Quotes by Marilyn Grey

Always go after the girl. No matter what she says. Chase her.

I’m not forcing you to do anything. You need to make your own damn decisions . And Im not playing this game where we ignore reality and pretend to have a normal conversation for a few hours. You need to face reality and stop turning life into a movie. Im not a puppet in your show. This is real life and youre always trying to ignore it for some cheap fantasy version where no problems exist. Thats not noble of you, okay? Youre not strong. Youre a weak person like the rest of us. Youve just learned to excel at avoiding issues. But there are issues . Life has so many freaking issues and if you cant force your own self to face life and make decisions without someone telling you what the hell to do, youre just going to end up another chess piece moved around by others.

To experience love, we have to open it. Carefully. And cherish every gift were given.

door I thought about life and how it resembled a ladder. Do you ever feel that way? Like life is one big uphill climb and there are always more people and circumstances tripping us and trying to pull us back down the ladder, while very, very few people ever stop to give us a hand up. “Fend for yourselves ,” seems more like the motto of the world. Survival of the fittest doesn’t exactly leave room for encouragement.

Life isnt always about fireworks. Your fireworks will come, Sarah. And theyll fizzle out just as fast. Lifes an experience, not a destination. All of us have the same destination, but not one of us has an identical experience. Youll find someone who will be there when the fireworks fizzle out and the sky turns black and love you just the same. That’s the one to hold onto.
