“People talk about how fast life can go from good to bad. How on day you’re happy, everything is going fine, and then something happens. Someone dies or someone leaves. There’s an illness or an accident. Life as you know it slips away. But it can got the other way too. You can go from god-awful to pretty OK in a single day. That’s what happened to us, and it was just as jarring.”

“I always thought that if two people like each other they will be happy all day every day, but that’s not how it is at all. The closer you get the more confused you become. Getting closer just creates a feeling of uncertainty.”

“Boys break your heart; men pick up the pieces.”

Men are like that sometimes - if they meet someone and fall in love, it's real, no matter how fast it happened. But if someone falls for a woman they happened to care about, all they do is question the man's intentions.

“When you’re struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it’s just as hard as what you’re going through.”

“I want you to know that I still believe in the gift of love. I want you to believe in it too. You deserve that in your life, for nothing is more fulfilling than love itself.”

“I’ve learnt that no matter how much I care, some people are just assholes. I’ve learned that it takes years to build up trust, and it only takes suspicion - not proof, to destroy it. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t compare yourself to others; they’re more screwed up than you think. I’ve learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away.”

“I’d love to tell you that everything’s going to be okay. That’s what everyone told me, but it’s just not. You can stay here or you can go back; either way, it’s going to suck. But I figure, at least when it sucks, you know you’re alive. I guess what I’m trying to say is, it’s okay when everything sucks. It means you’re somewhere.”

“What sort of things do fans talk to you about because of Samantha?
KC: Anything from thongs to vibrators. That’s the least of it: fellatio, how to control the taste of a man’s semen. I mean, once I was on a date, you know, and I just really have to say that that was a difficult period. But it’s kind of calmed down. I’m at a fish counter and this guy comes up to me and says, ‘You know, I just have to thank you. Thank you so much. There’s no way I could have really broached the subject about sex with my daughter without your help. Thank you.’ I’m at the fish counter with the father of a 13-year-old girl. I mean, at the same time it’s wonderful, but I’m like, ‘Just give me the clams and let me get the f**k out of here.’” — Kim Cattrall who plays Samantha Jones on Sex and the City in an interview with The Mirror.

Sometimes people write the things that they can’t say.
“If I stay, there can be no party. I must be out there in the night, staying vigilante. Wherever a party needs to be saved, I’m there. Wherever there are masks, wherever there’s tomfoolery and joy, I’m there. But sometimes I’m not ‘cause I’m in the night, staying vigilante — watching, lurking, running, jumping, hurdling, sleeping. No, I can’t sleep — you sleep. I’m awake. I don’t sleep, I don’t blink. Am I a bird? No. I’m a bat. I am Batman. Or am I? Yes, I am Batman.”

“Meredith is whole and healed. I love the scene where she tells April that it took her forever to find Derek and then it took her forever to realize she wanted to be his wife, have his kids. That’s a changed woman. The very fact that being pregnant makes her happy makes her a changed woman. And then she lost the baby. It took my breath away.”
—Shonda Rhimes (greywriters.com) (via greenequalslife)
“I suck with words. but sometimes, words aren’t the thing. Love isn’t about words; it’s about what you do. And what I did, running away, it was stupid. We both know love is a big, scary, evil concept. But if you feel it, it’s going to follow you around like a hungry dog. I didn’t mean to say that love is a dog. I just mean I’m not going anywhere. I love you. If love beats me up, let’s just beat it up right back. We can do this. If you’re ready to make the jump, I’ll be right there to catch you.”

“I’ve learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there’s always two sides. I’ve learned that it’s taking me a long time to become the person I want to be. I’ve learned that it’s a lot easier to react than it is to stop and think. I’ve learned that you either control your attitude or it controls you. I’ve learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had, and what you’ve learned from them, than how many birthdays you’ve celebrated. I’ve learned that quanity is more important than quality when it comes to friends. I’ve learned that it isn’t enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you just have to learn how to forgive yourself. I’ve learned that no matter how badly your heart is broken, the world won’t stop for you. I’ve learned that backgrounds and circumstances might have influenced who you are, but we are responsible for the people we become. I’ve learned that you can’t make somebody love you, all you can do is be somebody who can be loved. I’ve learned that the word ‘love’ has many meanings, but it loses value when over-used and most importantly, I’ve learned that no matter how old or wise you think you are, life never stops teaching.”

“There is always one person you love who becomes that definition. It usually happens retrospectively, but it happens eventually. This is the person who unknowingly sets the template for what you will always love about other people, even if some of these lovable qualities are self-destructive and unreasonable. The person who defines your understanding of love is not inherently different than anyone else; they’re often just the person you happen to meet the first time you really, really, want to love someone. But that person still wins. They win, and you lose. Because for the rest of your life, they will control how you feel about everyone else.”
—Chuck Klosterman (via homesickletters)
“I need to see you face to face… because I’m never as good as when you’re there… and I can see myself the way you look at me. And I’m sorry. If we could just get together and find some time to talk. Let’s say all the things we never said.”
