I have done nothing all summer but wait for myself to be myself again —

There’s a lightness in things. Only we move forever  burdened, pressing ourselves onto everything, obsessed by weight.  How strange and devouring our ways must seem to those for whom life is enough.

Rainer Maria Rilke, “Part Two XIV,” from Sonnets to Orpheus  (via stoicremains)

When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.

Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast (via litverve)

I’m fighting myself. I know I am. One minute I want to remember. The next minute I want to live in the land of forgetting. One minute I want to feel. The next minute I never want to feel ever again.

I think and think and think, I‘ve thought myself out of happiness one million times, but never once into it.

No rule of general morality can show you what you ought to do.

Jean-Paul Sartre, Existentialism is a Humanism (via whyallcaps)

Well, it’s not enough to be talented. There’s a lot of talent out
there, but it’s owned by lazy, stupid, or essentially boring
people. You can’t just be talented: You have to be terribly
smart and energetic and ruthless. You also have to become
necessary to people, by working hard and well and bringing
more than your bones and your skin to the project. Don’t just
show up. Transform the work, yourself, and everybody
around you. Be needed. Be interesting. Be something no one
else can be–and consistently.

Katharine Hepburn (via creatingaquietmind)
