In case you can't read it due to the size:
You are beautiful no matter what they say.
Words can't bring you down, no, no.
You are beautiful in every single way.
Words can't bring you down.
So don't you bring me down.

To write is to forget. Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life. Music sooths, the visual arts exhilarates, the performing arts (such as acting and dance) entertain. Literature, however retreats from life by turning in into slumber. The other arts make no such retreat- some because they use visible and hence vital formulas, others because they live from human life itself. This isn't the case with literature. Literature simulates life. A novel is a story of what never was, a play is a novel without narration. A poem is the expression of ideas or feelings a language no one uses, because no one talks in verse- Fernando Pessoa.

I've been reading The Librarian of Auschwitz which is probably one of the hardest book I've ever read but one quote really stood out to me:
"The most beautiful flowers emerge from the foulest dung heap"
If you're having a tough time and things aren't going to plan, just remember this, you will become stronger and you will become the beautiful flower

It's not really a quote but it's something I try to remind myself of

That quote isn't a real one. My mum made it up for me after we finished watching Aladdin yesterday. I have the part of the Sultan in the play I am in on Friday.
