"I find it amusing that we're all pretending to be normal when we could be insanely interesting instead."

"My heart fell out while I was on a walk through the forest and it got covered in pine needles and then an osprey picked it up but she dropped it in the sea and the fish ate a hole straight through it before it was washed ashore and when I found it again chamomiles were growing in the cavity. I put it back inside of me and now the world seems stranger and more beautiful than ever."

"Stop playing it cool - just be passionate and intense and insane and whoever sticks around is meant for you."

"To be alive! Not just the carcass, but the spark. That's crudely put, but... if we're not supposed to dance, why all this music?"

"Almost every woman I have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness, that there is some deep, crazy part within her, that she must be on guard constantly against 'losing control' - of her temper, of her appetite, of her sexuality, of her feelings, of her ambition, of her secret fantasies, of her mind."

"It is not an evil thing to look at yourself with kindness. Your life was never meant to be a punishment."

"Do not grow old, no matter how long you live. Never cease to stand like curious children before the great mystery into which we were born." - Albert Einstein

"Ominous positivity: You will be okay. You have no choice. Everything will turn out fine. You cannot stop it. You will succeed. It is inevitable."

"I've never believed in destiny. No, the stars never whispered my name, my future. I grabbed my own fate with two hungry hands, pulling and pushing and molding my life, leaving smudges and dirty fingerprints all over a once clean soul. My mistakes belong entirely to me. No, the stars never mapped out a path for me to follow, never planned my downfalls, my triumphs. I rule the stars, not the other way around. I take their dust and inject it in my veins; I breath in their light as I live, I live, I live."

"I tell the sun I love her and in return she gives me freckles under my eyes, tans my shoulders, streaks my hair, warms my chest and tells my soul that life is still worth living."
