    “If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!”
    Soren Kierkegaard. (via lickystickypicky)

    “There are millions of people out there, that in the end, it all comes down to one. I still panic sometimes, forget to breath, but I know now that I know there’s something beautiful in all my imperfections, a beauty which he held up for me to see, a strength that can never be taken away.”
    Kirsten Dunst, Crazy/Beautiful

    “For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit … start whenever you want … you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.”
    Brad Pitt, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (via likepuzzlepieces)

    “Maybe we’re not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we’re thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we’re thankful for the things we’ll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”
    Ellen Pompeo, Grey’s Anatomy
