I can't go back to being who I used to be!'Hadley looked down at him sympathetically.'None of us can, kid.' he said. 'That's the point. You get what you get. Life changes you. Time travel or no, you always have to build on what you live through.
Margaret Peterson Haddix
Everyone thought they would be friends for decades, forever. But for most people, of course, that hadn't happened. As you got older, you realized that the qualities you valued in the people you slept with or dated weren't necessarily the ones you wanted to live with, or be with, or plod through your days with. If you were smart, and if you were lucky, you learned this and accepted this. You figured out what was most important to you and you looked for it, and you learned to be realistic.
Hanya Yanagihara
It seems that life is all about timing. Sometimes the timing is perfect for something you want, and the events come together perfectly. It’s at those times when you think life couldn’t get any better. Opportunities are presented to you, and you make the right decisions at the right times. You feel as if your life is gaining speed.Then suddenly, it seems that the universe changes. You’ve stepped out of the flow, or time has sped up or slowed down. You try to make things happen even though the timing is wrong, and it’s like you’re swimming upstream.
Alex Z. Moores
The evening that Al and I met became the night that we met. By the time we fell asleep at daybreak we were different people
Ruth Ahmed
Life is a funny thing. We claim it to be our own; but the truth is, it's not. It belongs to something much bigger. We, like everything else, are transient. This life is temporary and everything about us is temporary. What we call our life is nothing more than borrowed energy from something much bigger--nature, the universe, God--whatever floats your boat. And one day, when we pass, we will give that energy back to the world we borrowed it from in the first place.
Leanne Waters
There are a few things I've learned over the years. One is that time doesn't stop for anyone; hurdling forward and onward, unstoppable and catastrophic.
Shawn Michael Severud
To Nature nothing can be added; from Nature nothing can be taken away; the sum of her energies is constant, and the utmost man can do in the pursuit of physical truth, or in the applications of physical knowledge, is to shift the constituents of the never-varying total. The law of conservation rigidly excludes both creation and annihilation. Waves may change to ripples, and ripples to waves; magnitude may be substituted for number, and number for magnitude; asteroids may aggregate to suns, suns may resolve themselves into florae and faunae, and floras and faunas melt in air: the flux of power is eternally the same. It rolls in music through the ages, and all terrestrial energy—the manifestations of life as well as the display of phenomena—are but the modulations of its rhythm.
John Tyndall
The energy everything is made of is conscious. It's alive.
Chris Prentiss
No one, good or evil, ceases to exist; life is energy and energy cannot be created or destroyed; it is recycled.
Patricia D. Cornwell
Your treasure - your perfection - is within you already. But to claim it, you must leave the busy commotion of the mind and abandon the desires of the ego and enter into the silence of the heart. The kundalini shakti - the supreme energy of the divine - will take you there.
Elizabeth Gilbert
People use the words "beginning" and "end" to describe the start and end of things. However, "beginning" is really the event of coming together when energy gathers, and "end" is simply the dissolution of that energy. That which came together can easily dissolve if conditions become unfavorable. That which has dissolved may come together again if circumstances are appropriate. Therefore, who is to say that there is a beginning and an end?
Liezi
But I am tired of everyone being gone, and I am tired of everything that has tired me out for the last five years of my life.
Daisy Whitney
But I don't feel like dealing because dealing requires too much energy, and energy is what I lack.
Daisy Whitney
What actually happens when you die is that your brain stops working and your body rots, like Rabbit did when he died and we buried him in the earth at the bottom of the garden. And all his molecules were broken down into other molecules and they went into the earth and were eaten by worms and went into the plants and if we go dig in the same place in 10 years there will be nothing except his skeleton left. And in 1,000 years even his skeleton will be gone. But that is all right because he is part of the flowers and the apple tree and the hawthorn bush now.When people die they are sometimes put into coffins which means that they don't mix with the earth for a very long time until the wood of the coffin rots.But Mother was cremated. This means that she was put into a coffin and burnt and ground up and turned into ash and smoke. I do not know what happens to the ash and I couldn't ask at the crematorium because I didn't go to the funeral. But the smoke goes out of the chimney and into the air and sometimes I look up into the sky and I think that there are molecules of Mother up there, or in clouds over Africa or the Antartic, or coming down as rain in rainforests in Brazil, or in snow somewhere.
Mark Haddon
If you keep fighting with yourself, you will have less energy to fight with life!
Mehmet Murat ildan
Any person or thing that corners you, puts you on the spot, increases your breathing unnecessarily and sucks up your energy may only just be a front- something to rob you of your energy and resources. Acknowledge it, slow down, then work-it-up, work-it-out, or walk-away. Life has a way of teaching us to earn respect from a position of self-respect
Asuni LadyZeal
I tried to hold fire once...see from a distance it mesmerized me captivated me for hours at a timeThe more it danced with the wind, I felt my body sway to its rhythm I tried to hold fire onceIt's glow drew me in closerAnd although I know full well the damage that fire can do...Staring directly at it, I know it's beauty tooIt's warmth was now on my face and I couldn't imagine being in any other placeI reached out with my bare hands & it danced even moreAnd suddenly I felt it's heat deep within my coreRising like a volcano ready to eruptBut somehow balanced & purposefulI tried to hold fire once until I realized that fire held me Passionately and I was it's guiding force. If you look close enough, you'll see it dancing in my eyes, feel it in my touch, even hear it in my voice...but don't ever forget that fire consumes and cannot be contained so I must master my energetic output to control the flames.
Sanjo Jendayi
Love is the immortal flow of energy that nourishes, extends and preserves. Its eternal goal is life.
