

Our forefarthers died for the pursuit of happiness! Not the “sit-around-and-wait” of happiness!

Also, if you win, you want to be able to strike a heroic pose without worrying if you have broccoli in your teeth, or you want to make the prettiest corpse possible if things go badly. 
– How To Slay A Dragon – A Knight’s Perspective.

We’re not droplets in the ocean. We’re the ocean.
- MUSE

You don’t know what goes in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately you can’t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life.
–Jay Asher.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.
-Plato.

To be nobody but yourself in a world that’s doing its best to make you somebody else, is to fight the hardesT battle you are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting.
- E.E. Cummings.

I do not know how I may appear to the world, but to myself, I seem to have been only a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.
– Sir Isaac Newton.

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.
– Oscar Wilde

Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.
C.S Lewis.

Heartbreak is an odd kind of pain because you are not dying.  You are not even sick. You’re perfectly fine, yet you hurt so much that you can’t even breathe. You can’t sleep and you can’t stop tears from falling. You may eat too much. You may not eat at all. Non-smokers light up. Non-drinkers find a bar. A broken heart is one the world’s greatest equalizer because it can turn even the sweetest angel into a freaking devil.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore. Dream. Discover.
– Mark Twain.
