&quot;Hope is the worst of evils, for it prolongs the torments of man.&quot;<br /> &quot;You don&#039;t really understand human nature unless you know why a child on a merry-go-round will wave at his parents every time around -- and why his parents will always wave back.&quot;<br /> Life is a game, play it....Life is too precious, do not destroy it.&quot;<br /> &quot;Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn. My God, do you learn.&quot;

1. Imagination is the best way to say f* you to reality <br /> 2.Life is too short to wake up with regrets.<br /> Love the people who treat you right.<br /> Forget about the ones who don&rsquo;t.<br /> Believe everything happens for a reason.<br /> If you get a second chance, grab it
