Stretching to the sky I need some height To gain some perspective
Because you look over me With a deity's presumption That you haven't earned. You're no better, You're no worse Than me.
Digging into the soil I need some depth To stake my claim
Because I’m going nowhere Just because you said to I’m doing nothing Just because you make me I’m going and doing nothing Because I can
'Let me tell you this,' Prince Andrey cut him short in a tone of quiet authority, 'you are trying to insult me, and I'm ready to agree with you that it is very easy to do so, if you haven't sufficient respect for yourself.'"
Prince Andrey in Leo Tolstoy's War & Peace
He [Prince Nikolay Andreivitch Bolkonsky] used to maintain that human vices all sprang from only two sources -- idleness and superstition, and that there were but two virtues -- energy and intelligence.
War and Peace, Leo Tolstoy (trans. Constance Garnett)
God is an attempt at an explanation for the universe. Art is not an explanation. Art is a question that is permanently unanswered.
"Church of the Funnies" from Bizarre Romance, Audrey Niffenegger & Eddie Campbell
...They walked along the sidewalk without talking, because if either of them said anything, it would end up turning into a conversation about why they weren't going to see each other anymore.
"At the Movies" from Bizarre Romance, Audrey Niffenegger & Eddie Campbell
The man sat on the bed and looked about him. There was a washstand, a pink china bowl with its chipped pitcher, a wing chair by the small barred window, a worn carpet, a small bookcase, a desk, an ashtray, a wastebasket, a wardrobe, and a lamp. The bed had whitewashed iron fittings, like a servant's. His own things were piled in a heap at the foot of the bed, his clothing and his painting materials, his books and his pipe. All he needed was there except the bottle, the most important thing.

The Pacific Northwest is fucking Perfect
Holy shit
I want to go to there.
Elusive Explanations
"Do you think things always have an explanation?"
"Yes. I believe that they do. But I think that with our human limitations we're not always able to understand the explanations. But you see, Meg, just because we don't understand doesn't mean that the explanation doesn't exist."
- A Wrinkle in Time, Madeleine L'Engle
What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? How very odd, to believe God gave you life, and yet not think that life asks more of you than watching TV?
John Green, An Abundance of Katherines
"But mothers lie. It's in the job description."
- John Green, An Abundance of Katherines
"'I am the one who failed you. Who could not save you. Despite the honorifics they attach to my name. All of this to parade me about as INTELLIGENT. But what is intelligence? Is intelligence calculations and computations? Or must true intelligence contain a moral component? Each passing minute, I believe more that this is the case. And therefore believe that I am stupid, stupid, stupid.'"
- Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus, The Shape of Water
Time is against her, but she takes some of it anyway.
The Shape of Water by Guillermo del Toro and Daniel Kraus
...There's a mirror here in the bedroom, too, but she chooses not to look at it, just in case her hunch is true and she's invisible.

If you are sane enough to recognize that you are on the brink of insanity, than you are sane enough to keep yourself from stepping off the edge.

Needed this, thanks.
It’s really depressing how Labor Day has gone from “give laborers a day off” to “give white collar office workers and executives a day off but make retail laborers work so that executives can get a latte on their day off”
