“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
—Paulo Coelho (via wrists)
“In real life, love has to be possible. Even if it is not returned right away, love can only survive when the hope exists that you will be able to win over the person you desire.”
—By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, Paulo Coelho (via effyeahliteraryquotes)
“You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you’ve done something terr-ible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired. You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you don’t even have a name for.”
—“You Are Jeff,” Richard Siken (via effyeahliteraryquotes)
“My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.”
—Jack Kerouac (via misswallflower)
“The universe is made up of stories, not atoms.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (via tylerknott)
“They say that dreams are only real as long as they last. Couldn’t you say the same thing about life?”
—Waking Life (via funeral)
“Tonight, in the infinitesimal light of the stars,
The trees and the flowers have been strewing their cool odors.
I walk among them, but none of them are noticing.
Sometimes I think that when I am sleeping
I must most perfectly resemble them —
Thoughts gone dim.” —Sylvia Plath, I Am Vertical (via loveyourchaos)

"You've a good heart. Sometimes that's enough to see you safe wherever you go. But mostly, it's not."
“Tú eres todas las combinaciones de números. La vida.
Mi deseo es entender la línea la forma el movimiento. Tú llenas y yo recibo. Tu palabra recorre todo el espacio y llega a mis células que son mis astros y va a las tuyas que son mi luz.” —Frida Kahlo. (via stef-fy)

“How nice— to feel nothing, and still get full credit for being alive.”
—Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse Five (via loveyourchaos)
“I think you still love me, but we can’t escape the fact that I’m not enough for you. I knew this was going to happen. So I’m not blaming you for falling in love with another woman. I’m not angry, either. I should be, but I’m not. I just feel pain. A lot of pain. I thought I could imagine how much this would hurt, but I was wrong.”
—Haruki Murakami (via misswallflower)
