People come, people go. They’ll drift in and out of your life,

almost like characters in your favorite book. When you finally

close the cover, the characters have told their story and you have

no choice but to start up again with another book- another experience.

Some women choose to follow a man.

Others choose to follow their dreams.

Just remember your career will never

wake up one morning, and leave you.

Meredith: Hey.

Derek: Hey. You almost died today.

Meredith: Yeah, I almost died today. ... I can't, I can't remember our last kiss. All I could think about was "I'm going to die today," and I can't remember our last kiss. Which, is pathetic but the last time we were together and happy, I... want to be able remember that, and I can't Derek. I can't remember.

Derek: I'm glad you didn't die today. [Starts to leave but stops] It was a Thursday morning, you were wearing that ratty little 'Dartmouth' T-shirt you look so good in, the one with the hole at the back of the neck. You'd just washed you hair and you smelled like some kind of...flower. I was running late for surgery, you said you were going to see me later, and you leaned into me, put your hand on my chest and you kissed me. Soft. It was quick. Kinda like a habit. You know, like we'd do it every day for the rest of our lives. And you went back reading the newspaper and I went to work. That was the last time we kissed.

– Grey’s Anatomy

From now on, you can expect that I'm gonna show up.

Even if I yell. Even if you yell. I'm always gonna show up. Okay?

Other things may change us,
but we start and end with family.

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure

is trying to please everyone. – Bill Cosby

You don’t always have to hold your
head higher than your heart.

The sky isn't always blue,

the sun doesn't always shine.

I guess that means that it’s all right to fall apart sometimes.

Love is like the wind, you can't
see it but you can feel it.

Never in a million years did I think I'd find someone so utterly

and completely perfect. Someone who makes me happier than

I have ever dreamed I could be. Someone that would touch my

life so profoundly and just give me a whole new reason to breathe.

But then I found you and realized that everything I anticipated you

to be, doesn't even compare to what you are.

Sometimes you've got to run away to see who will run after you.

Sometimes you've got to talk quieter to see who's really listening.

Sometimes you've got to step up to fight only to see who's standing

by your side. Sometimes you've got to make a wrong decision only to

see who's there to help you fix it. Sometimes you've got to let go of the

one you love just to see if they love you enough to come back to you.

As soon as I accept that you're gone,
you come back.

I’ve learned a lot this year. I’ve learned that things don't always turn

out the way you planned, or the way you think they should. I’ve learned

that there are things that go wrong that don't always get fixed or get put

back together the way they were before. I’ve learned that some broken

things stay broken, and I’ve learned that you can get through bad times and

keep looking for better ones, as long as you have people who love you.

I believe laughing is the best calorie burner.
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be
going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.
I believe that tomorrow is another day.
I believe in miracles. – Audrey Hepburn

If you have to try and convince yourself you don't
care about someone, you care
about them more than you think.

Letting go isn't a one-time thing.

It's something that you do every day,

over and over again. – Dawson’s Creek

When a person tells you you’re not good enough,

that’s when you know your better.

Life is too short. Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Laugh when
you can, apologize when you should, and let go of what you can`t change.
Love deeply and forgive quickly. Take chances and give everything. You have
to take the good with the bad, smile when your sad, love what you`ve got, and
always remember what you had. Always forgive but never forget. Learn from your
mistakes, but never regret. People change and things go wrong, but always
remember, life goes on.

I’m far from what I once was,

but not yet what I’m going to be.

I usually don't like thinking about the future. I mean, let's face it,

you can't predict what's going to happen. But sometimes, the thing

you didn't expect is what you really wanted after all. Maybe the best

thing to do is just stop trying to figure out where you’re going, and

enjoy where you’re at.

You can't change who people are

without destroying who they were. – The Butterfly Effect

If karma doesn’t hit you,
I will.

It was a great story to be a
part of, but it happened a long
time ago. – One Tree Hill

The reason he'd broken up with her was, ironically, for her own good.
He knew that if he asked her to drop everything and follow him across the earth,
she'd do it. If the roles were reversed, though, he wouldn't. They were at different
places in the same relationship, and like anything that's out of alignment, they were
destined to crash sooner or later. By taking care of it early and gently, he liked to
think he was only trying to keep her from getting her heart broken even harder.

Some succeed because they are destined.

Some succeed because they are determined.

I’ve learned that we don't have to change friends

if we understand that friends change.

Change is a funny thing. We are never quite sure what we are becoming,

or why. Then one day we look at ourselves and wonder who we are,

and how we got there.

Maybe we are meant to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one
so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful
for that gift. Maybe it is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but
it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love isnever an assurance that they will love you back.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just
make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those
who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for
only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made
up of little things. – Frank A. Clark

Sometimes we expect more from others because we would be

willing to do that much for them.

We've loved each other.

Passionately, flawlessly, whole-heartedly.

Just never at the same time.

Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, do you think

God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient?

If someone prays for courage, does God give them courage, or does he give

them opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for their family to be

closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give

them opportunities to love each other?

The happiest people don't have it all,

They just make the best out of what they have.

There's a huge difference between giving up and letting go.

Giving up is sacrificing what was rightfully yours, and

letting go is forgetting what never was.

Don't expect of others what you would expect of yourself.
