Choose love

"we know what we are, but not what we may be"

"some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are - once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin"

"Own less. Do more. When you’re lying on your deathbed you aren’t going to be looking back on how much money you made and how many assets you owned. You’ll look back and remember the people you loved, the moments you spent with them, you’ll remember the moments in which you did what you truly love, you’ll recall the places you went and the faces you met, the experiences you stumbled upon, the truth you found, and the love for life that you shared and received. The real treasures in this world aren’t tangible objects, but intangible moments, that when lost, can never be re-bought or re-sold. Life is fleeting, and it’s important that we realize what’s really worth living for before we cease to be"

"How bitterly glad I am to see you. You bring joy and pain in equal measure. Joy because you are with me, but pain because it won’t be for long."

“I like the stars. It’s the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they’re always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend…I can pretend that things last. I can pretend that lives last longer than moments. Gods come, and gods go. Mortals flicker and flash and fade. Worlds don’t last; and stars and galaxies are transient, fleeting things that twinkle like fireflies and vanish into cold and dust. But I can pretend…”

~ Neil Gaiman

"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell."
