“If you only walk on sunny days you’ll never reach your destination.”
“As humans, we waste the shit out of our words. It’s sad. We use words like “awesome” and “wonderful” like they’re candy. It was awesome? Really? It inspired awe? It was wonderful? Are you serious? It was full of wonder? You use the word “amazing” to describe a goddamn sandwich at Wendy’s. What’s going to happen on your wedding day, or when your first child is born? How will you describe it? You already wasted “amazing” on a fucking sandwich.”
Tragic Six Word Story
In the 1920s, Ernest Hemingway’s colleagues bet him that he couldn’t write a complete tragic story in just six words.
“The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.”
“Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don’t.”
“New York will be a great place if they ever finish it.”
“What if you didn’t run? This one time. What if you stayed, and let love overtake you?”
“Travel light, live light, spread the light, be the light.”
“I realize there’s something incredibly honest about trees in winter, how they’re experts at letting things go.”
“There must be something strangely sacred in salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.”
