If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand
bebedas:
Kiss your life. Accept it, just as it is. Today. Now. So that those moments of happiness you're waiting for don't pass you by
bebedas:
Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience

There has never been a day when I have not been proud of you, I said to my daughter, though some days I'm louder about other stuff so it's easy to miss that
bebedas:
There's something like a line of gold thread running through a man's words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself
bebedas:
this is the moon dark as a bird wing and softer, he said and at that moment I knew only the joy of my child
bebedas:
Why do they treat us like children? they said and I said why do you treat them like adults? and their eyes opened wide and they began to laugh and talk all at once and suddenly everything looked possible again
bebedas:
Sitting there in your pajamas and all the time in the world and if I could keep any moment it would be this: watching you and holding my breath with the wonder of it all.
bebedas:
so tell me the color of your sky up above. paint me a picture of the things that make you smile. show me your fears and what your dreaming of
bebedas:
Are you a princess? I said and she said I'm much more than a princess, but you don't have a name for it yet here on earth.
bebedas:
Come fairies take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame
bebedas:
I sometimes wake in the early morning and listen to the soft breathing of my children and I think to myself, this is one thing I will never regret and I carry that quiet with me all day long.
bebedas:
I will tell the truth unless I get confused and think I could get in real trouble if someone found out, in which case, I will lie as convincingly as possible for as long as I feel the need....
bebedas:
don't underestimate the value of doing nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.
bebedas:
Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process..........
bebedas:
'But I don't want to go among mad people,' said Alice. 'Oh, you can't help that,' said the cat. 'We're all mad here.'
bebedas:
Sometimes when I get up in the morning, I feel very peculiar. I feel like I've just got to bite a cat! I feel like if I don't bite a cat before sundown, I'll go crazy! But then I just take a deep breath and forget about it.......
