You know, we thank some people for merely living at the same time as we do, I thank you for the fact that I met you, that I will remember you for all my life.

“If we listened to our intellect we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go in business because we’d be cynical: ‘It’s gonna go wrong.” Or “She’s going to hurt me.’ Or, ‘I’ve had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore…’. Well, that’s nonsense. You’re going to miss life. You’ve got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.”

— Ray Bradbury  (via dieworten)
