"We’re so caught up in our everyday lives that events of the past, like ancient stars that have burned out, are no longer in orbit about our minds. There are just too many things we have to think about everyday, too many new things we have to learn. New styles, new information, new technology, new terminology…But still, no matter how much time passes, no matter what takes place in the interim, there are some things we can never assign to oblivion, memories we can never rub away. They remain with us forever, like a touchstone."

"I always thought…if I did the right thing, if I treated people right, then good things would happen to me. You think that’s how it works?"

It’s okay.

It’s okay.

Your quiet disapproval is worse

than any argument we’ve ever had.

We used to bleed our feelings—

now your words are reserved, precious

kept safe for another.

So I am left to collect your fragments

as we slip into complacency

one step from mortality

we cannot traverse.

"Then, one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life… you give them a piece of you. They don’t ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore."

Neil Gaiman, The Sandman (via durianseeds)

"Farmer Hoggett knew that little ideas that tickled and nagged and refused to go away should never be ignored, for in them lie the seeds of destiny."

Babe, 1995 (via alighthouseofwords)

"The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people."
