My Life In Quotes

It was the kind of kiss I could never tell my friends about out loud. It was the kind of kiss that made me know I was never so happy in my whole life.

Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower (via simply-quotes)

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

Confucius (via kari-shma)

Standing against fat-shaming ensures that everyone gets to make private decisions about the state of their body, and that everyone gets to have those decisions respected, whether they decide to lose weight, or to be contentedly fat, or to dye their hair green, or to get lots of piercings or tattoos — other people’s bodies are none of your business, not to touch, to judge, or to publicly comment upon.

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Winston Churchill (via julie911)

(via quote-book)

One makes mistakes, gets led astray, digresses. If one could see one’s crooked progress as a kind of experiment, without wishing for an impossible security – nothing interesting happens without daring – some kind of stillness might be attained. You can, of course, experiment with your own life. Maybe you shouldn’t do it with other people’s.

Hanif Kureishi | Intimacy (via blogut)

(via quote-book)

Am I in love? —yes, since I am waiting. The other one never waits. Sometimes I want to play the part of the one who doesn’t wait; I try to busy myself elsewhere, to arrive late; but I always lose at this game. Whatever I do, I find myself there, with nothing to do, punctual, even ahead of time. The lover’s fatal identity is precisely this: I am the one who waits

Roland Barthes, A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments (via shipodreams)

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.

Fr. Alfred D’Souza (via leslieseuffert)

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Gandhi (via elinli)

And all the while I feel like I’m standing in the middle of a crowded room, screaming at the top of my lungs, and no one even looks up.

Kate Winslet in Titanic (via greekg0ds)

(via greekg0ds)

Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That’s part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads - at least that’s where I imagine it - there’s a little room where we store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the workings of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in awhile, let in fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you’ll live forever in your own private library.

Haruki Murakami (via venebelle)

When a defining moment comes along, you can do one of two things. Define the moment, or let the moment define you.

How much I missed, simply because I was afraid of missing it.

We stood there, looking at each other, saying nothing. But it was the kind of nothing that meant everything.

Jenny Han (It’s Not Summer Without You)

When you compare the sorrows of real life to the pleasures of the imaginary one, you will never want to live again, only to dream forever.

Tears are words the heart can’t express.
