The quote in the movie New Year’s Eve that made me cry:
“It’s suspended there to remind us before we pop the champagne and celebrate the new year, to stop and reflect on the year that has gone by.
To remember both our triumphs and our missteps, our promises made and broken. The times we opened ourselves up to great adventures or closed ourselves down for fear of getting hurt because that is what new years is all about- getting another chance.
A chance to forgive, to do better, to do more, to give more, to love more. And stop worrying about what if and start embracing what would be. So when that ball drops at midnight and it will drop, let’s remember to be nice to each other, kind to each other. And not just tonight but all year long.”
- Claire Morgan (played by Hilary Swank), New Year’s Eve.

“But who can say what’s best? That’s why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a life time, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives.”
—Haruki Murakami (via ireadintothings)
“I love that moment. When you’re on a long car ride, or listening to music, or reading. And you completely zone out. You forget your troubles, and everyone around you. You’re focused on that one thing, and that one thing only. You’re content, and everything seems peaceful.”

—Audrey Hepburn (via kari-shma)
“But there’s a story behind everything. How a picture got on a wall. How a scar got on your face. Sometimes the stories are simple, and sometimes they are hard and heartbreaking.”
—Mitch Albom (via kari-shma)
“The beauty of truth: whether it is bad or good, it is liberating.”
—Paulo Coelho (via thresca)
“You alone are enough. You have nothing to prove to anybody.”

“In desperate love, we always invent the characters of our partners, demanding they be what we need of them, and then feeling devastated when they refuse to perform the role we created in the first place.”
—Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)
“One reason we struggle with insecurity: we’re comparing our behind the scenes to everyone else’s highlight reel.”
—Steven Furtick (via jesssica)
“But life is a battle: may we all be enabled to fight it well!”
—Charlotte Brontë (via kari-shma)
“Sometimes I lie awake at night and I ask, “Is life a multiple choice test or is it a true or false test?” …Then a voice comes to me out of the dark and says, “We hate to tell you this but life is a thousand word essay.”
— Charles M. Schulz (via justbesplendid)
