"Every story has an end, but in life every ending is just a new beginning."
"Work hard in silence, let your success be your noise."
-- Frank Ocean
"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins."
"We don't meet people by accident, they are meant to cross our paths for a reason."
"A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not on the branch but on it's own wings. Always believe in yourself."
"And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about."
"You know you made the right decision when there is peace in your heart."
"Most of the time
I try to convince myself
That the future is yet to come;
But someone should remind me:
Yesterday was once future too;
Tomorrow soon will be past,
And I still haven't moved from here."
"Discipline is choosing between
what you want now,
and what you want most."
"So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons,
And maybe we'll never know most of them.
But even if we don't have the power to choose
where we come from, we can still choose
where we go from there, we can still do things.
And we can try to feel okay about them."
"If you can dream it, you can do it."
--Walt Disney
"In life, there are things that you don't want to happen
but you have to accept,
and there are things you don't want to know
but you have to learn,
and there are people you can't live without
but have to let go."
"Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love,
the things you are, the things you never want to lose."
Angels:
"It happens like this. One day you meet someone and for some inexplicable reason, you feel more connected to this stranger than anyone else- closer to them than your closest family. Perhaps this person carries within them an angel- one sent to you for some higher purpose; to teach you an important lesson or to keep you safe during a perilous time. What you must do is trust in them- even if they come hand in hand with pain or suffering- the reason for their presence will become clear in due time.
Though here is a work of warning- you may grow to love this person but remember they are not yours to keep. Their purpose isn't to save you but to show you how to save yourself. And once this is fulfilled; the halo lifts and the angel leaves their body as the person exits your life. They will be a stranger to you once more."
"Because that's the thing with music:
when it hits, you feel no pain."
"When you're happy you enjoy the music,
But when you're sad, you understand the music."
--Frank Ocean
"What they don't understand about birthdays and what they never tell you is that when you're eleven, you're also ten, and nine, and eight, and seven, and six, and five, and four, and three, and two, and one. And when you wake up on your eleventh birthday you expect to feel eleven, but you don't. You open your eyes and everything's just like yesterday, only it's today. And you don't feel eleven at all. You feel like you're still ten. And you are- underneath the year that makes you eleven.
Like some days you might say something stupid, and that's the part of you that's still ten. Or maybe some days you might need to sit on your mama's lap because you're scared, and that's the part of you that's five. And maybe one day when you're all grown up maybe you will need to cry like you're three, and that's okay. That's what I tell Mama when she's sad and needs to cry. Maybe she's feeling three.
Because the way you grow old is kind of like an onion or like rings inside a tree trunk or like my little wooden dolls that fit one inside the other, each year inside the next one. That's how being eleven years old is.
You don't feel eleven. Not right away. It takes a few days, weeks even, sometimes even months before you say Eleven when they ask you. And you don't feel smart eleven, not until you're almost twelve. That's the way it is."
"In order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did,
and why you no longer need to feel it."
--Mitch Albom, Five People You Meet In Heaven
"If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough."
"I think the only reason people hold onto memories so tight
is because memories are the only things that don't change,
even when everybody else does."
Try to imagine a life without timekeeping:
"You probably can't. You know the month, the year, the day of the week.
There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car.
You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie.
Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored.
Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays.
Man alone measures time.
Man alone chimes the hour.
And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures.
A fear of time running out."
--Mitch Albom, The Timekeeper
"A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another,
they will fall for each other...
maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time,
maybe too late, or maybe forever."
--500 Days of Summer
"So I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons.
And maybe we'll never know most of them.
But if we don't have the power to choose where we come from,
we can still choose where we go from there.
We can still do things.
And we can try to feel okay about them."
"It's funny how day by day, nothing changes.
But when you look back, everything is different."
"In life we do things. Some we wish we have never done.
Some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads.
But they all make us who we are,
and in the end they shape every detail about us.
If we were to reverse any of them, we wouldn't be the person that we are.
So just live your life and make memories.
Never second guess who you are,
and most importantly where it is your going."
"God puts people in your life for a reason
and removes them for a better reason."
"The best thing about a picture
is that it never changes,
even when the people in it do."
--Andy Warhol
"You can learn a lot about somebody
by listening to a song that means something to them."
"Just because I laugh a lot,
doesn't mean my life is easy.
Just because I have a smile on my face everyday,
doesn't mean something's not bothering me.
It's just that I choose to move on with the negatives in my life
and keep my head up instead of dwelling on the past."
"If you never try, you'll never know."
"I believe, that bad things happen in life
to teach us how to look at good things in a whole new light."
"There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing really hard.
Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for all the right reasons."
"The team on the front of your jersey
isn't nearly as important as the name on the back."
"Music can change the world,
because it can change people."
--Bono
"Now is when you start to realize who really matters,
who never did, and who always will."
"100% of the shots you don't take, don't go in."
--Wayne Gretzky
"Just remember to learn your craft, even before you think of yourself as an artist.
You shouldn't think of yourself as an artist, rather an ever developing craftsman.
Let others think of you as an artist."
--Steven Spielberg
"I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you."
"There are things we don't want to happen but have to accept,
things we don't want to know but have to learn,
and people we can't live without but have to let go."
"Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love,
the things you are, the things you never want to lose."
"Missing someone isn't about how long it's been since you've last seen them or the amount of time since you last talked. It's about that very moment when you're doing something and you wish that they were right there with you."
Hockey:
“Never get caught telling a hockey player it’s just a game. Never get caught trying to explain to him all the things in the world that matter so much more. His mind might well acknowledge the truth to your point, but his soul would be powerless to accept it, considering the immensity of what he gives to the sport and the immeasurability of all it offers in return. Nothing ever feels as perfect as a moment of flawlessness on the ice. No bond as strong as one that compels brothers to bleed for one another. Not many leaders as this versed in the craft of motivation. Not many pursuits can evoke such visions if brilliance. This is why it hurts so much when skill falls short of what the will desires. This is why it’s so unforgettable when absolute passion yields ultimate reward. And that’s all still just the start of what the Game can do to you. Hockey may in fact be just a game, but it’s also who they are.”
"Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment,
until it becomes a memory."
--Dr. Seuss
Favorite quotes from the movie August Rush:
"Listen. Can you hear it? The music. I can hear it everywhere. In the wind...in the air...in the light. It's all around us. All you have to do is open yourself up. All you have to do... is listen."
--August Rush
"But I believe in music... The way that some people believe in fairy tales."
--August Rush
"You never quit on your music. No matter what happens. Cuz anytime something bad happens to you, that's the one place you can escape to and just let it go. I learned it the hard way. And anyway, look at me. Nothing bad's gonna happen. You gotta have a little faith."
--Louis Connelly
"You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe, a harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars."
--Wizard
"The music is all around us, all you have to do is listen."
--August Rush
