"I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you."
— John Green, The Fault in Our Stars (via hazor)

"What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic."
— Carl Sagan  (via deejul)

"To hell with them. Nothing hurts if you don’t let it."

"You try to find that special person
Someone you can be with
Someone you can touch
Someone you can talk to
Someone you don’t feel so strange around
And you find that they don’t really exist
You feel closer to people on movie screens"
— Henry Rollins (via capricandy)

"There’s a loneliness that only exists in one’s mind. The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly."

topographe: visaisahero: sunday mornings can be beautiful, but it’s beautiful like a fresh soft flower or a laughing child in play, not the shaking grizzled hands of a matriarch or the weathered bark of a great, ancient tree if hours were cigarettes, sunday morning is the one you have when you’ve just woke up, stiff muscles, eyes crusted and mouth dry, lazy smiles at the thought of dalliances and amusement to comeand tuesday 2am is when you tarry in the midst of ceaseless labour, the anxious smoke you steal in the break you’re not supposed to have, when time permits you neither to sit down nor to wipe the sweat from your browand you look at the stars and you shudder in the cold and you look at your hands and you look at your brothers and you don’t even know what to think but dear god in this moment you are alivealive dear god

if hours were cigarettes, sunday morning is the one you have when you’ve just woke up, stiff muscles, eyes crusted and mouth dry, lazy smiles at the thought of dalliances and amusement to come

and tuesday 2am is when you tarry in the midst of ceaseless labour, the anxious smoke you steal in the break you’re not supposed to have, when time permits you neither to sit down nor to wipe the sweat from your brow

and you look at the stars and you shudder in the cold and you look at your hands and you look at your brothers and you don’t even know what to think but dear god in this moment you are alive

alive
