I’d like to hold you in the mountains, like to kiss you by the sea. Take you far, far from here to a place where you feel free. Cause we are safe, we are true, we are going to make it through. Crashing worlds, falling stars, breaking all of who we are- I want infinity with you.

Courtney C. Stevens, Faking Normal (via wordsnquotes)

Great hearts are like great suns, they contain their own light and warmth. You, therefore, have no need of praise; you do not even need thanks; but I must tell you that I love you more every day, not only because you are one of the marvels of the age, but also because you are one of its consolations.       I thank you.       But pray come here; you known you promised to do so. Come and receive the greetings of all those who surround me, and who will rally round you no less loyally than round me.
