It's realizing you have no choice but to believe that things can get better,

because the alternative is giving up.

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

You're a very special young man, billy. It's time you found that out on your own, out there. The world may not be as terrible as you think.
-Joe Meno; The Boy Detective Fails

Out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can.
-Barack Obama

I've never been convinced that happiness is the object of the game. I'm wary of happiness.
-Hugh Laurie

So let's cause a scene. Clap our hands and stomp our feet or something.
-The Format

Take wrong turns. Talk to Strangers. Open unmarked doors. And if you see a group of people in a field, go find out what they're doing. Do things without always knowing how they'll turn out.You're curious and smart and bored and all you see is the choice between working hard and slacking off. There are so many adventures that you miss because you're waiting to think of a plan. To find them, look for tiny interesting choices and remember that you are always making up the future as you go.
-xkcd

For as long as you have the strength to, say yes.
-Stephen Colbert

The ball is round. The game is 90 minutes. That's a fact. Everything else is pure theory. Here we go!
-Run Lola Run

Geologists may have mapped out the planet's tectonic plates - hidden shelves of rock that grind one against the other, forming mountains, creating continents - but they can't plot the fault lines that run through our heads, divide our hearts.
-Anderson Cooper; Dispatches From The Edge

At some point though, the disorientation fades. You put it behind you; go on. There is an adventure waiting. Life happening. It's not your life, but it's as close as you'll get.
-Anderson Cooper; Dispatches From The Edge

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the person I was born to be, if the life I've lived really is the one I was meant to, or if it is some half life, a mutation engineered by loss, cobbled togehter by the will to survive.
-Anderson Cooper; Dispatches From The Edge

Even monstrosities can become mundane if you stand too close
-Anderson Cooper; Dispatches From The Edge

Every story has a smell. I don't always notice it at first. Sometimes it takes days before it weaves itself into the fabric of my clothing and sinks into some dark corner of my cortex, becoming a memory
Anderson Cooper; Dispatches From The Edge

That's the thing about suicide. No matter how much you try to remember how that person lived his life, you can't forget how he ended it.
Anderson Cooper; Dispatches From The Edge

The world has many edges and all of us dangle from them by a very delicate thread. The key is to not let go.
Anderson Cooper; Dispatches From The Edge

Pain is an event. It happens to you, and you deal with it in whatever way you can.
-Hugh Laurie; The Gun Seller

Find out who you are and do it on purpose.
-Dolly Parton

Do all the wonderful things happen when we're not aware of them?
-Jodi Picoult; My Sister's Keeper

I'm fine. I mean... not that I'm completely okay.
But little by little, it's getting easier to pretend it's easier.
Which means easier might. be. right. around. the corner.
-Kelley Sheehan

I wonder how stars get made. If it's a slow crushing progression or a faster, more cataclysmic event. Either way, I doubt there is much thinking going on.

elicia8; Anthropology

I thought it would be easy, lying in the tub and seeing the redness flower from my wrists, flush after flush through the clear water, till I sank to sleep under the surface as gaudy as poppies. But when it came right down to it, the skin of my wrist looked so white and defenseless that I couldn't do it. It was as if what I wanted to kill wasn't in that skin or the thin blue pulse that jumped under my thumb, but somewhere else, deeper, more secret, and a whole lot harder to get at.
-Sylvia Plath; The Bell Jar

The silence depressed me. It wasn't the silence of silence. It was my own silence. knew perfectly well the cars were making a noise, and the people in them and behind the lit windows of the buildings were making a noise, and the river was making a noise, but I couldn't hear a thing. The city hung in my window, flat as a poster, glittering and blinking, but it might just as well not have been there at all, for the good it did me.
-Sylvia Plath; The Bell Jar

There ought, I thought, to be a ritual for being born twice - patched, retreaded and approved for the road.
-Sylvia Plath; The Bell Jar

The stranger in the lavatory mirror puts on the public grin, repeats our name but scrupulously reflects the usual terror.
-Sylvia Plath; Tale of a Tub

Men at some time are masters of their fates:
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves.
-Shakespeare; Julius Ceasar

Game, my ass. Some game. If you get on the side where all the hot-shots are, then it's a game, all right— I'll admit that. But if you get on the other side, where there aren't any hot-shots, then what's a game about it? Nothing. No game.
-J.D Salinger; Catcher In The Rye

Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around— nobody big, I mean— except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff— I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's crazy.
-J.D Salinger; Catcher In The Rye

No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.
-F. Scott Fitzgerald; The Great Gatsby

You never really understand a person until you see things from his point of view, until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.
-Harper Lee; To Kill A Mockingbird

Do what you can where you are with what you have.
-Theodore Roosevelt

Be who you are and say what you feel because people who mind don't matter and people who matter don't mind.
-Dr. Seuss

My mind is my own church.
-Thomas Paine

I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.
-Vincent Van Gogh

I wish they would only take me as I am.
-Vincent Van Gogh

Our greatest glory consists not in never failing, but in rising every time we fall.
-Vincent Van Gogh

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
-Vincent Van Gogh

There is no terror in a bang, only in the anticipation of it.
-Alfred Hitchcock

I would like to believe there is a place of some kind where you meet people who have died - famous people, presidents, scientists, everyone you love - but that does not seem reasonable
-Joe Meno; The Boy Detective Fails

Patients once thought to be profoundly comatose began to again register all the symptoms of life.
-Joe Meno; The Boy Detective Fails
