“Alexithymia: difficulty describing feelings to other people”

“Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.” ~Marcus Aurelius

“The universe doesn’t care if you’re scared. I know this is not news, but you need to hear this. I’m scared, you’re scared, and we’re all scared. The difference is whether you’re going to keep moving. I really hope you will.” ~Merlin Mann

“The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn’t like to do.” ~Thomas Edison

“Because even if it breaks your heart to be ‘just friends’, if you really care about someone, you’ll take the hit.” ~Zach Braff as John ‘J.D.’ Dorian

“Some people are meant to fall in love with each other, but not meant to be together.” ~(500) Days of Summer

“Many films diminish us. They cheapen us, masturbate our senses, hammer us with shabby thrills, diminish the value of life. Some few films evoke the wonderment of life’s experience, and those I consider a form of prayer. Not prayer “to” anyone or anything, but prayer “about” everyone and everything. I believe prayer that makes requests is pointless. What will be, will be. But I value the kind of prayer when you stand at the edge of the sea, or beneath a tree, or smell a flower, or love someone, or do a good thing. Those prayers validate existence and snatch it away from meaningless routine.” ~Roger Ebert on Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life

“You’ll kiss them, even though you can see they’re sick. Even though you know they’ll make you sick.” ~I Wrote This For You

“We’ll share a soft and subtle kiss, this is bliss, there is no point to it.” ~Pearly Gate Music, Sleeping With Bears
