There’s no reason to have a Plan B, because it distracts from Plan A

Will Smith (via justojusto) (via quote-book, justojusto)

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

J.R.R. Tolkien | All That is Gold Does Not Glitter (via janettt) (via quote-book, quote-book)

Once upon a time there were two sisters. One of them was really, really strong, and one of them wasn’t.’ You looked at me. ‘Your turn.’

I rolled my eyes. ‘The strong sister went outside into the rain and realized the reason she was strong was because she was made out of iron, but it was raining and she rusted. The end.’

No, because the sister who wasn’t strong went outside into the rain when it was raining, and hugged her really tight until the sun came out again.”

Handle with Care” by Jodi Picoult (via julie911) (via quote-book)

Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed up. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves.

You will always have some excuse to not live your life.

Chuck Palahniuk (Haunted) (via xjbear) (via quote-book, mylifeasjessss)

That’s the problem with us. We’re both stubborn asses and always want to get our way. We both hate to be wrong and love to be right. But that’s the thing about love. No matter what happens, we always come back for each other, one more time.

The Notebook (via quote-book)

Soul mate: two little words, one big concept. A belief that someone, somewhere, is holding the key to your heart.

Sex and the City (via kari-shma)

I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. And I don’t want to get to the end, or to tomorrow, even, and realize that my life is a collection of meetings and pop cans and errands and receipts and dirty dishes. I want to eat cold tangerines, and sing out loud in the car with the windows open, and wear pink shoes, and stay up all night laughing, and paint my walls the exact color of the sky right now. I want to sleep hard on clean white sheets, and throw parties, and eat ripe tomatoes, and read books so good they make me jump up and down.

I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have.
