Message in a bottle


"Things are not always what they seem; the first appearance deceives many; the intelligence of a few perceives what has been carefully hidden."
"Happy families are all alike. Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."
"We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark. The real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light."
"Without a family, man, alone in the world, trembles with the cold."
"No matter how dark the moment, love and hope are always possible."
“A child can escape the shadows.”
"Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it."
"In order for the light to shine so brightly, the darkness must be present."
"...within the core of each of us is the child we once were. This child constitutes the foundation of what we have become, who we are, and what we will be."
"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it."
While we try to teach our children all about life our children teach us what life is all about”
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
"A weak man has doubts before a decision. A strong man has them afterwards."
“Whenever you do a thing, act as if all the world were watching.”

"I have loved to the point of madness; That which is called madness, That which to me, is the only sensible way to love."
“Every drop in the ocean counts.”
“This is what is hardest: to close the open hand because one loves.”
"The basis of shame is not some personal mistake of ours, but that this humiliation is seen by everyone."
"A sad soul can kill you quicker, far quicker, than a germ."
“There is no refuge from memory and remorse in this world. The spirits of our foolish deeds haunt us, with or without repentance.”
"We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out."
“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
"Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity, nothing exceeds the criticisms made of the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed."
The reserve of modern assertions is sometimes pushed to extremes, in which the fear of being contradicted leads the writer to strip himself of almost all sense and meaning.”
"The strength of a family, like the strength of an army, is in its loyalty to each other."
"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do."
"For we pay a price for everything we get or take in this world; and although ambitions are well worth having, they are not to be cheaply won."
"Monsters are real, and ghosts are real too. They live inside us, and sometimes, they win."
"To follow by faith alone is to follow blindly."
"Sometimes there are no words. No clever quotes to neatly sum up what's happened that day... sometimes the day... just... ends."
