“The reason that most of us are unhappy most of the time is that we set our goals—not for the person we’re going to be when we reach them—we set our goals for the person we are when we set them.” ~Jim Coudal

“I love this part. This is the part where your heart races a bit, your stomach feels like it’s free floating, and your face has a slight smile on it that can’t be wiped off. This is the part where things are about to get really good, and you know they’re about to get really good, and sometimes that’s more satisfying than when you get whatever it is you’re waiting for.” ~Scarlett Schmaus

“Unless it’s mad, passionate, extraordinary love, it’s a waste of your time. There are too many mediocre things in life. Love shouldn’t be one of them.” ~Dream for an Insomniac

“Most people, when they go to college, they’re generally under the impression that there’s about thirteen jobs in the world. That’s all the jobs that exist; you have thirteen choices for what you want to do for the rest of your life. Oh and by the way you have to decide that now. As a college sophomore. Because there’s no changing later. Whatever it is you pick, that is going to be your job. Forever. You can’t change it. Whenever you walk into a job, even twenty years later, you’re going to have to show them your degree, and say ‘This is my major. This is what I have to do.’. Oh and by the way, once you have that degree, you’re entitled to that job forever. That’s it. As soon as you’re handed that degree, a big crowd of employers are going to run up to you at graduation and hand you a bunch of proposals and job offers and you get to pick the best one. Anywhere you want to live, with enough money to buy a house.” ~Marco Arment

“It Takes as Much Energy to Wish as it Does to Plan.” ~Eleanor Roosevelt

“Each night I imagine my heart is a spinning ball of light that shines brighter and spins faster the more I think about it. So I can give that light to you in the morning.” ~I Wrote This For You

“‘I’m bored’ is a useless thing to say. I mean, you live in a great, big, vast world that you’ve seen none percent of. Even the inside of your own mind is endless, it goes on forever, inwardly, do you understand? The fact that you’re alive is amazing, so you don’t get to say ‘I’m bored.’” ~Louis C.K.

“Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week.” ~Spanish Proverb

“If I had more time, I would have written you a shorter letter.” ~Blaise Pascal

“It’s so repellant to me. This constant mantra about how some people have this special thing. I don’t know why you’re not where you want to be, but all I’m saying is, well, they don’t and they’re just making sacrifices you’re not willing to make yet. And that doesn’t make anyone good or bad, but is a really lame excuse to constantly look at every case in the world and act like it’s some special exception or you didn’t have access to what they had, or you don’t live in Brooklyn, or you don’t have a cute wife, or whatever it is.” ~Merlin Mann
