Quotes
The whole point of life is the slow discovery, the surrender to the inevitable truth that you’re going to die, and that alone should make you want to live.
We have to be better than we think we can be. Better than I think I can be.
We’re all just trying to find the path back to the present moment, the only thing that’s ever real.
The only way to live a life worth living is to fight, to be brave, to do what you believe in, even if it’s not popular.
We are here to love one another, to make one another feel less alone.
We’re all damaged in some way, aren’t we? By the people who love us, who are supposed to take care of us. By the world.
We tell ourselves that we are the sum of our choices, but our choices are the sum of our fears.
We spend our lives trying to be more than we are, and then we die.
We all just want to be seen, to be known, to be loved in spite of everything.
We are all walking around with our own private horrors, our own unspoken anxieties.
