Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

“Amazing how life turns out the way that it does. We end up hurting the worst, the only ones we really love.”

The drunk kids, the catholics they’re all about the same. They are waiting for something, hoping to be saved.

BUT LET THERE BE SPACES IN YOUR TOGETHERNESS AND LET THE WINDS OF THE HEAVENS DANCE BETWEEN YOU. LOVE ONE ANOTHER BUT MAKE NOT A BOND OF LOVE: LET IT RATHER BE A MOVING SEA BETWEEN THE SHORES OF YOUR SOULS. - KAHLIL GIBRAN

If you don’t claim your humanity you will become a statistic.

-Fight Club

LIFE WILL BREAK YOU.NOBODY CAN PROTECT YOU FROM THAT, AND LIVING ALONE WON’T EITHER. FOR SOLITUDE WILL ALSO BREAK YOU WITH ITS YEARNING. YOU HAVE TO LOVE.YOU HAVE TO FEEL. IT IS THE REASON YOU ARE HERE ON EARTH. YOU ARE HERE TO RISK YOUR HEART. YOU ARE HERE TO BE SWALLOWED UP. AND WHEN IT HAPPENS THAT YOU ARE BROKEN, OR BETRAYED, OR LEFT, OR HURT, OR DEATH BRUSHES NEAR, LET YOURSELF SIT BY AN APPLE TREE AND LISTEN TO THE APPLES FALLING ALL AROUND YOU IN HEAPS, WASTING THEIR SWEETNESS. TELL YOURSELF YOU TASTED AS MANY AS YOU COULD.

~ Louise Erdrich (The Painted Drum)

"I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never laid beside at all."

-What Sarah Said - Death Cab For A Cutie

"You could not help yourself from crying the entire night.

It’s painful when you realize your lives are intertwined.

It’s hell to need someone.

Most men will not swim before they are able to." isn't it witty? naturally, they wont swim! they are born for the solid earth, not for the water. and naturally they wont think. they are made for life, not for thought. yes, and he who thinks, whats more, he who makes thought his business, he may go far in it, but he has bartered the solid earth for the water all the same, and one day he will drown.' -Hesse Hermann
