We are the ones we have been waiting for.
The truth is a beautiiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with great caution.
What you seem to be, be really.
It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.
"It isn't our talents that define us, but our choices"
Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
A frenzied passion for art is a canker that devours everything else.
Do not try to do extraordinary things but do ordinary things with intensity.
"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."
Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with them.
