The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

Chuck Palahniuk, Diary (via quotefeeling)

But for the love of all things, please please please do not let the goal of creating something extravagant that goes down as a “classic” be something that clouds your vision of how important the little life-changing moments are. Maybe your smile to the child in line behind you at the grocery store is the only smile he’s seen today. And that is a moment that he will never forget. That he’ll write poetry about. That, ultimately, saves him.

There’s that thing that can happen to you when you meet somebody and you don’t consider them extraordinary at all and then they do something like play the cello or write amazing poetry or sing and suddenly you look at them completely differently.

Yvonne Prinz, The Vinyl Princess (via thoughtkick)

Sometimes it takes strangers to remind you how extraordinary life is.

Please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.

Sylvia Plath (via quotefeeling)

I have an infatuation with people’s stories and experiences behind why they are the way they are. I have an infatuation with being emotionally connected with everyone in my life. I understand that I can’t heal you, but I want to help you the best I can along the way.

I believe that kindness is the universal language. When someone does something kind it is understood despite language barriers or cultural differences. We should really communicate with kindness more often.

“I’m convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they’re stones that don’t matter. As long as you’re breathing, it’s never too late to do some good.” — Maya Angelou

[stay-close]

Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for l'm one of them.

— Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine
