Pain is the feeling. Suffering is the effect the pain inflicts. If one can endure pain, one can live without suffering. If one can withstand pain, one can withstand anything. If one can learn to control pain, one can learn to control oneself. 
( My Friend Leonard by James Frey )

If we forget who we lost, then we forget who we once were, and if we forget who we once were, we lose sight of who we are now.

How could I pretend to be someone else when I was already failing at being the person I already was?

There's nothing worse than waiting and not knowing what'll happen to you. Your own imagination can be crueller than any captor. 
( Frostbite by Richelle Mead )

Great everyday magic is discovering those who are strong enough to catch you. Those who care enough to reach out their arms and cushion your fall. And I think that's what's so wonderful about life - you never know when you'll stumble upon these kinds of marvellous people, or when they'll stumble onto you. And as terrifying as it sounds, the greatest thing that could ever happen to us is to slip up in the wind and float down into that fall. Because you never know who will be waiting for you at the bottom. 
( Penelope Bat )

How many girls have been suffering along with me this past year? Laying in their beds in the middle of the night, thinking about you, wondering if whatever little moment they had shared with you that day really meant something, praying you'd talk to them on Facebook. You've made pathetic fools out of all of us.

The flower bloomed and faded. The sun rose and sank. The lover loved and went. 

( Orlando by Virginia Woolf )

Ah, we applaud the sentiment, but we don't change. Why? Because we want what we want. So we do it, we say it, we try it and we victimize ourselves. 
( One Tree Hill )

Sometimes the beauty is in the attempt. we gave it everything we could, but it just didn't work out. 
( One Tree Hill )

You ever wonder how long it takes to change your life? What measure of time is enough to be life-altering? Is it four years, like high school? One year? An eight-week rock tour? Can your life change in a month, a week, or a single day? We're always in a hurry to grow up, to go places, to get ahead. But when you're young, one hour can change everything. 
( One Tree Hill )
