Sleep is my lover now, my forgetting, my opiate, my oblivion. – Clare Abshire

Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.
John Green (Looking For Alaska)
So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.
Stephen Chbosky (via kari-shma)
I love photography — not quite enough to buy a camera and commit myself to it, but just enough to borrow someone else’s for a few moments and try to show the world what I think is beautiful.
Somewhere Over The Sun (Adi Alsaid)
With machines the feeling is, well, more finite. It doesn’t go any further. With humans it’s different. The feeling is always changing. Like if you love somebody, the love is always shifting or wavering. It’s always questioning or inflating or disappearing or denying or hurting. And the thing is, you can’t do anything about it, you can’t control it.

Atticus told me to delete the adjectives and I’d have the facts.
To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee (via fuckyeahliteraryquotes)
If you have come to these pages for laughter, may you find it.
If you are here to be offended, may your ire rise and your blood boil.
If you seek adventure, may this story sing you away to blissful escape.
If you need to test or confirm your beliefs, may you reach comfortable conclusions.
All books reveal perfection, by what they are or what they are not.
May you find that which you seek, in these pages or outside them.
May you find perfection, and know it by name.
Author’s blessing from Lamb by Chris Moore
I’m not really sure which parts of myself are real and which parts are things I’ve gotten from books.

I’m just gonna keep my eyes close. Because this is like that moment in the morning, when you first wake up and you’re still half asleep. Things are possible, dreams feel true and for that one moment between waking and sleeping, anything can be real. And then you open your eyes and the sun hits you and then you realize that..I’m just gonna keep my eyes closed.

I had to learn the hard way that some people walk into our lives and physically walk out, but they never really leave.

That’s always seemed so ridiculous to me, that people want to be around someone because they’re pretty. It’s like picking your breakfast cereals based on color instead of taste.

At every moment of our lives we all have one foot in a fairy tale and the other in the abyss.
Eleven Minutes, Paulo Coelho
I believe we write our own stories. And each time we think we know the end - we don’t. Perhaps luck exists somewhere between the world of planning, the world of chance, and in peace that comes from knowing that you just can’t know it all. You know, life’s funny that way. Once you let go of the wheel, you might end up right where you belong.

Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering.
