Quotes About Being The Bigger Person Novels & Stories

“You are the only person who has ever really listened without making it weird,” Zack admits, his voice dropping to a lower register. “Everyone else either starts crying or tries to give me inspirational quotes or something.” The wind rustles through a nearby oak branches overhead while they sit in comfortable silence for a moment. “Inspirational quotes,” she echoed. “That is a new one. What like ‘hang in there’ cat posters? Weird.”

I can do this. Yes they are big but it doesn’t matter. The bigger they are the harder they fall right? All I need is a quick plan and that is it.

Kill them with kindness. That’s what my mom always told me- if someone badmouths you, prove them wrong by being kind. Even when it’s hard to do. Especially when it’s hard to do. It’s difficult to keep talking trash about someone who has been nothing but nice in return, and if they do, it says more about their character than your own. I fight my way through the crowd again, and when I return to the large U-shaped sectional at the far side of the living room, I pause for a moment in hesitation.

I don't know why I was being nice to her when she just told me I basically ruined her life with my existence; but it's called 'being the bigger person'. "You don't know that" She mumbled with an eye roll. "But I do because I know what it feels like."I sighed, feeling the slightest bit of pity for her. "Look Asia, I'm not gloating but it's just the plain truth that Niall can never be yours as long as I'm here. So instead of villainizing me, why don't you look in the mirror and be the woman everybody knows you can be. You're a great Beta. Niall said it, Jared said it, and it's true. But a good Beta only goes as far as his or her heart leads them. And yours that is filled with hate will never l

she exclaims. "All I'm saying is Pierson is a great guy. We have all done things in our life that we could have handled differently, but what's done is done. 'Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great' ok?" Her words hit me like a ton of bricks. She's right once again. Why don't I go after Pierson? Because you are afraid, my dumb conscious reminds me. But I can't let that get in the way of being happy.

How many more times will I be stupid just because of the guy? How many more times will I be miserable and pitiful? This was probably the stage of my life, and I became stupid. I force myself to get in her car. I was quiet inside when she drives the car. “I know it’s bad to advise you because I did it. But it might help you. Don’t trust anyone around you. Even Ezekiel, me, co-workers, or any of your friends. Never think to be kind to anyone. Make a sample of what I did to you. I know it’s wrong, but I just hope we can do it right. When the person is kind to you, don’t just bite. Be always attentive. Be critical and don’t let anyone put your guard down. Also, don’t allow anyone to oppress or t

I admit out loud for the first time, frowning and looking down at the table, "I can't stand it when they look down on me, laughing, talking shit about me. They should just respect and admire me, not laugh.” "A great one has fallen. It's only natural that they find it fascinating," he says, making me look back at him, "You're a bigger presence than most people and everyone can see it. That will never change. For better and for worse, whatever you do, people will talk about. But nothing lasts forever, girl, I told you. They'll soon forget. Or they'll stop caring so much." "It doesn't seem likely." "To you. Because you're self-centered. But even for a big presence, the world doesn't revolve aro

"Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable." I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his Mom and Dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize it's depth. Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person's life. For better or for worse. Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel. All claimed that they were the best. The most important.The most useful.The favorite.

“We’re taking it a day at a time.” “That’s the best way to do things,” Brown proclaimed. “Epicurus said, ‘Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not.’” Sarah grinned. Brown had an incredible brain for memorization, and always had a few words of wisdom from a philosopher at the ready. “I’ve missed your quotes.”

In a more careful tone, he added, “You do not want attention for yourself, but you can’t resist someone who genuinely demands for yours, because it doesn’t give you a choice to think about what you want.” “So, you’re saying I’m a pushover?” He shook his head. “I’m saying you’re a good person. Too good, you’re bordering on heroic sometimes.” He gave me a long look and added, “It doesn’t hurt to think about yourself once in a while, you know. Trust in somebody else. Let somebody take care of you for a change.” I had no idea the guy is a fucking shrink. I took a gulp of my beer and said, “I can take care of myself, thank you very much.”
