“Be believing, be happy, don t get discouraged. Things will work out.”
“Dance. Smile. Giggle. Marvel. TRUST. HOPE. LOVE. WISH. BELIEVE. Most of all, enjoy every moment of the journey, and appreciate where you are at this moment instead of always focusing on how far you have to go.”
“Because, explained Mary Rommely simply, the child must have a valuable thing which is called imagination. The child must have a secret world in which live things that never were. It is necessary that she believe. She must start out by believing in things not of this world. Then when the world becomes too ugly for living in, the child can reach back and live in her imagination. I, myself, even in this day and at my age, have great need of recalling the miraculous lives of the Saints and the great miracles that have come to pass on earth. Only by having these things in my mind can I live beyond what I have to live for.”
“You may be the only person left who believes in you, but it s enough. It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness. Never give up.”
“Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone. Who had nothing, who wanted everything.”
“As long as you have life and breath, believe. Believe for those who cannot. Believe even if you have stopped believing. Believe for the sake of the dead, for love, to keep your heart beating, believe. Never give up, never despair, let no mystery confound you into the conclusion that mystery cannot be yours.”
“Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.”

“There s that horrible-beautiful moment, that bitter-sweet impasse where you know that somebody is bullshitting you but they re doing it with such panache and conviction...no, it s because they say exactly what you want to hear, at that point in time.”
“We all want to believe in impossible things, I suppose, to persuade ourselves that miracles can happen.”
“أؤمن بالله حتى لو ألحد العالم و ضواحيه.. حتى لو رفض العلم و العقل و الرياضة و حساب المثلثات.. حتى لو كان كل شيء مسبب و له مصدر و له نهاية.. حتى لو تفشى الظلم حتى لو لم يصبح أي شيء عادل.. حتى لو إختفى الكمال و إختفى الجمال.. حتى لو لم نجد في عقلنا الأسباب و المسببات.”
“It does not count if you believe in yourself when it’s easy to believe in yourself. It does not count if you believe the world can be a better place when the future looks bright. It does not count if you think you’re going to make it when the finish line is right in front of you. It counts when it’s hard to believe in yourself, when it looks like the world’s going to end and you’ve still got a long way to go. That’s when it counts. That’s when it matters the most.”
“As for believing things, I can believe anything, provided that it is quite incredible.”

“Hearts will break and people will hurt you, darling.” Her mother said. “But when you let those people control your outlook on the life, you only allow them to have a greater hold on your happiness. Once you accept the fact that every day is a new day to begin again, life becomes a much easier path to walk.”
“I don t believe in pessimism. If something doesn t come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it s going to rain, it will.”
“This was when she asked him whether it was true that love conquered all, as the songs said. It is true , he replied, but you would do well not to believe it.”
