“I find it so much easier to be creatively free at night. Daytime is for sleeping. Nighttime is the best time for making art. The later at night it gets the further into another world you go.”

“A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So he loses touch with reality, and lives in a world of illusion.”
—Alan Watts (via rabbitinthemoon)
“That initial anger she had felt turned to sadness, and now it had become something else, almost a dullness of sorts. Even though she was constantly in motion, it seemed as if nothing special ever happened to her anymore. Each day seemed exactly like the last, and she had trouble differentiating among them.”
— Nicholas Sparks, Message in a Bottle
“She’s raising wordless screams and bleeding invisible blood. She’s carrying around so many problems all by herself she can’t make any headway, and she’s searching for help. She expresses those feelings by hurting herself. This is not just an impression: it’s clearer than that.”
—After Dark by Haruki Murakami (via psychoking)
“Life doesnt give you the people you want.
It gives you the people you need.
To help you. To hurt you. To love you. To leave you.
And to make you into the person you were ment to be.” —Beautiful Mind Struggle® (via -warmtea)

“It is not the brains that matter most, but that which guides them — the character, the heart, generous qualities, progressive ideas.”
—Fyodor Dostoyevsky (via larmoyante)
“While I can’t have you, I long for you. I am the kind of person who would miss a train or a plane to meet you for coffee. I’d take a taxi across town to see you for ten minutes. I’d wait outside all night if I thought you would open the door in the morning. If you call me and say ‘Will you…’ my answer is ‘Yes’, before your sentence is out. I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you.”
—Jeanette Winterson (via fleurishes)
writing about your feelings and then putting ‘idk’ at the end so you don’t sound like a faggot
“Socializing is as exhausting as giving blood. People assume we loners are misanthropes, just sitting thinking, ‘Oh, people are such a bunch of assholes,’ but it’s really not like that. We just have a smaller tolerance for what it takes to be with others. It means having to perform. I get so tired of communicating.”
— Anneli Rufus (via sordinos)
“Sometimes, I feel the past and the future pressing so hard on either side that there’s no room for the present at all.”
—Evelyn Waugh (via durianquotes)
“I am only responsible for my own heart. You offered yours up for the smashing, my darling. Only a fool would give out such a vital organ.”
—Anaïs Nin (via killheji)
“Somehow she knew that you didn’t get many moments like this in your life: moments when you knew, without any doubt, that you were alive, when you felt the air in your lungs and the wet grass beneath your feet and the cotton on your skin; moments when you were completely in the present, when neither the past nor the future mattered.”
— Neil Gaiman, Wall (via neilgaiman, colporteur, suzywire) (via loveseat)
