All grown-ups were once children… but only few of them remember it.

If the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.

Can you believe our luck? Of all the trees we could’ve hit, we had to get one that hits back.

“Blue as the evening sky, blue as cranesbill flowers, blue as the lips of drowned men and the heart of a blaze burning with too hot a flame. Yes, sometimes it was hot in this world, too. Hot and cold, light and dark, terrible and beautiful, it was everything all at once. It wasn’t true that you felt nothing in the land of Death. You felt and heard and smelled and saw, but your heart remained strangely calm, as if it were resting before the dance began again.
Peace. Was that the word?”

Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.

I felt so helpless, I couldn’t even bring myself to believe someone might save me. And then [my brother] showed up, and I realized that if we don’t take care of each other then no one else will… And we’ll just have to hope our powers are good enough to help us rise above our own limits. Because we’re not Gods, we’re humans, tiny insignificant humans.

A lesson without pain is meaningless, for you cannot gain something without sacrificing something else in return. But once you’ve overcome it and made it you own, you will gain an irreplaceable fullmetal heart.

"At times the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place. But believe us when we say there is much more good in it than bad. And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events, may in fact, be the first steps of a journey." ~A Series of Unfortunate Events (Movie, based on the book by Lemony Snicket)I am J.
