F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned (via fitzgeraldquotes)

Life consists of rare individual moments of the highest significance and countless intervals in which at best the phantoms of those moments hover about us. Love, spring, a beautiful melody, the mountains, the moon, the sea – they all speak truly to our heart only once: if they ever do in fact truly find speech.

Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human (via intellectualpoaching)

[intellectualpoaching]

[sublimequotesilove]

I see myself forever and ever as the ridiculous person, the lonely soul, the wanderer, the restless frustrated artist, the person in love with love, always in search of the absolute, always seeking the unattainable.
