In this there is no measuring with time, a year doesn’t matter, and ten years are nothing. Being an artist means: not numbering and counting, but ripening like a tree, which doesn’t force its sap, and stands confidently in the storms of spring, not afraid that afterward summer may not come.

I’ve chosen my life — now I want to start living it. Stephenie Meyer
He was the tallest, thinnest, weariest boy I had ever seen in my life. He was brilliant. He had gorgeous brown eyes, and he had only two suits. He was completely unhappy, and I didn't know why. J. D. Salinger
Rick Warren quote: "Surrender . . .sacrificing my life or suffering in order to..."
Surrender . . .sacrificing my life or suffering in order to change what needs to be changed Rick Warren
If it's true that every seven years each cell in your body dies and is replaced, then I have truly inherited my life from a dead man; and the misdeeds of those times have been forgiven, and are buried with his bones. Neil Gaiman
I regret nothing. There have been things I missed, but I ask no questions, because I have loved it, such as it has been, even the moments of emptiness, even the unanswered-and that I loved it, that is the unanswered in my life. Ayn Rand
Jenny, all my life I have wanted to do miracles. I have wanted to be holy. I suppose it was ambition or pride or some other unworthy thing. It was not enough for me to conquer the world--I wanted to conquer heaven too. T. H. White
Marguerite Duras quote: "Very early in my life it was too late."
Very early in my life it was too late. Marguerite Duras
