“Watch your thoughts for they become words.
Watch your words for they become actions.
Watch your actions for they become habits.
Watch your habits for they become your character.
And watch your character for it becomes your destiny.
What we think, we become.
My father always said that... and I think I am fine.”

I don't really like to live by quotes - but I do have one quote I like, although I never remember it off by heart:

Quote:

---

"I keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. And these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, but in the end it’s just too much. The current’s too strong. They’ve got to let go, drift apart. That’s how I think it is with us. It’s a shame, Kath, because we’ve loved each other all our lives. But in the end, we can’t stay together forever."

---

From Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. Like I said, I don't think it applies to me - I just thought it was nice, and it hit a nerve as I read it.

Tupac Shakur

"Happiness is a choice"
"Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life"

Are the two I like to remind myself of

My friend wrote this in a Jane Austen fanfiction and I just really love it.

The following story is without a doubt, a most curious mix of happiness and sorrow. For how can one be enjoyed without the other hardly bears thought. Let it suffice, dear reader, that the fiction before you shall render you speechless, it shall pull at your heartstrings, your eyes will sting from the moisture of tears. All that said, I present to you a love story.

This from One Tree Hill

at this moment there are

6,470,818,671

people in this world

some are running scared

some are coming home

some tell lies to make it through the day

others are just now facing the truth

some are evil men, at war with good

and some are good, struggling with evil

six billion people in the world

six billion souls

and sometimes

all you need

is one.

Perks of Being A Wallflower

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite

T.S. Eliot Poem (The Hollow Men)

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper

Collection of Sylvia Plaths (all from the Bell Jar):

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

There is something demoralizing about watching two people get more and more crazy about each other, especially when you are the only extra person in the room. It's like watching Paris from an express caboose heading in the opposite direction--every second the city gets smaller and smaller, only you feel it's really you getting smaller and smaller and lonelier and lonelier, rushing away from all those lights and excitement at about a million miles an hour.

Kiss me and you will see how important I am

House Quotes

So, this is the story you made up about yourself? It's nice.
Too bad it isn't true.

If you believe in eternity, then life is irrelevant. The same way a bug is irrelevant in comparison to the universe.
If you don't believe in eternity, then what you do here is irrelevant.
Your actions *here* are all that matters.
Then nothing matters. There's no ultimate consequence. I couldn't live like that.

I'm going to base this moment on who I'm stuck in a room with. It's what life is. It's a series of rooms and who we get stuck in those rooms with adds up to what our lives are.

Dying's easy. Living's hard.

Then my favourite quote of all time

Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.
"After all this time?"
"Always," said Snape.

OKAY YES I HAVE THESE ALL SAVED ON MY COMPUTER I DIDN'T JUST GO LOOKING FOR IT AND FORMATTING

"When you have a bad day, a really bad day, try and treat the world better than it treated you" ~ Patrick Stump

"We're just like you, we're not these older idols, you know, we're just kids like you guys" ~ Brendon Urie

"Just because today is a terrible day, doesn't mean tomorrow might not be the best day of your entire life. You just have to wake up, and get there"
~ Pete Wentz

something like "we're all just stories in the end" from doctor who. that was nice.

I don't really have favourite quotes but it's definitely a powerful thing to know that your words touch people that they remember them and err have a document full of quotes? never seen that before laura haha.

I like the messages in JK Rowling's Harvard Commencement speech. Not necessarily a bitesize quote but she's such a wise person!

I can pick out hundreds of Grey's anatomy quotes but I'll just stick to one:

Quote:

---

Sometimes, the key to making progress is to recognize how to take that very first step. Then you start your journey. You hope for the best and you stick with it, day in, day out. Even if you’re tired, even if you want to walk away, you don’t. Because you are a pioneer. But nobody ever said it’d be easy.

- Meredith Grey - ‘Man on the Moon’ - Season 10, Episode 11

A few of my favourite one tree hill quotes:

Quote:

---

You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck or bad choices. or you can fight back. things arent always going to be fair in the real world. That's just the way it is. but for the most part, you get what you give. The rest of your life is being shaped right now. with the dreams you chase, the choices you make, and the person you decide to be. the rest of your life is a long time. And the rest of your life starts right now.

Quote:

---

Happiness is not a destination. It is a mood, it is not permanent. It comes and goes and if people thought that way then maybe people would find happiness more often.

---

Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Quote:

---

Maybe it’s good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there. Because it’s okay to feel things. I was really there. And that was enough to make me feel infinite. I feel infinite.

ok this is gonna be a long list

You see a mouse trap, I see free cheese and a ******* challenge ~ Scroobius Pip

In the end they are just words, you give them power when you cower man - it's so absurd ~ Scroobius Pip

"As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once." ― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

Three of my favs from Tumblr!

He may still love you. He probably does. He probably doesn't know what he wants. He probably still thinks about you all the time. But that isn't what matters. What matters is what he's doing about it, and what he's doing about it is nothing. And if he's doing nothing, you most certainly shouldn't do anything. You need someone who goes out of their way to make it obvious that they want you in their life. - Unknown


If you have to speculate if someone loves you and wants to be with you, chances are they don't. It's not that complicated. Don't waste moments waiting and wondering. Don't throw away your time dreaming of someone that doesn't want you. No one is that amazing, certainly not the one who would pass you up. - Donna Lynn Hope


The person in life that you will always be with the most, is yourself. Because even when you are with others, you are still with yourself, too. When you wake up in the morning, you are with yourself, laying in bed at night you are with yourself, walking down the street in the sunlight you are with yourself. What kind of person do you want to walk down the street with? What kind of person do you want to see at the end of the day before you fall asleep? Because that person is yourself, and it's your responsibility to be that person you want to be with. I know I want to spend my life with a person who knows how to let things go, who isn't full of hate, who's able to smile and be carefree. So that's what I have to be. - C. Joybell C

Lady Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd put poison in your coffee.
Winston Churchill: Nancy, if you were my wife, I'd drink it.
