Atticus

She was not for everyone, but she was for me.

If you believe, you will. If you don’t, you won’t.

For to tempt and to be tempted are things very nearly allied – whenever feeling has anything to do in the matter, no sooner is it excited than we have already gone vastly farther than we are aware of.

We’re so afraid of each other… Colour, wealth, these things that don’t really matter still play too much of a role in how we see one another. And it’s sad, because the thing that least defines us is the colour of our skin.

And you know, there’s less charm in life when you think about death–but it’s more peaceful.

You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge.

Isn’t it amazing how easily you can cheat yourself out of the right choices by convincing yourself that you “deserve” the wrong ones? It’s highly illogical when you think about it. You deserve a better life, you deserve better health, and you deserve to lose weight.

Be your authentic self. Your authentic self is who you are when you have no fear of judgment, or before the world starts pushing you around and telling you who you’re supposed to be. Your fictional self is who you are when you have a social mask on to please everyone else. Give yourself permission to be your authentic self.

Since the past is unreal and the future is unreal, all your thoughts are about nothing.

You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.

It is easier to get into something than to get out of it.

I beg you take courage; the brave soul can mend even disaster.

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.

Know people for who they are rather than for what they are.

The only thing you can give a man without hurting him is an opportunity.

The way out is through the door. Why is it that no one will use this method?
