First best is falling in love. Second best is being in love. Least best is falling out of love. But any of it is better than never having been in love.

I don't trust anyone who doesn't laugh.

I've learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as “making a life.”

Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.

When you learn, teach.
When you get, give.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

If I am not good to myself, how can I expect anyone else to be good to me?

You can never be great at anything unless you love it.

You may shoot me with your words.
You may cut me with your eyes.
You may kill me with your hatefulness.
But still, like air, I'll rise.

最好的事就是談戀愛, 其次是沉浸在愛裡, 再來是失戀, 但這些都比從未愛過好。

我從不信任不會笑的人。

我了解到生存不等同於生活。

愛會讓人體悟到超越障礙, 跨過鴻溝, 穿透鐵壁, 到達終點, 並充滿希望。

當你學習時, 要記得教出去。
當你獲得時, 要記得給予。

我了解到人們不會記得你說過的話, 不會記得你做過的事 但是, 他們會記得你給他們的感受。

絕不要讓某人成為你的首選, 特別是你只是他的眾多的選項之一。

還有比藏著不可說的事情更痛苦的事嗎?

如果, 我自己都對自己不好, 如何能要求別人對我好?

你絕對不會做好你不喜歡的事。

你可用你的話刺傷我,
你可以用你的眼神割傷我,
你可用你的仇恨殺掉我,
但是 我仍會崛起 像空氣一般。
