There is a primal reassurance in being touched, in knowing that someone else, someone close to you, wants to be touching you. There is a bone-deep security that goes with the brush of a human hand, a silent, reflex-level affirmation that someone is near, that someone cares.

So crystalline. So pure. Such life saving power when you smile. You will never know how you have cauterized my wounds.How it hurts me to know that I will never be able to give u all I have.”

“what if you wake up one morning and you are not angry anymore?”

Show me your hands. Do they have scars from giving?

Behind every beautiful thing, there’s some kind of pain.

“It’s easy to cry when you realize that everyone you love will reject you or die.”

We are flawed creatures, all of us. Some of us think that means we should fix our flaws. But get rid of my flaws and there would be no one left.”

And then there was her face: her white skin, her brown eyes, and her expression, so soft and beautiful; she looked as though she were constantly getting ready to ask a question. Even an immaculately crafted doll could not have been as lovely.

Ever get that feeling that you’ve stumbled upon a secret? Secrets, they keep thingss interesting. Because our secrets are the invisible burden we carry, some are worth keeping. While others, just need to be told. The trick is knowing the difference.”

I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart: I am, I am, I am here.

Pain is a pesky part of being human, I’ve learned it feels like a stab wound to the heart, something I wish we could all do without, in our lives here. Pain is a sudden hurt that can’t be escaped. But then I have also learned that because of pain, I can feel the beauty, tenderness, and freedom of healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then healing feels like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying. We may not have wings growing out of our backs, but healing is the closest thing that will give us that wind against our faces

The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die

“We also maintain – again with perfect truth – that mystery is more than half of beauty, the element of strangeness that stirs the senses through the imagination.” – Richard Le Gallienne

The human soul. It is a lovely and unique thing in the universe. It is always attacked and never destroyed.

Somehow our devils are never quite what we expect when we meet them face to face.”

It’s the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance. It is the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance. It is the one who won’t be taken who cannot seem to give. And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live.

Monkeys are superior to men in this: When a monkey looks into a mirror, he sees a monkey.

“Perhaps the greatest faculty our minds possess is the ability to cope with pain. Classic thinking teaches us of the four doors of the mind, which everyone moves through according to their need. First is the door of sleep. Sleep offers us a retreat from the world and all its pain. Sleep marks passing time, giving us distance from the things that have hurt us. When a person is wounded they will often fall unconscious. Similarly, someone who hears traumatic news will often swoon or faint. This is the mind’s way of protecting itself from pain by stepping through the first door. Second is the door of forgetting. Some wounds are too deep to heal, or too deep to heal quickly. In addition, many memories are simply painful, and there is no healing to be done. The saying ‘time heals all wounds’ is false. Time heals most wounds. The rest are hidden behind this door. Third is the door of madness. There are times when the mind is dealt such a blow it hides itself in insanity. While this may not seem beneficial, it is. There are times when reality is nothing but pain, and to escape that pain the mind must leave reality behind. Last is the door of death. The final resort. Nothing can hurt us after we are dead, or so we have been told.” - Patrick Rothfuss
