Life is not all the happy moments, and life isn't only the heartaches either. Everyone goes through good or bad things they don't talk about and no one else knows about. ~Sadia Hakim

You cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as you do. This is your tragedy because you understand them, and they do not understand you.

Within me are a hundred joys, a thousand sorrows, innumerable hopes and heartbreaks, and a small empty corner in which I hide from them all. ~Antonio Porchia

You are most powerful when you are most silent. People never expect silence. They expect words, motion, defense, offense, back and forth. They expect to leap into the fray. They are ready, fists up, words hanging leaping from their mouths. Silence? No.  ~Alison McGhee, All Rivers Flow To The Sea.

I fall for raw conversation, those in which I know the person is not playing, not pretending to be someone they aren't. I fall for carefree, inadvertent smiles, those which aren't intended to impress another. I fall for what is real, I fall for souls, not the skin carrying it .

You don't ask people with knives in their stomachs what would make them happy; happiness is no longer the point. It's all about survival; it's all about whether you pull the knife out and bleed to death or keep it in. -Nick Hornby
