There are different kinds of darkness. There is the darkness that frightens, the darkness that soothes, the darkness that is restful; the darkness of lovers, and the darkness of assassins. It becomes what the bearer wishes it to be, needs it to be. It is not wholly bad or good. ―Sarah J. Maas

Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads, which sew people together through the years.
Yes, it was love at first sight. I feel that after all these years, I have finally found my soulmate.
Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift, which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls, with whom they make up a sole family – a domestic church.
We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.
I think long-lasting, healthy relationships are more important than the idea of marriage. At the root of every successful marriage is a strong partnership.
Anniversaries are like birthdays: occasions to celebrate and to think ahead, usually among friends with whom one shares not only the past but also the future.
The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they’re right if you love to be with them all the time.
A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year
There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.
Crocodiles are easy, they try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.

If you love a flower, dont pick it up. Because if you pick it up it dies and ceases to be what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried
I’ve failed over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that don’t work.
In a day when you don’t come across any problems, you can be sure that you are travelling on a wrong path.
When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it
When your mind says give up, hope whispers one more try
Even a mistake may to turn out to be the one thing necessary to a worthwhile achievement.
Giving up on your goal because of one setback is like slashing your other three tires because you got a flat
Never quit. If you stumble, get back up. What happened yesterday no longer matters. Today is another day, so get on track and move closer to your dreams.
Failure is the key to success. Each mistake teaches us something.
If “plan A” didn’t work, the alphabet has 25 more letters!
We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes.
You were born to be real, not to be perfect
Failure is only the opportunity to begin again, only this time more wisely.
You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life
Failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success
The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.
If you don’t have any shadows, you’re not in the light
Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes
The fact that someone else loves you doesn’t rescue you from the project of loving yourself.

Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If were looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldnt test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.
It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. ItÛªs like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down through the air and thereÛªs a sickly moment of dark surprise.
I dreamed I was a butterfly, flitting around in the sky; then I awoke. Now I wonder: Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man?

Please do not tell me what my husband would do if he loved me. My husband’s a freaking superhero, and you have no idea what you’re talking about.
It’s better to have loved and lost, surely, but try not to lose it at all.
When you’re a mom, you get a front row seat to the best show in town: watching your kids grow up.
Sometimes, in marriage, someone has to be the one to push to make the big moves.
I don’t need anniversaries to see you. I see you every day. You are my daily meteor shower.
The hardest part, Carl, about seeing someone you love in pain is not being able to do anything about it, except try not to make it worse.
You’re not just my great love story, Rebecca, you are my big break. And our love story? I know it may not feel like it right now, baby, but I promise you, it’s just getting started.
Then I realized, I honor his legacy by taking what I learned from the way he lived his life and use it to shape the way I go on living mine.
The moment I saw you, I knew you were my boy. You weren’t a choice, Randall, you were a fact. You were never a replacement son.
If it’s between you and having kids, you win, every time. No question.
If you’re you, it doesn’t matter if you’re the most boring person in the world: someone will like you. You’re not trying to be anyone else.
Some guy was just like, ‘You rap fast, man. Like a little machine gun,’ and from that moment, I was Lil Uzi.
I just take rock songs and mix it with hip-hop and a little bit of R&B.
I really didn’t want to rap; I was just a regular kid.
One thing rap and rock have in common, a lot of it is focused on negativity. I like dark stuff.
I like to look cool and dress nice. Lil Uzi is a rock star. Just know that.
Money comin’ in like I am an investor. She tried to take a break but I already left her.
One thing I could tell you is that I’m all over the place.
I’m just doing me, and to me, that’s what got me this far.
Push me to the edge
All my friends are dead
I’m a prisoner to my addiction I’m addicted to a life that’s so empty and so cold. I’m a prisoner to my decisions.
At one point, I didn’t care. Now I want as many people to hear my music as possible.
Well here comes the sun, You’re in my arms. My denial keeps me on the edge of the chance that you’ll stay through the night.
I want to be remembered as iconic and different.
I’m the drug in your veins, just fight through the pain.
I’m all about evolution. I’m the first person to judge myself.
I’ve grown accustomed to hotels and drastic climate change.
I chose the life, then I realized she might have been the one, I let her go for a little fun.
Baby I’m a pro at letting go, I love it when they come and go.
The Joker is my favorite villain of all time: You don’t know his past; you just know what his plans are.

Happiness is like a butterfly, the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder. ― Henry David Thoreau
Being silly is important. Its the opposite of grief. It’s throwing yourself into a moment without care. You can’t always maintain status as a dignified person- it gives you blinders. When you always expect the world to fulfill your expectations, it wears you down. It closes you off. – S. Colbert

If you have someone you think is the one, take them and travel around the world. Buy a plane ticket for the two of you to travel all over the world, to places that are hard to reach and hard to get out of. And when you land at JFK and youre still in love with that person, get married. Bill Murray

Your ex-wife was brilliant and she slept with me.
We’re hot doctors with babies, they’re gonna stare.

I saw the heart beat today. This is my kid, this is part of me.
We’re going to have the best life, you and me. You can’t die because we’re supposed to end up together. We’re meant to be.
If you love someone, tell ’em. Even if you’re scared that it’s not the right thing, even if you are scared that it’ll cause problems, even if you are scared that it will burn your life to the ground, you say it, and say it out loud. And then you go from there.
We forget that all that matters is people.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.
If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
Everyone has a sense of humor. If you don’t laugh at jokes, you probably laugh at opinions.
When you’re at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on.
Sometimes the most clever thing to say is nothing at all.
If you like me, then raise your hand, If not then raise your standard.
Well, enough about me. Let’s talk about you. What do you think about me?
It’s okay if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right.
Patience: what you have when there are too many witnesses
If you can’t convince them, confuse them
It’s a great act of cleverness to be able to conceal being clever
My clever comebacks usually surface an hour too late
It’s funny how after an argument is over, you think about more clever things you should have said.

I just always be myself no matter who I’m around.
I have a huge drive. I was born with nothing. So I was always brought up like: go get it. No matter what. Even if it’s scoping and poking. Rapping and trapping. You know, I did it. I switched my whole grind up from doing that, from scoping and poking, to just getting in a booth and just doing my thing.
I just hope to continue to be blessed. I know I want to be further than where I’m at today. I know I want to be in a better position than I am in today. Elevate to something bigger. Somebody bigger. Somebody better.
But I feel like I have enough knowledge to get me by in life. Obviously I don’t know everything, but I feel like I have enough knowledge to get me through.
I’m a product of my environment. I grew up in the projects, I’m a project baby. All the project babies can relate to what I say, ‘cause they’re on the same thing.

Everybody wanna shine. Nobody wanna grind.
See, you gotta go against all odds, you know? Boss your life up.
Security in this office park is a joke. Last year I came to work with my spud-gun in a duffel bag. I sat at my desk all day with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged?
In an ideal world, I would have all 10 fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching.
You couldn’t handle my undivided attention.
Nothing stresses me out. Except having to seek the approval of my inferiors.
It’s a real shame because studies have shown that more information gets passed through water cooler gossip than through official memos. Which puts me at a disadvantage because I bring my own water to work.

I come from a long line of fighters. My maternal grandfather was the toughest guy I ever knew. World War II veteran, killed twenty men, and spent the rest of the war in an Allied prison camp. My father battled blood pressure and obesity all his life. Different kind of fight.
