It’s that thing when you’re with someone and you love them and they know it and they love you and you know it but it’s a party and you’re both talking to other people and you’re laughing and shining and you look across the room and catch each other’s eyes. But not because you’re possessive, or it’s precisely sexual, but because that is your person in this life and it’s funny and sad but only because this life will end and it’s this secret world that exists right there. In public. Unnoticed. That no one else knows about. It’s sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us but we don’t have the ability to perceive them. That’s what I want out of a relationship. Or just life, I guess.

The free exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world.

- John Steinbeck, East of Eden

[courtneydunagan]

With rue my heart is laden for golden friends I had, for many a rose-lipt maiden and many a light foot lad. By brooks too broad for leaping the light foot lads are laid; the rose-lipt girls are sleeping in fields where roses fade.

- A.E. Housman

Even when beaten he could steal a little victory by laughing at defeat.

- John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Words, though fragile and imperfect, are not ‘futile hopes.’ They name our fears. They resist the chaos of suffering and seductive power of inertia. They are ‘efforts to transcend pain.’

Excerpt from the Introduction of Anna Kamieńska’s Astonishments, written by Grazyna Drabik and David Curzon.  (via oggi-piove)

Those who are willing to be vulnerable move among mysteries.

Just as I burned in my mind, now I burn in you. The wood has long resisted, holding back from the flames you ignite— now I feed you and blaze in you.

Rainer Maria Rilke, from A Year with Rilke (via marcescentfleur)
