Above all dont lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him or around him and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love.

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved in secret between the shadow and the soul.

This life is what you make it. No matter what youre going to mess up sometimes its a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how youre going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - theyll act like it anyway. But just remember some come some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - theyre your true best friends. Dont let go of them. Also remember sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers well theyll come and go too. And baby I hate to say it most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart but you cant give up because if you give up youll never find your soulmate. Youll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once doesnt mean youre gonna fail at everything. Keep trying hold on and always always always believe in yourself because if you dont then who will sweetie So keep your head high keep your chin up and most importantly keep smiling because lifes a beautiful thing and theres so much to smile about.

When love is not madness it is not love.

It hurts to let go. Sometimes it seems the harder you try to hold on to something or someone the more it wants to get away. You feel like some kind of criminal for having felt for having wanted. For having wanted to be wanted. It confuses you because you think that your feelings were wrong and it makes you feel so small because its so hard to keep it inside when you let it out and it doesnt coma back. Youre left so alone that you cant explain. Damn theres nothing like that is there Ive been there and you have too. Youre nodding your head.

Some people dont understand the promises theyre making when they make them I said.Right of course. But you keep the promise anyway. Thats what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway.

Love all trust a few do wrong to none.

I would always rather be happy than dignified.

I dont trust people who dont love themselves and tell me I love you. ... There is an African saying which is Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.

I can feel Peeta press his forehead into my temple and he asks So now that youve got me what are you going to do with me I turn into him. Put you somewhere you cant get hurt.
