Words worth keeping

Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get

Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self.

Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.

Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.

The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched, they are felt with the heart.

So you're always honest," I said."Aren't you?""No," I told him. "I'm not.""Well, that's good to know, I guess.""I'm not saying I'm a liar," I told him. He raised his eyebrows.

When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago.

So it's you and a syringe against the Capitol? See, this is why no one lets you make the plans.

You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It wont happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life.

Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.

Be brave to stand for what you believe in even if you stand alone.
