“Have no fear for giving in, have no fear for giving over, you’d better know that in the end It’s better to say too much then never say what you need to say again. Even if your hands are shaking, and your faith is broken even as the eyes are closing do it with a heart wide open. Say what you need to say.” (John Mayer – Say)

“People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.” (Audrey Hepburn)

“I once dated a guy who kept part of himself hidden. He never gave anyone a chance to accept him. And in the end, everyone lost.” (Gossip Girl)

“But I remembered one thing: it wasn’t me that started acting deaf; it was people that first started acting like I was too dumb to hear or see or say anything at all.” (Chief Bromden, One Flew Over A Cuckoo’s Nest)

“We have a choice everyday: to act on yesterday’s good intentions or to get an early start on tomorrow’s regret.” (Robert Brault)

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”” (C.S. Lewis)

“We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.” (Benjamin Franklin)

“Everybody lies. The only variable is about what.” (Dr. House)

“Some things, however, are true no matter how hard you might try to block them out, and a lie is always a lie, no matter how prettily told. Some doors, once they’re opened, can never be closed again, just as some trust, once it’s been lost, can never be won back.” (Alice Hoffman)

“And I’ll be here by the ocean
Just waiting for proof
that there’s sunsets and silhouette dreams.
All my sand castles fall
like the ashes of cigarettes
And every wave drags me to sea.

I could stand here for hours
Just to ask God the question,
“Is everyone here make-believe?”
With a tear in His voice, He said,
“Son, that’s the question.”
Does this deafening silence
mean nothing to no one but me?”
