When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking about that part of you that can be violated

Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.”

One of the reasons we crave love, and seek it so desperately, is that love is the only cure for loneliness, and shame, and sorrow.

“The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.” – Chuck Palahniuk

“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.”

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body and soul, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of wicked, thoroughly used up, totally worn out inside out.

A good exercise for the heart is to bend down

No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths.

“Break the world that has tried to break you.” – Lev Grossman

DARK COIN OF THE SOUL //

If the whole world is going to crash down then I am going to make the sound of the crashing. I want to scream until all my bones break.”

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.”

Just slap anything on when you see a blank canvas staring you in the face like some imbecile

One cannot always tell what it is that keeps us shut in, confines us, seems to bury us, but still one feels certain barriers, certain gates, certain walls. Is all this imagination, fantasy? I don not think so. And then one asks: My God! Is it for long, is it for ever, is it for eternity? Do you know what frees one from this captivity? it is a very deep serious madness and anger.

“Where there are monsters there are miracles.”

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised is the best one.

I love the idea for enjoy the ride. I feel like in the last few years, I have finally come to terms with enjoying my own ride. Now that I’ve made the commitment to myself, to enjoy my ride…everything seems so effortless. In a way, I think it has set me up to be ready for whatever may come and to welcome it with open arms

Inside me, there is an organ more important than my heart. Although you can’t see it, I feel it going right through my head and down to my legs, and I know that it exists inside me. It’s the one that lets me stand up and walk forward. So that I can walk forward, without ever trembling. If I stopped here I feel like it would break…My soul would break. Even more than if my heart stops beating, to me that is the most important. Even if I become crazy and my arms gets cut, I still have to walk forward.

if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, you will spend your whole life believing that he’s stupid.

Why you think that simply being in love will change everything?

Live like fire-hearted suns to spend their strength In farthest striving action; breathe more free In mighty anguish than in trivial ease.

Anger is like fire. It burns it all clean
