deadly quotes

[deadlyquotes]

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.

George Moore

[deadlyquotes]

Whenever we give up, leave behind, and forget too much, there is always the danger that the things we have neglected will return with added force.

Carl Jung

[deadlyquotes]

My favorite thing is to go where I’ve never been before.

Diane Arbus

[deadlyquotes]

Let us decide on the route that we wish to take to pass our life, and attempt to sow that route with flowers.

Madame du Chatelet

[deadlyquotes]

They always say that times changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

Andy Warhol

[deadlyquotes]

Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

1 Corinthians 13:4-5

[wordsthat-speak]

You get depressed because you know that you’re not what you should be.

Marilyn Manson

"The most common form of despair is not being who you are.”

- Søren Kierkegaard

[violentwavesofemotion-deactivat]

I’m so odd, and I’m so limited, and I’m so different from the ordinary human being—so you say. I have a strong suspicion that I’m the simplest of you all, and that its my extreme transparency that baffles you. I dont think I ever feel anything but the most ordinary emotions.

Virginia Woolf, from a letter to Ethel Smyth 

[deadlyquotes]

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.

Steve Jobs

[mylinae]

She laughs at everything, and way too loudly. Her favorite color is green. She swears more than any of us guys. She walks with this little bounce in her step, almost on her tip-toes, but not quite. She lives for sun dress weather. On some days her eyes seem more gray than blue and her smile doesn’t fully reach them, but I haven’t figured out that pattern yet. She is never on time. Like, ever. Baseball is her religion, and David Ortiz is Jesus. She’s the first person any of our friends would call if they needed help. Her cupcakes are the best things I’ve ever had. She bites her lip when her mind wanders. Sometimes there’s a little hint of a Boston accent shadowed in her words. She’s got the best taste in music of anyone I know. She’s tone deaf. She makes up elaborate stories just to see who’ll believe them (there’s still a large faction at our school that believes the nearby department store construction is for a multi-million dollar indoor waterpark.) When you talk to her, she makes you feel like there’s nowhere else she’d rather be than right there in that moment with you. Her drunk dancing is the goofiest thing I’ve ever seen. She’s absurdly good at beer pong. Her hair gets blonder in the summer. And she doesn’t know it, but I love her, I love her.

Letters to Crushes

[deadlyquotes]

Everything will be alright in the end so if it is not alright it is not the end.

Deborah Moggach, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

[deadlyquotes]

Don’t tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you traveled.

Mohammed

[deadlyquotes]

When you're traveling, you are what you are, right there and then. People don't have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.

William Least Heat-Moon

[deadlyquotes]

I can speak to my soul only when the two of us are off exploring deserts or cities or mountains or roads.

Paulo Coelho, Aleph

[deadlyquotes]

Travel empties out everything you’ve put into the box called your life, all the things you accumulate to tell you who you are.

Claire Fontaine

[deadlyquotes]

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.

Gilda Radner

[deadlyquotes]

To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.

Robert Louis Stevenson, An Inland Voyage
