  John Green

  all of them. You have seen and felt much in life so far. But still,
  the best is yet to come.

  Melody Beattie

• Admit something.
  
  Everyone you see, you say to them
  "Love me."

  That is always saying,
  
  With that sweet moon
  Language
  
  What every other eye in this world
  Is dying to
  Hear?

  Hafez
