I watch the stars from my windowsill. The whole world is moving, and I'm standing still.

You've got guts to spill, but no-one trustworthy.

She's smiling - is she happy? What does it matter. She looks happy.

Hearts will never be practical until they are made unbreakable.

Here's to the starry nights and careless freedom, to glowing smiles and flushed cheeks from laughter that heals you deep inside.

Don't mistake coincidence with fate.

And would you mind if I sat next to you, and watched you smile?

He's shallow like the shoreline during low tide, but my hopes are not quite as high. Can't spot his faults but he spotted mine.

No one else will have me like you do. No one else will have me, only you.
You'll sit alone forever if you wait for the right time - what are you hoping for?

You better run for your life if you can, little girl. Hide your head in the sand, little girl.

What they say is "nothing lasts forever," what makes love the exception?

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius. And it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

And in case you were wondering, you are like a sunset to me. You're all kinds of beautiful as you end my day, and you sweetly retire as stars chase you away.

Sometimes a girl doesn’t
need anything more than
your hand in hers, & your
thumb gently tracing circles
on the back of her hand

You know that feeling you get
when you’re on a roller coaster
for the first time? Or perhaps
when you hit a bump on the road,
and your stomach feels
like it’s flipping? Well, that’s
the way I feel when I’m around you..

I want you. I want all of you. Forever. You and me. Everyday

And I just know that he warms my heart
And he knows what all my imperfections are
And he says that I am the brightest little firefly in his jar.

The boy saw a comet & suddenly his life had meaning. And when it went away he waited his entire life for it to come back to him. It was more than just a comet because of what it brought into his life. Direction, beauty, meaning. There were many who couldn't understand, & sometimes he walked among them, but even in his darkest hours he knew in his heart that someday it would return to him & his world would be whole again, & his belief in God, & love, & art would be reawakened in his heart.

I just want you to hug me one more time,
because the only thing in this world that
scares me is that I'll never feel that safe again.

Don't let go of what you really want; fight for it.

And she watches him walk away,
wishing she had the confidence to follow.

Every sinner loved a saint to begin with.

If your man isn't giving you
the attention you want,
the affection you desire,
the time you deserve,
& the love you need,
then you need to find someone else who will.

Bottom line...
If you want me, I’m all yours.

This town is colder now. I think it's sick of us.

I wonder what happens if I get to the end of this tunnel and there isn't a light.

& I'm taking all your memories off the shelf. & I don't need you or anybody else

But I'm too tired to go to sleep tonight

Well, this boy I know, he is beautiful. He just gets lost sometimes in his chemicals.

I don't like how it feels when I think of him.

Kill or be killed

Words are never enough.

All my friends are far behind. I'm stuck with you tonight. But we’d be better alone.

My heart's made of glass. Don’t you break it.

But normal life seems so boring, so I'm trying to lose my mind.

My head, it tends to stray away. Sometimes I can't see clear.

You’re bound to make a mess of me.

When the seasons change, and the sky turns grey, when the leaves turn brown, I'll be around.

The truth would break you in two.

I hope you can't sleep and you scream about it. I hope your conscience eats at you, and you can't breathe without me.

I used to believe in a lot more. Now, I just see straight ahead. That’s not to say I don't have good times. But as for my days, I spend them waiting.

Don’t be so quick to judge me. You only see what I choose to show.

& If I cry a little, die a little, at least I'll know I lived.

I want to feel. I don't care if I breakdown.

Your eyes are only seeing grey, and you'll drink the rest of your days away.

You can fake it for a while. Bite your tongue and smile.

But I could explode when our eyes meet.

The last thing we need is this.

There is blood on all the shoes you've worn from the people you've been stepping on. There is blood in all the things you say. I won't hate it if you go away.

& I'm leaving because here, is where my hate was born.

I want to change the world, instead I sleep. I want to believe in more than you and me. But all I know is I'm breathing. All I can do is keep breathing.

So if you tell me that you'll have me, never leave me.

Take what you want, my head is full.

& I can't get myself to go away. God, I shouldn't feel this way.

You think you have control.

