There's a word in Korean: 인연 [in yun] ⁠— it means "providence" or "fate". If two strangers walk by each other in the street, and their clothes accidentally brush, that means there have been eight thousand layers of 인연 between them.

"So there's a tension between my desire to be still and my desire to roam, as there is a tension between my love of silence and my love of words "

“A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.”

"Side by side, they were very much alike, in similarity less of lineament than of manner and bearing,

a correspondence of gesture which bounced and echoed between them so that a blink seemed to reverberate, moments later, in a twitch of the other's eyelid.

Their eyes were the same color of gray, intelligent and calm. She, I thought, was very beautiful, in an unsettling, almost medieval way which would not be apparent to the casual observer.“

~ Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Your hands on my back,

Slow tenderness to soothe me.

How did you learn all this?

That dream was put in your heart for a reason.

Photos like this one literally makes me cry right now. Hurts so bad to value something after loosing it

Finally I moved. To another country, job, state of life. Can’t say that I’m happy. Sometimes it’s harder than ever.

“The blood on my teeth begins to taste like a poem, like religion, like the way you look at me.”

— Sean Glatch, from “Caffeine, Pt. 1,″ 4:41 (via lifeinpoetry)

“We often have to explain to young people why study is useful. It’s pointless telling them that it’s for the sake of knowledge, if they don’t care about knowledge. Nor is there any point in telling them that an educated person gets through life better than an ignoramus, because they can always point to some genius who, from their standpoint, leads a wretched life. And so the only answer is that the exercise of knowledge creates relationships, continuity, and emotional attachments. It introduces us to parents other than our biological ones. It allows us to live longer, because we don’t just remember our own life but also those of others. It creates an unbroken thread that runs from our adolescence (and sometimes from infancy) to the present day. And all this is very beautiful.”

Umberto Eco (1932 - 2016, RIP)
