Quotes from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“I'm proud to be a work in progress.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“Over the past ten years, I've processed a lot. I'm still processing. And there is more to be done. But I'm very proud of the person I am today. I'm proud to be gay. I'm proud to be a reckless optimist. I'm proud to keep learning and sharing what I've learned. I'm proud to be a work in progress.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“Our society is stuck between problem and solution when it comes to treating mental illness. We cannot find a solution until we agree on the problem. And it is my humble opinion that the problem is fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of the misunderstood. Instead, let us seek to pursue knowledge over fear. Let's find a way to save lives that can be saved.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“The path to accepting your sexuality has to start somewhere. For those identify as heterosexual, the childhood bliss of an early crush is typically encouraged and praised. Milestones such as your first date and the prom are celebrated by parents and friends.
But when you’re anything other than straight, it’s more complicated; your growth gets shrouded and stunted. That’s why a lot of queer people, when they fall in love and get into a relationship for the first time, revert to a kind of prepubescent puppy love: spontaneous, impulsive, obsessive, and ecstatic. I’ve heard many people express annoyance at friends who “just came out and it’s totally cool and whatever, but do they have to talk about it all the time?” My answer to that is “Yes. Yes, they do. Don’t you remember puppy love? Well, imagine if you had to hide it for twenty years. So yeah, if they wanna gush about it, let them gush. There’s a first time for everything.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“There is much in this world that hurts us, but if we let pain become our master, we live our lives as slaves.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“Depression is the evangelist for emptiness.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“Dealing with depression isn't about trying to run away from the feeling; it's about learning to walk alongside it.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“I was just flirting with girls whom I had tingly feelings for because... well, you know... friendship.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“There is so much music you’ve yet to hear.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“I will have a deeper and personal relationship with my life. I will not have a casual fling with my life. I will find peace in that. I want to contribute to the world around me. Casual debauchery is not fulfilling. I want to send good messages and good meanings along the way. The journey is about spreading love and understanding. Not using each other. Not distraction. Tools for presence in life. I want to bond with like-minded people who echo my appreciation and awareness for them.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“If you're reading this and you think that maybe you could love someone of the same gender (or nongender), all I have to say to you is this: Congratulations! You're perfect and wonderful and more alive than you ever knew. Be proud of who you are because you're already more than enough.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“With our bodies we make statements before we speak, our presentation is a language spoken without words. You—and only you—get to decide what it is you’re trying to say.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“The Crying Child found a Mountain where others who had suffered had gone to learn to live through letting go. They learned that one must not struggle to change the unchangeable. That the only peace to be found is the peace of acceptance.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“I had everything that I needed, but every morning when I woke up, it just seemed easier to stay in bed and daydream rather than to live my dream.”

“A message for those of you who contemplate permanent solutions to temporary problems. You never know what could be coming in the future. There is so much music you've yet to hear.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“As children, we think that whatever world surrounds us is normal. As I entered fourth and fifth grades and began spending time in the homes of other kids, my world grew. I spent a lot of time watching and thinking about the way people interacted with other people. I began to see that not all families were like mine.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“Some things just take time to process, and one must have healthy boundaries of time and space in place in order to do so. Simply put: BOUNDARIES + PROCESSING = BUFFERING Buffering is that time you spend waiting for the pixels of your life to crystallize into a clearer picture; it’s a time of reflection, a time of pause, a time for regaining your composure or readjusting your course. We all have a limited amount of mental and emotional bandwidth, and some of life’s episodes take a long time to fully load.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“For his sake, I’m glad he disappeared. I don’t blame him. I know it was an act of self-preservation.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“Milton says, “The mind can make a heaven of hell, or a hell of heaven.” I try remind myself daily that success and failure have less to do with actual results but rather how we choose to respond to the results. You can squander success and you can overcome failure. You can flourish or you can flounder. Sometimes it’s about choosing which feelings to fight and which feelings to follow.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“But that's the thing about judgment, if you give your initial opinion of someone too much weight and accept it as fact before really taking the time to really get to know someone, you risk missing out on a lot.”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“The Internet is a place that’s full of judgment because the Internet is full of people. People”
― Hannah Hart, quote from Buffering: Unshared Tales of a Life Fully Loaded

“She filed the image away as an excellent and insulting question to ask the earl at an utterly inappropriate future moment.”

“If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.”
― Napoleon Hill, quote from Think and Grow Rich: The Landmark Bestseller Now Revised and Updated for the 21st Century

“If we value the way we have been trained to think by centuries of absorbing the culture of the printed word, we must not allow the language to return to the chaotic scriptio continua swamp from which it so bravely crawled less than two thousand years ago. We have a language that is full of ambiguities; we have a way of expressing ourselves that is often complex and allusive, poetic and modulated; all our thoughts can be rendered with absolute clarity if we bother to put the right dots and squiggles between the words in the right places. Proper punctuation is both the sign and the cause of clear thinking. If it goes, the degree of intellectual impoverishment we face is unimaginable.”
― Lynne Truss, quote from Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation

“It was not going to be the end of the world. Just the end of the Cullens. The end of Edward, the end of me. I preferred it that way – the last part anyway. I would not live without Edward again; if he was leaving this world, then I would be right behind him.”
― Stephenie Meyer, quote from Breaking Dawn

As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking.
