Allowing Quote by Lily Collins
“Everything happens for a reason and, of course at times it's very discouraging, but at the end of the day you can't take it personally and move onward because if you let it sit with you, then it starts to eat away at you and you're allowing someone else to steal your excitement. No one wants that.”

![“I did a film recently in the Republic of Georgia [upcoming 'Halo of Stars'] which was based on a long poem written by the director. We found that all these words were beautiful as a poem, but for humans it was more about the emotion or a look than just saying what was there.” quote by Lily Collins](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e67/lily-collins-1760_beautiful_i-did-a-film-recently-in-the-republic-of_119700.jpg)
