I was quiet, but I was not blind.

Fanny Price, Mansfield Park (Jane Austen)

It takes a certain level of maturity to know that love does not always equate with a healthy relationship.

Women are supposed to be the ones on the balcony, not the ones down below professing their love. We don’t think the female romantic is romantic. We think she is a predator. We think she is desperate, unstable—Fatal Attraction, the cougar, the spinster, the troublemaker. But deep emotion in this age is a radical act.

Masha Tupitsyn in this incredible Bitch interview on Love Dog (via marginalutilite)

If you feel your happiness and self-worth being dictated by anyone other than yourself, run. Run as fast as you can into your own arms.

Repeat after me: I am a survivor. I am strong. I am beautiful. And I will recover.

If you want to forget something or someone, never hate it, or never hate him/her. Everything and everyone that you hate is engraved upon your heart; if you want to let go of something, if you want to forget, you cannot hate.

Rage is a powerful energy that with diligent practice can be transformed into fierce compassion. However much we disagree with our enemies, our task is to identify with them. They too feel justified in their point of view.

Gautama Buddha (via purplebuddhaproject)

It isn’t normal to know what we want. It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.

Abraham Maslow (via apoetreflects)

But it’s not possible to forget anybody you were that hung up on, who was that hung up on you. You can’t forget anything that hurt so badly, went so deep, and changed the world forever. It’s not possible to forget anybody you’ve destroyed.

James Baldwin, Another Country (via under-the-volcano)

[stay-impure-deactivated20180721]

Fall in love with someone who wants you, who waits for you. who understands you even in the madness; someone who helps you, and guides you, someone who is your support, your hope. Fall in love with someone who talks with you after a fight. Fall in love with someone who misses you and wants to be with you. Do not fall in love only with a body or with a face; or with the idea of being in love.

We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (via rabbitinthemoon)

[observando]

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.

Anatole France (via observando)

Relationships aren’t here to make us happy (for true happiness lies within) - they’re here to make us profoundly conscious.

Ekchart Tolle (via conscious-relationship)

She was a person to whom one could say what came into one’s head.

Virginia Woolf, from To The Lighthouse (via violentwavesofemotion)
