“There’s a term in music, crescendo, which means gradually louder. If you think about that meaning the other way, it means you’re at the smallest point. So you can get bigger and bigger with time. The smallest moment in your life, in other words, is the moment when your crescendo begins” - Do You Like Brahms?

Person: then study

“I’ve found that growing up means being honest. About what I want. What I need. What I feel. Who I am.”

“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.”

we are not born to die!! what are you talking about!! do you think a book begins just to finish? do you think a song opens with a beautiful chord just for it to end? you don’t read the book to finish it, you read the book to eat up the excitement and the emotions it evokes!! to learn and to digest and to fall in love and be heartbroken!! you listen to the song to dance and dance and sing your throat raw!!! to cry and smile and swell with the harmonies!! yes, we are born with the inevitable fate of death, we are mortal after all, but that is merely the finale of the play!! the final act, the closing of the curtains - we are not born to take a bow and exit stage left!! we are born to love and be joyous and yell and move and learn and cry and feelfeelfeel!!! we are not born to die, silly, we’re born to live!!!

“Some fish can walk out of water, so remember that next time.”
“You might think you’re safe, but horses are omnivores”
