Words worth keeping

Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.

It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.

The difference between genius and stupidity is: genius has its limits.

You don’t have a soul, Doctor. You are a soul. You have a body, temporarily.

Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.

A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.

You don’t forget the face of the person who was your last hope.

You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Augustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.

Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.

Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.
