Words worth keeping

One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.

You speak an infinite deal of nothing.

All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know.

Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book. And then there are books like An Imperial Affliction, which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like betrayal

A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.

He does something to me, that boy. Every time. It’s his only detriment. He steps on my heart. He makes me cry.

Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.

You know, when it works, love is pretty amazing. It's not overrated. There's a reason for all those songs.

To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.

But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.

The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it.

Say 'provoking' again. Your mouth looks provocative when you do.

There are three types of lies -- lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Words are easy, like the wind; Faithful friends are hard to find.

I dream. Sometimes I think that's the only right thing to do.
