I quote others only in order to better to express myself. -Michel De Montaigne
Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.

I used to think the worst thing in life was to end up all alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel all alone.
Robin Williams (via saola)
Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.
Hafiz (via cosmofilius)
But I don’t want comfort. I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.
Aldous Huxley, Brave New World (via aphelia)
You’re still going to get criticized, so you might as well do whatever the fuck you want.
Kathleen Hanna (via qoldlush)
Shyness has a strange element of narcissism, a belief that how we look, how we perform, is truly important to other people.
Andre Dubus. (via becauseimthemonster)
People think of education as something they can finish.
Isaac Asimov (via excrutiate)
How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you’ll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter.
Charles Bukowski (via lonur)
Make all your decisions based on how hilarious it would be if you did it.
Aubrey Plaza (via juliepowers)
She’s like smoke: you think you’re seeing her clearly enough, but when you reach for her there’s nothing there.
Ryū Murakami (via slanting)
Books have to be heavy because the whole world’s inside them.
Cornelia Funke, Inkheart (via erraticintrovert)
Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it’s a superficial experience isn’t it?
George R.R. Martin (x)
She was beautiful, but she was beautiful in the way a forest fire was beautiful.
Neil Gaiman (via ponceau)
