"I've just tried to grow up in..." - Quote by Taylor Swift

“You realize who you're in love with is fading fast. You don't know what to do, but in that period time moves so slowly.”

“I don't know if I could do this with the same energy, and in the same way - all the costume changes and glitter and hair and makeup - all the time. When I'm in my 50s, I kind of think I'll want to be in a garden.”

“When I get on a roll with something, it's really hard for me to put it down unfinished.”

“Adversity is an opportunity for self-discovery.”

“The breakage and agony rending us today will be our salvation if they drive us by new routes to meet it. No one can proxy for us a masterpiece of loving or experience for us the rapture of art or launch for us book ships freighted with sweet bread to strengthen man. As of old we must be our own seers, musicians and explorers, and to an extent vaster than ever before.”

“I don't ever want to be caught up in a system of thinking I can do one thing 'cos that's just... that's just telling yourself a lie.”

“Every living organism is fulfilled when it follows the right path for its own nature.”

“You see I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across, not just to depict life, or criticize it, but to actually make it alive.”

“It is worth the while to live respectably unto ourselves. We can possibly get along with a neighbor, even with a bedfellow, whom we respect but very little; but as soon as it comes to this, that we do not respect ourselves, then we do not get along at all, no matter how much money we are paid for halting.”
