The best Quotes by Tyler Down

They get in your head. People tell lies about you, and other people believe them. And it gets to the point where the lies might as well be the truth.

I think sometimes we aren't keeping secrets to hide from other people. I think sometimes we're keeping them to protect those people.

The truth can free you, if you let it.

I guess we all have things we try to hide. But they can't stay hidden forever.

I like her. She makes you try new things, it's good for you. I'm serious - you seem less afraid when you're with her. I like it and it also makes me kind of sad.

We all have things we keep hidden. Sometimes, keeping secrets is how you survive. Because in High School, one rumor, one picture, one incident, can define you forever.

Pictures can be twisted and used against you and haunt you forever.

Clay: "I love you."
Hannah: "Why didn't you say this to me when I was alive?"

The truth isn't always to most exciting version of things, or the best, or the worst. It's somewhere inbetween. But it deserves to be heard and remembered. 'The truth will out', like someone said once. It remains.

I've heard so many stories about me now that I don't know which one is the most popular. But I do know which is the least popular: the truth.

Clay: "I cost a girl her life because I was afraid to love her."
Mr. Porter: "You can't love someone back to life."
Clay: "You can try."

Not all lies are bad, just as the truth is not always good.

Lies are comforting. Truth is painful.

The bigger the lie, the more people believe in it.

Is a lie really a lie if it is honestly believed?

Give them the right lie and they'll believe it.

Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect -and I don't live to be- but before you start pointing fingers... make sure your hands are clean!

What other people think of you is none of your business.

Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.

Haters will say what they want but their hate will never stop you from chasing your dream!

The only thing worse than being talked about, is not being talked about.

Rose always used to tell me that keeping quiet when someone's hurt you isn't kind, it's stupid. I might be useless, and I might be slow... but I'm not stupid!

Bullying happens because weak people need to prop up their ego by beating up or humiliating others.

Charlie: "You didn't have to do that. I'm used to people saying stuff about me."
Nick: "No. But you shouldn't have to be. People shouldn't be saying stuff about you in the first place. You shouldn't have to put up with anything like that."

Goldie Wilson: "Stand tall, boy! Have some respect for yourself. Don't you know if you let people walk over you now, they'll walk over you for the rest of your life."

I don't believe in revenge. When people are bullies, it's because of a deeper-rooted issue. Either their family life is tough or they're being bullied by someone bigger than they are.

Some of you cared. None of you cared enough.

Pardon me, but you really hurt my feelings.

I am scared, 'cause I don't know how to fly. But you're there at the bottom of the slide to catch me when I fall.

Soul Alone

I meet your eyes
you don't even see me
You hardly respond
when I whisper
hello
Could be my soul mate
two kindred spirits
Maybe we're not
I guess we'll never
know

My own mother
you carried me in you
Now you see nothing
but what I wear
People ask you
how I'm doing
You smile and nod
don't let it end
there

Put me
underneath God's sky and
know me
don't just see me with your eyes
Take away
this mask of flesh and bone and
See me
for my soul
alone

If my love were an ocean,
there would be no more land.
If my love were a desert,
you would see only sand.
If my love were a star-
late at night, only light.
And if my love could grow wings,
I'd be soaring in flight.

When you lose everything, that's when you're finally free.

We're not defined by what we los. We're defined by what we survive.
