Quotes, music, books, movies, friends, love... Everything that I'm passionate about, in little doses of text (and sometimes images as well)
“

The words I have to say may well be simple
But they’re true
Until you give your love
There’s nothing more that we can do

Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
No one could offer you more
Do you know what I mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

You say,
“It’s very hard to leave behind the life we knew.”
There’s no other way
And now it’s really up to you

‘Cause love is the key we must turn
And truth is the flame we must burn
Freedom - the lesson we must learn
Do you know what i mean?
Have your eyes really seen?

“Live in the present. The past is gone; the future is unknown — but the present is real, and your opportunities are now. You must see these opportunities; they must be real for you. The catch is that they can’t seem real if your mind is buried in past failures, if you keep reliving old mistakes, old guilts, old tragedies. Fight your way above the many inevitable Traumatizations of your ego, escape damnation by the past, and look to the opportunities of the present. I don’t mean some vague moment in the present — next week or next month, perhaps. I mean today, this minute.”
— Maxwell Maltz

“

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That’s the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

”
— “Smile” - music by Charlie Chaplin, lyrics by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons

“But he understood at last what Dumbledore had been trying to tell him. It was, he thought, the difference between being dragged into the arena to face a battle to the death and walking into the arena with your head held high. Some people, perhaps, would say that there was little to choose between the two ways, but Dumbledore knew — ‘and so do I’, thought Harry, with a rush of fierce pride, ‘and so did my parents’ — that there was all the difference in the world.”
— from “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince”

“You can blow out a candle
But you can’t blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher”