One day you're gonna look at me and say, "Wow. She was my best friend." I'm going to look at you, and think, "Wow, that was the first boy I ever loved."

What happened to those girls? The ones that were supposed to grow old together, and marry those stupid boys they always loved? What happened to those girls that sat up all night prank calling boys that hurt them? What happened to the girls that pinky promised they'd be best friends forever?

It's hard to get over people.
I mean really get over them.
You can start to have feelings
for other people, but it doesn't
mean you're over them. It just
means you're moving on

If a boy really likes you,
he won't care how tired he is
or how much homework he has
or how late it is...
he'll talk to you

I love how I can be a total dork around you
and yet you still make me feel absolutely amazing

How that kid
made her smile from
across the country
is beyond me

Just ask her if she thinks about him.
She'll think back to an old memory,
close her eyes and smile.
She'll say, "Yeah, every once in a while."

Here's my philosophy on dating.
It's important to have somebody that can make you laugh,
somebody you can trust,
somebody that, you know, turns you on...
And it's really important
that these three people don't know each other...

Someone asked me,
"why do you like him so much?"
But before I could even reply my best friend put her hand over my mouth
& said, "don't even get her started."

Eric: So I said to myself, "Kyle..."
Alan: Kyle?
Eric: That's what I call myself
++Boy meets world

I don’t think adults understand all the things teenagers go through,
they act like our life is stress free, and easy as can be.
While we sit here and battle drugs, bullying, eating disorders.
Sure, we’ve got so much time to live,
but what happens when we don’t want to anymore?
What happens when you give up?
Why isn’t anyone there to help us?

I wanna be the girl that you see and
stop dead in the middle of a conversation
just to look at.

& he's the kind of guy that makes you
love your name just because of
the way he says it.

everyone worries so much about themselves. there's nothing happening to you that means anything at all.

Note to self:
I miss you terribly.

In the day by day collision of growing up,
there's an innocence we look for in the stars.
to be taken back to younger days,
when there was no giving up on the people we held
closest to our hearts.

& she's knows he's out of her league,
but the way he smiles at her gives her just the tiniest bit of hope,
& that hope is what keeps her holding on.

You know it's meant to be when even the times you can't stand him, he's the only person on your mind.

everytime someone looks at an old picture of him
you always tell them...
i used to have the hugest crush on "that guy"
but deep in your heart you know that you
wonder if he's ever said...
i used to have the biggest crush on "that girl "

i didn't sleep at all last night. my mind would wander off to thoughts of you. not how great you are or about distant memories of us. no. that ship has sailed. this time, i thought about how you shattered my heart & all of the ways i could set fire to your things without getting caught.

Memories come and go like a dream lost in the night,
but I remember everything about you and how you came
and changed my life.

but finding someone who makes
you laugh, who you can be yourself
with, who loves you for just who you
are? that's the biggest blessing you
could ever ask for.

Maybe she's not the most beautiful
girl in the world, and maybe she's not
the brightest crayon in the box, but she's
real, without even trying. and that thing
right there is natural beauty.

Tell your family that you love them everyday,
give your best friend the biggest hug in the
world, & cherish every moment you share with
your lover, because you never know when it
will be your last time experiencing it.

everything happens for a reason.nothing
happens by chance or by means of good luck.
illness, injury, love, lost moments of true
greatness & sheer stupidity all occur to
test the limits of your soul. without these
small tests,life would be a smoothly paved,
straight, flat road to nowhere, safe &
comfortable, but dull & utterly pointless

It's ironic how when a person likes someone,
they don't do anything about it because they
are so scared of rejection. Yet, a lot of times,
it turns out, that person you were so scared
of telling them how you felt, actually felt the
same way and just waited for you to do
something.

the two best times to keep your mouth shut
are when you're swimming & when you're angry.

He looked at me & said, "do you ever feel like you're working for something that you're never going to get? Your shoot-&-miss kind of deal. Like no matter what, you can't have it but that makes you fight for it just a little bit harder?" I looked at him for a second & replied, "...everyday"

What I like best about you is
that you can make me laugh
when nothing is funny.

Goodbye is the hardest thing to say
to someone who means the world to you,
especially when goodbye isn’t what you want.

