Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.

― Salvador Dali.

“The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.”

― Henry David Thoreau, Walden.

“Life is a funny thing. We only get so many years to live it, so we have to do everything we can to make sure those years are as full as they can be. We shouldn't waste time on things that might happen someday, or maybe even never.”

― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us.

Good Morning

“It is not time or opportunity that is to determine intimacy;—it is disposition alone. Seven years would be insufficient to make some people acquainted with each other, and seven days are more than enough for others.”

― Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.

“She wanted none of those days to end, and it was always with disappointment that she watched the darkness stride forward. ”

― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief

buona serata

Don’t worry if people think you’re crazy. You are crazy. You have that kind of intoxicating insanity that lets other people dream outside of the lines and become who they’re destined to be.”

― Jennifer Elisabeth, Born Ready: Unleash Your Inner Dream Girl

Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get.

Odysseus inclines his head. "True. But fame is a strange thing. Some men gain glory after they die, while others fade. What is admired in one generation is abhorred in another." He spread his broad hands. "We cannot say who will survive the holocaust of memory. Who knows?" He smiles. "Perhaps one day even I will be famous. Perhaps more famous than you.”

― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles

buon pomeriggio

 Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.

“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit

Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,

Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”

― Omar Khayyám

Buongiorno

“It starts so young, and I'm angry about that. The garbage we're taught. About love, about what's "romantic." Look at so many of the so-called romantic figures in books and movies. Do we ever stop and think how many of them would cause serious and drastic unhappiness after The End? Why are sick and dangerous personality types so often shown a passionate and tragic and something to be longed for when those are the very ones you should run for your life from? Think about it. Heathcliff. Romeo. Don Juan. Jay Gatsby. Rochester. Mr. Darcy. From the rigid control freak in The Sound of Music to all the bad boys some woman goes running to the airport to catch in the last minute of every romantic comedy. She should let him leave. Your time is so valuable, and look at these guys--depressive and moody and violent and immature and self-centered. And what about the big daddy of them all, Prince Charming? What was his secret life? We dont know anything about him, other then he looks good and comes to the rescue.”

― Deb Caletti, The Secret Life of Prince Charming

So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. 

Best buongiorno

And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! Kid, you'll move mountains.

buona notte

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare to be the best you can –

Best buona notte

At all times, Dare to be!

“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”

― John Lubbock, The Use Of Life

buon compleanno

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

Best buon compleanno

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

“The time will come when diligent research over long periods will bring to light things which now lie hidden. A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject... And so this knowledge will be unfolded only through long successive ages. There will come a time when our descendants will be amazed that we did not know things that are so plain to them... Many discoveries are reserved for ages still to come, when memory of us will have been effaced.”

― Seneca, Natural Questions
