    “Let’s play hopscotch in malls.  Let’s drive fast with the top down.  Let’s turn up the music as loud as it’ll go.  Let’s put a couch on an island in the middle of the freeway and wave at everyone on their way to work.  Let’s hug strangers in parking lots.  Let’s hand out secret messages at traffic lights.  Let’s make lists of all the things that make us smile and tick them off, one at a time.  The world will carry on without you and me when we’re gone.  Let it carry on without us, today.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

      “The words, ‘I love you’ become nothing but noise.  But that’s why we kiss.  To say with our lips what we couldn’t before.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

        “I’m sure people just kiss each other.  I’m sure that sometimes you’re talking and somehow two people move closer and closer to each other and then, they just kiss.  I’m sure it happens all the time.  But I’m also sure that a kiss is never just a kiss.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

          “We’re here to connect. Love, time, death. Now these three things connect every single human being on earth. We long for love, we wish we had more time and we fear death.” ~ Howard Inlet (Will Smith), Collateral Beauty

            “Of course it’s complicated.  If it wasn’t, I probably wouldn’t be interested in you.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

              “Be soft.  Do not let the world make you hard.  Do not let the pain make you hate.  Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.  Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

                “I know the world is crazy.  I know love is not always the way it’s meant to be.  I know sometimes, things hurt.  But I also know that we’ll get through this.  That our hearts will arrive on the other side, in one piece.  That everything is beautiful, if we give it the chance to be.” ~ Iain Thomas, I Wrote This For You

                  “A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.” ~ James Allen

                    “The difference between great people and everyone else is that great people create their lives actively, while everyone else is created by their lives, passively waiting to see where life takes them next. The difference between the two is the difference between living fully and just existing.” ~ Michael E. Gerber

                      “You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself … the height of a man’s success is gauged by his self-mastery; the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment … And this law is the expression of eternal justice. He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.” ~ Leonardo da Vinci
