"The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. It's only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, and fantasies that last. Stone crumbles, wood rots, people, well they die, but things as fragile as thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on."
~Chuck Palahniuk

“How would your life be different if…You stopped allowing other people to dilute or poison your day with their words or opinions? Let today be the day…You stand strong in the truth of your beauty and journey through your day without attachment to the validation of others” ― Steve Maraboli

“Before you can live a part of you has to die. You have to let go of what could have been, how you should have acted and what you wish you would have said differently. You have to accept that you can’t change the past experiences, opinions of others at that moment in time or outcomes from their choices or yours. When you finally recognize that truth then you will understand the true meaning of forgiveness of yourself and others. From this point you will finally be free.” ― Shannon L. Alder

“I won't tell you that the world matters nothing, or the world's voice, or the voice of society. They matter a good deal. They matter far too much.

You have that moment now. Choose!” ― Oscar Wilde

A friend told me each morning we get up we must decide whether we're going to save or savor the world. I don't think that's the decision. I don't think it's an either-or, save or savor. We have to do both, save and savor the world.

-Kate Clinton
