Words worth keeping

They say a person needs just three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for.

I've never been lonely. I've been in a room -- I've felt suicidal. I've been depressed. I've felt awful -- awful beyond all -- but I never felt that one other person could enter that room and cure what was bothering me...or that any number of people could enter that room. In other words, loneliness is something I've never been bothered with because I've always had this terrible itch for solitude. It's being at a party, or at a stadium full of people cheering for something, that I might feel loneliness. I'll quote Ibsen, "The strongest men are the most alone." I've never thought, "Well, some beautiful blonde will come in here and give me a fuck-job, rub my balls, and I'll feel good." No, that won't help. You know the typical crowd, "Wow, it's Friday night, what are you going to do? Just sit there?" Well, yeah. Because there's nothing out there. It's stupidity. Stupid people mingling with stupid people. Let them stupidify themselves. I've never been bothered with the need to rush out into the night. I hid in bars, because I didn't want to hide in factories. That's all. Sorry for all the millions, but I've never been lonely. I like myself. I'm the best form of entertainment I have. Let's drink more wine!

" Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and Hope.

Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win.

What's meant to be will always find a way

Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.

In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.

When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

I wish I could freeze this moment, right here, right now and live in it forever.

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four people is suffering from a mental illness. Look at your 3 best friends. If they're ok, then it's you.

Life is an awful, ugly place to not have a best friend.
