All I ever really want to know is how other people are making it through life—where do they put their body, hour by hour, and how do they cope inside of it.

Miranda July, It Chooses You (via creatingaquietmind)

The claims of contemporary art cannot be ignored in any vital scheme of life. The art of to-day is that which really belongs to us: it is our own reflection. In condemning it we but condemn ourselves. We say that the present age possesses no art: who is responsible for this?

How do you tell someone you’re sorry for ruining their life?

Jodi Picoult, Salem Falls (via creatingaquietmind)

Intimacy is the art of licking wounds. And it’s taken me years to let anyone kiss me when my lips were chapped.

I'm only quiet because I'm worried that if you push me too far, one day I will open my mouth and I will scream so loudly, it will shatter and break the whole world.

Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that god-damn mountain.

Jack Kerouac (via saddest-summer)

A collector is anxious to acquire specimens to illustrate a period or a school, and forgets that a single masterpiece can teach us more than any number of the mediocre products of a given period or school. We classify too much and enjoy too little.

Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You’ve got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it.

Ray Bradbury (via thresca)

"Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.” 

― Pablo Picasso

[middlenameconfused]

Life is grace. Sleep is forgiveness. The night absolves. Darkness wipes the slate clean, not spotless to be sure, but clean enough for another day’s chalking.

Frederick Buechner (via creatingaquietmind)

[kari-shma]

Life moves on, whether we act as cowards or heroes. Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one for him who has the vision to recognise it as such.

Henry Miller (via kari-shma)

[quote-book]

When a woman writes you a poem, she spends time with the gods on your behalf.

Aja Monet (via Swanfeather Songs)

[kari-shma]

To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures. Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there is no guarantee that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.

Harry Callahan (via kari-shma)

Happy Pride Week Everyone!

Remember where you came from, where you’re going, and why you created this mess you got yourself into in the first place.

Richard Bach, Illusions (via creatingaquietmind)