Smiley Blanton
Complaining is a complete waste of one's energy. Those who complain the most accomplish the least.
Robert Tew
The pure power of a life can manifest as beatitude, or as an unspeakable, sheer violence...
Jane Bennett
When you get some free time, write. When you get some lazy time, plan. When you get down time, world build. When your time comes, shine!
Ace Antonio Hall
When I used to teach creative writing, I would tell the students to make their characters want something right away - even if it's only a glass of water. Characters paralyzed by the meaninglessness of modern life still have to drink water from time to time.
Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
I'm starting to believe that happily ever after includes people doing things that upset each other. We all get cranky, or impatient, or worried, or careless enough to do or say things that hurt someone else. Like it or not, that's normal. We can't blame it all on Olympia's bad energy. The important part is that we feel sorry about what we've done and make up for it. That's something Olympia never did.
Jean Ferris
And what has been so awful in your life that you have to write about it?” Mrs Lincoln, a definite gall bladder, persevered.
Larry Kramer
For a poet, it will be terrible if there are no women. He will not have anything to write about.
Debasish Mridha
Don't criticize me because of what I write, because for all you know, I could be right!
Anthony T.Hincks
A gifted man does not waste his life on women.
M.F. Moonzajer
It is not that we have a short space of time, but that we waste much of it. Life is long enough, and it has been given in sufficiently generous measure to allow the accomplishment of the very greatest things if the whole of it is well invested. But when it is squandered in luxury and carelessness, when it is devoted to no good end, forced at last by the ultimate necessity we perceive that it has passed away before we were aware that it was passing.
Seneca
People waste life by wasting time.
Sunday Adelaja
Life can be a waste by jesting and joking away their time.
Sunday Adelaja

Elizabeth George
We waste this life dreaming of another.
Marty Rubin
Time is life. It is irreversible and irreplaceable. To waste your time is to waste your life, but to master your time is to master your life and make the most of it.
Alan Lakein
Do you love life? Then don’t waste time
Sunday Adelaja
Full many a gem of purest ray sereneThe dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear:Full many a flower is born to blush unseen,And waste its sweetness on the desert air.
Thomas Gray
If only I could tell someone.The humiliation I go throughwhen I think of my pastcan only be described as grace.We are created by being destroyed.
Franz Wright
When our internal reference point is the ego or self-image, we feel cut off from our source, and the uncertainty of events creates fear and doubt.
Deepak Chopra
What is the best thing about people doubting your potential? The pleasure of proving them wrong.
Ameya Agrawal
A valid answer comes when the question is lived.
Elizabeth Vongsaravanh
And there was something else, it seemed, now permanently part of her life. Doubt, and suspicion too, filled all that there was room for in her waking thoughts.
Jane Gaskell
Life wasn't about doubt, because if it was, we'd never get anything done.
Aishabella Sheikh
The question that is upon my lips (please forgive me) is the doubt in your heart
Jeremy Aldana
When people feel doubt in their hearts, a certainty might be felt in an ice cream.
Toba Beta
Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.
Amelia Earhart
Why is it, I wonder, that people suffer, when there is so little need, when an effort of will and some hard work would bring them from their misery into peace and contentment.
Richard Llewellyn
Engaging in activities devoid of difficulty, lounging in risk-free zones, is life without great meaning.
Jon M. Huntsman Sr.
Your life oppositions will position or disposition you in the best or worst way depending how you position or disposition your oppositions.
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Boy! There are times when I get the feeling that science develops things that are supposed to be good for us, but that just make trouble.”Dr. Tresselt’s blue eyes seemed to throw out sparks of amusement. “I know how you feel, Joe,” he said. “But my stars, boy, nobody can be alive and never have any trouble! Being alive is just meeting troubles every day and overcoming them. Just to stand up straight against the pull of gravity is a fight, isn’t it?
Jay Williams
It is when I struggle that I strengthen. It is when challenged to my core that I learn the depth of who I am.
Steve Maraboli
You're better than the life you've settled for. RISE to the challenge of your dreams! Don't just dream it - LIVE it!
Steve Maraboli
There exist words of mediocrity, songs of mediocrity, and life lessons of mediocrity. Advice of mediocrity, books of mediocrity and companions of mediocrity are also available.One may also meet songs of purpose that can make us ponder to wonder and advice filled with authority to dare in life. We may also hear life lessons that can challenge and change us. What do you listen to? If what you listen to will not make you, it will mar you.
Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Rise flexibly, courageously and perseveringly upon the challenges and trials in our life. Beneath the depth of fresh wounds, heavy cross and years of scars, is our wise silent mind, a beating faithful heart with understanding and patience matched with a humble soul who walks with hope towards charity, kindness, peace and harmony.
Angelica Hopes
There's always next level, new decisions, and new episode. My life inspired by challenges
Desmond Oshifeso
The is no master in love, WE are all learners.
Rudzani Ralph
One of the ironies of college is that the impossibility of reading your way out of the modern predicament is something you learn about, as a student, by reading. Part of the value of a humanistic education has to do with a consciousness of, and a familiarity with, the limits that you’ll spend the rest of your life talking about and pushing against.
Joshua Rothman
Life is never against you because you are the one who is creating it.
Akemi G
I wondered if hurdlers ever thought, you know, "This would go faster if we just got rid of the hurdles.
John Green
It was something I learned then. That you could take the crumpled remains of something destroyed and smooth them into newness. You could pretend certain things weren't happening even if you had seen or felt them. Everything done can be denied.
Nayomi Munaweera
Challenges come our way when we least expect them; our insecurities, desires, balance, & conscience are tested in the process.
