“I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.”
—Simone De Beauvoir (via loveyourchaos)
“Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight.”
—Phyllis Diller (via cassket)
“It was not enough to be the last guy she kissed. I wanted to be the last one she loved. And I knew I wasn’t. I knew it, and I hated her for it. I hated her for not caring about me. I hated her for leaving that night, and I hated myself , too, not only because I let her go but because if I had been enough for her, she wouldn’t have even wanted to leave. She would have just lain with me and talked and cried, and I would have listened and kissed at her tears as they pooled in her eyes.”
—John Green Looking For Alaska (via l-amour-fou)
“Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (via kari-shma)
“So you were born, and that was a good day.
Someday you’ll die, and that is a shame.
But somewhere in the between was a life of which we all dream
And nothing and no one will ever take that away.” —Streetlight Manifesto, Somewhere in the Between (via quote-book)
