“Human beings’ hearts change, that’s their specialty. Forever? There’s no such thing. Love, then hate. Hot, then cold. Upset, then grateful. Full of resentment, then understanding. And it goes on.”
— Scheduler from 49 Days (via f-alling)
“Perhaps they were right in putting love into books… Perhaps it could not live anywhere else.”
— William Faulkner | Light in August (via psychotits)
“The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it’s only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think, the way they see themselves, the way they see the world, you can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create.”
— Chuck Palahniuk (via saddest-summer)
“No matter how much I feel, I’m not going to let it out. If I have to cry, I’m gonna cry on the inside. If I have to bleed, I’ll bruise. If my heart starts going crazy, I’m not gonna tell everyone in the world about it. It doesn’t help anything. It just makes everyone’s life worse.”
— Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
“I’m almost never serious, and I’m always too serious. Too deep, too shallow. Too sensitive, too cold hearted. I’m like a collection of paradoxes.”
—Ferdinand von Schrubentauffrt (via eloquentlyyours)
“They spoil every romance by trying to make it last forever.”
—Oscar Wilde (via easythereangrybear)
- people: are you mad/sad or something?
- me: this is just my face
“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take it’s place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.”
—Lance Armstrong (via quote-book)
“I don’t think sad and painful things are pointless. If that’s fate, then they must happen for a reason. I will accept it and become stronger.”
—輪るピングドラム (Mawaru Penguindrum)