I hate how we don't talk for weeks but then all
of a sudden you talk to me again.
Its like nothing happened and I slowly start
falling for you all over again.

I just want someone to care for me like you did
before I wasn't good enough.

For one split second, she almost turned around.
But that would be like pouring raindrops back into a cloud.

A guy and a girl can be just friends. But at one point or another, they will fall for each other.. Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late, or maybe forever...

She waits for that phone call. The one where he says he made the biggest mistake of his life in letting her go and that he wants to be with her again, even though she knows it will never come.

The opposite of love isn't hate, it's indifference.
If you hate someone, you still care.

Always be the first-rate version of yourself,
instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak;
courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Sing because you love the noise.
Shout for something filled with joy.
You might be the reason someone lives.
Just take what life gives.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
- Audrey Hepburn

Don`t worry about it. It`s time to move on. You`ll have your friends to confide in, to find comfort in, to cherish. & he`ll have his stupid guitar, his ugly face, & his..nothing. You`ll be strong enough to go about daily life without him. & he`ll try to catch your eye, & raise his voice just to get noticed by you. So don`t worry about it. He`s not worth your attention. Not anymore.

No matter how ugly you think you are,
that special someone that loves you
believes that you are
the most beautiful and urresistible thing on earth
& nothing can ever change that.

It's the people you hug and never want to let go. The people you haven't seen in years but they haven't changed at all. The people who give more to you than you give to them. The people who truly understand who you are. The people you cry about. The ones you live for. It's the people in your photographs with genuine light shining through their eyes and smile. The people who take your breath away.

Finally, I have found a place into which I fit perfectly, safely and securely with no doubts, no fears, no sadness, no tears. This place is filled with happiness and laughter, yet it is spacious enough to allow me the freedom to move around, to live my life and to be myself. This wonderful place, which I never believed really existed, I have found finally, in your arms, in your heart, in your love.

You've got to follow your passion. You've got to figure
out what it is that you love - who you really are and you
have to have the courage to do that. I believe that the only
courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your
dreams.

A true and strong first love shapes part of your heart. It shows you what to do and tells you where to start.

She loves regardless of everything
that has stained her life. She loves with
everything she has left, and that's beautiful.

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the
quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again
tomorrow."

I wish you would step back from the ledge, my friend.
I will understand.

No matter what someone tells you, there's a
person out there that's meant to wake up next
to you every morning.

Once you figure out who you are and
what you love about yourself, I think
everything else just falls into place.

Hope is the most exciting thing in life. If you honestly
believe that love is out there, it will come and even if
it doesn't come straight away, there is still that chance
all through your life that it will.

Stories wait for endings but songs are brave
things bold enough to sing when all they
know is darkness.

I'm the kind of girl who can talk to a total stranger about anything and everything, but I can't tell my best friend how much I'm hurting. I can let people know that I'm young and not worry about it, but I can't tell them how much I miss being younger. I hate not being invited to parties only cause I feel so alone, and I can't understand how I don't have many friends. I'm the kind of girl that can be easy to fall for and the kind of girl who falls easily. I'm the kind of girl who can pick herself up and I can switch my feelings in a minute.

Don't base your decisions on the advice of
people who don't have to deal with the results.

I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your cologne on my clothes and I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night and it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Love, easy word to spell. Most people throw it around like it's nothing. But it's something. It's that "I can live without you, I just don't want to" kinda feeling that you get when you see that special someone. It's more than romance, and more than the exchange of sweet words.

I'm starting to realize that we live in
order to change someone else's life.

Become the girl you want to be, the one who guys
can't forget, the one who goes out all the time, the
one who can be anything she wants.

All I know is that passion can take you up like a house of cards in a tornado, leaving destruction in it's wake or it can let you alone because you have built a stone wall against it, set out the armed guards to keep it from touching you. The real trick is to let it in, but to hold on, to understand that the heart is as vast and wise as the universe, but that we come to know it best from here, this place of gravity and stability, where our feet can still touch the ground.

Promise me you won't settle for less than you
deserve and don't let anyone tell you you're not
good enough because I've seen you at your
worst and it's far better than I deserve.
