I love when it goes soft and even sometimes if there’s movement there’s a little blur on things, but I don’t know, everybody seems to like things pin sharp these days, I think it’s a shame.
Grace Coddington, The September Issue

Nothing has turned out as we expected! It never does. Life’s under no obligation to give us what we expect. We take what we get and are thankful it’s no worse than it is.

Actually that was all just a test to see how you respond to crazy people, and you passed.

When you’re done with a phone call, you let someone go. Or when you, take someone to the airport, you let them go. When you tell someone you love her, she gives you everything, and then you go out with someone else. That is not letting her go, that’s dumping her.
Emma Roberts, Scream 4

We don’t have a lot of time on this earth! We weren’t meant to spend it this way. Human beings were not meant to sit in little cubicles staring at computer screens all day, filling out useless forms and listening to eight different bosses drone on about about mission statements.

It was like the cornerstone of my childhood, the event upon which I built everything else, and now it’s pulled out and everything is toppled.

…whatever love you can get and give, whatever happiness you can filch or provide, every temporary measure of grace, whatever works. And don’t kid yourself. Because its by no means up to your own human ingenuity. A bigger part of your existence is luck, than you’d like to admit. Christ, you know the odds of your fathers one sperm from the billions, finding the single egg that made you. Don’t think about it, you’ll have a panic attack.

Never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what? It’s probably worth it.

I’ve always been amazed that the very people forced to live in the worst parts of town, go to the worst schools, and who have it the hardest are always the first to step up, to defend us. They serve so that we don’t have to. They offer to give up their lives so that we can be free. It is remarkably their gift to us. And all they ask for in return is that we never send them into harm’s way unless it is absolutely necessary.
Michael Moore, Fahrenheit 9/11

It doesn’t matter what people tell you. It doesn’t matter what they might say. Sometimes you have to leave home. Sometimes, running away means you’re headed in the exact right direction.

He used to say to me, ‘Have you ever noticed how grateful you are to see daylight again after coming through a long dark tunnel?’…Always try to see life around you as if you’d just come out of a tunnel.
