Quotes

From Books/Movies/TV:

How do you pick up the threads of an old life?
How do you go on when in your heart you came to understand there is no going back?
There are some things that time cannot mend, some hurts that go too deep that have taken hold.
– Frodo Baggins, The Return of the King

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more…
- Lord Byron

The thing about addiction is, it never ends well. Because eventually whatever it is that’s getting us high stops feeling good and starts to hurt.

- Meredith, Grey’s Anatomy S04E01

But heres the truth: the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Oh, sometimes, change is … everything.
- Meredith, Grey’s Anatomy S04E01

-Denny, Grey’s Anatomy

…people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.
- Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

The reason death sticks so closely to life isn’t biological necessity – it’s envy. Life is so beautiful that death has fallen in love with it…
