Lonely Warder

INFP-A, 25, HE/HIM Posting quotes from the books I have read or currently reading Instagram: LonelyWarder

[lonelywarder]

It is impossible to create love from nothing, from nothing only God creates.

The Brothers Karamazov | Fyodor Dostoyevsky

[lonelywarder]

We can have ambitions beyond our capacity and equally lack the ambition to fulfil our capacity. We are prone to violence as easily as we are prone to love.

Kingdom of Bones | Philip C. Quaintrell

[lonelywarder]

As I sit beside you and talk to you now, I’m terrified even to think about the future, because the future is once again loneliness, once again this stagnant, useless life; and what will there be for me to dream about when I have already been so happy in real life beside you! Oh, bless you, dear girl, for not turning me away from the very first, for making it possible that I can now say that I have lived at least two evenings in my life!

White Nights | Fyodor Dostoevsky

[lonelywarder]

Who knows, perhaps all my love amounted to nothing more than my feelings and imagination, just my imagination, perhaps it began as a prank or foolishness...

White Nights | Fyodor Dostoevsky

[lonelywarder]

He experienced the singular pleasure of watching people he loved fall in love with other people he loved.

A Little Life / Hanya Yanagihara

[lonelywarder]

He was so desperate to move away from the life he was in, the life he’d had; he wanted to be someone whom no one knew and who knew no one.

A Little Life / Hanya Yanagihara

[lonelywarder]

An oath could be broken, but a promise? A promise stood as long as you were still trying. A promise understood that sometimes your best wasn’t enough. A promise cried with you when all went to Damnation. A promise came to help when you could barely stand. Because a promise knew that sometimes, being there was all you could offer.

Wind and Truth / Brandon Sanderson

[lonelywarder]

Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, but that life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.

Love In The Time of Cholera / Gabriel Marquez

[lonelywarder]

Once you are aware of the particular shape and stink of human greed you will not fail to recognize an abundance of such behaviour.

Malice / John Gwynne

[lonelywarder]

Evolution doesn't care if we're happy, so long as we're reproductively successful. Happiness is tool that evolution uses to incentivize us to do what is in our genes' best interest. If we were capable of experiencing lasting happiness, evolution would lose one of its best tools.

The Social Leap | William Von Hillep

[lonelywarder]

If you forget why you are fighting, then victory itself becomes the goal. The longer we fight, the more detached we become. Both from our own minds, and from our original passions.

Rhythm of War / Brandon Sanderson

[lonelywarder]

My friends don't seem to be friends at all but people whose phone numbers I haven't lost.

High Fidelity / Nick Hornby

[lonelywarder]

I cannot help but wonder how many of us walk through our lives, day after day, feeling slightly broken and alone, surrounded all the time by others who feel exactly the same way.

The Slow Regards of Silent Things / Patrick Rothfuss

[lonelywarder]

Hard is trying to rebuild yourself, piece by piece, with no instruction book, and no clue as to where all the important bits are supposed to go.

A Long Way Down / Nick Hornby

[lonelywarder]

We all have our hiding places. Not just physical ones. Places deep inside where we put away the things we don’t want others to see. The less palatable parts.

The Burning Girls / C.J. Tudor

[lonelywarder]

We assume things because it’s easier, lazier. It stops us thinking too hard …usually about stuff that makes us feel uncomfortable. But not thinking can lead to misunderstandings and in some cases, tragedies.

The Chalk Man / C.J. Tudor

[lonelywarder]

Been thinking of converting my Tumblr to a open diary. Have a public life.
