Be the change that you wish to see in the world.
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
Grief does not change you, Hazel. It reveals you.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.
Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.
Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.
To say goodbye is to die a little.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
You can't stop the future
You can't rewind the past
The only way to learn the secret
...is to press play.
Jay Asher, Thirteen Reasons Why
Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.
