You will write if you will write without thinking of the result in terms of a result, but think of the writing in terms of discovery, which is to say that creation must take place between the pen and the paper, not before in a thought or afterwards in a recasting… It will come if it is there and if you will let it come.

Are you mad because I’m forcing you to question yourself? I can’t care enough. You must question yourself in order to find yourself.

“Mom, listen, I haven’t been together with Topanga for 22 years, but we have been together for 16. That’s a lot longer than most couples have been together. I mean, when we were born, you told me that we used to take walks in our strollers together around the block. When we were two, we were best friends. I mean, I knew everything about this girl. I knew her favorite color, her favorite food. Then we became six, Eric made fun of me because it wasn’t cool to have a best friend that was a girl or even know a girl. So for the next seven years I threw dirt at her. I like to call those “the lost years”. Then when I was thirteen, mom, she put me up against my locker and she kissed me. I mean, she gave me my first kiss. She taught me how to dance. She always was talking about these crazy things and I never understood a word she said. All I understood was that she was the girl I sat up every night thinking about, and when I’m with her, I feel happy to be alive. Like I can do anything. Even talk to you like this. So that’s, that’s what I think is love, mom. When I’m better because she’s here.” - Cory Matthews, Boy Meets World

As our world goes faster, we need to evolve faster. If we don’t, the competition will.

Seth Godin

What I really need, what I’m really looking for, is not something I can articulate. It’s nonverbal: I need love. I need the thing that happens when your brain shuts off and your heart turns on.

You get what you focus on. Focus on nothing, and you won’t get much.

If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.

Audre Lorde

There are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made.

Michelle Obama

There’s always something to suggest that you’ll never be who you wanted to be. Your choice is to take it or keep on moving

Phylicia Rashad

They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.

Edgar Allan Poe (via aplethoraofquotations)

The times may have changed, but the people are still the same. We’re still looking for love, and that will always be our struggle as human beings.

Halle Berry

If we lose love and self respect for each other, this is how we finally die.
