“I like too many things and get all confused and hung-up running from one falling star to another till I drop. This is the night, what it does to you. I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion.”
—Jack Keroauc (via fatalistichues)
“Being single is getting over the illusion that there is somebody out there to complete you and taking charge of your own life.”
—Omkar Phatak (via littlemiss) (via papertissue)
“You can spend your whole life thinking you want commitment. You grow up with a clear idea of exactly what it is that you want, and yet when you have it, when it’s there, attainable, on your doorstep, you change your mind. Perhaps this is what we need: a dream, a hope for the future, something to aspire to, and perhaps we need to keep replacing this dream with something a little bigger, because when we manage to fulfill the dream, we usually find out that it’s not what we wanted in the first place, or if it is, it doesn’t feel the way we always thought it should. Sometimes, if you’re very mixed up, very stupid, or very thoughtless, you screw up the dream just as you get it. you tell yourself you don’t deserve it, and you have to start all over again.”
—Jane Green (via anditslove)
“You speak an infinite deal of nothing.”
—William Shakespeare (via quote-book) (via longlivethequeen) (via useyourillusion)
“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next.”
—Gilda Radner (via anditslove)
“The most important lesson in life: You cannot count on anyone except yourself. It’s sad but true, and the sooner you learn it, the better.”
—Carolyn Burnham, American Beauty (via movieoftheday) (via useyourillusion)
“Out of intense complexities intense simplicities emerge.”
—Winston Churchill (via bitchville)
“Love is the most terrible, and also the most generous of the passions; it is the only one which includes in its dreams the happiness of someone else”
—Alphonse Karr (via kari-shma) (via quote-book) (via pickmeadaisy)
“Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering.”
