From Chris Colfer

So young and so wise and world weary already. Still, I wish I'd had a friend like him when I was young, so long ago that even repeating all this things to myself now, they don't even dent the skin.

When people hurt you over and over, think of them like sand paper. They may scratch and hurt you a bit, but in the end, you end up polished and they end up useless.

I've tried being other people and myself suits me the best.

Don't listen to what people tell you because they'll try to bring you down. And don't listen to yourself, either, because yourself will try to bring you down even more so than anyone else. As long as you just put all your energy into one thing, it can happen.

There's nothing wrong with you. There's a lot wrong with the world you live in. And definitely get out of high school and make everyone sorry.

I hope to write someday and that's even more terrifying than performing. You don't just entertain the audience, you give them little bits of your soul.

It doesn't matter how greatly you've been hurt or how much you're hurting, it's what you do with the pain that counts.

The world will always choose convenience over reality. It's easier to hate, blame, and fear than it is to understand. No one wants the truth; they want entertainment.

No matter what you do, you can never please everyone. And that was the hardest lesson to learn. In fact, I'm still learning it.

You're not weak. Your life is not defined by a letter grade, a dress size, your sexuality or anything else. You have every chance at happiness. You were not meant to suffer. You are loved. Never, ever give up.

Someday I'll try to find where these quotes come from, and date them (meaning, make them into proper quotes - what's wrong with people, no one teaches literary netiquette any more?). For now, I copied them all from SearchQuotes.com (after reading the first one somewhere else, and I'm one to talk about sources!).

Also, all these quotes are amazing, but I'll repeat the last one over:

You're not weak. Your life is not defined by a letter grade, a dress size, your sexuality or anything else. You have every chance at happiness. You were not meant to suffer. You are loved. Never, ever give up.
