Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.

You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect—you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.

I'm not afraid of death; I just don't want to be there when it happens.

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.
