You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.

John Green, Looking for Alaska (via booksqouted)

Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you’ll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won’t matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.

Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows (via booksqouted)

Everyone is afraid of something. We fear things because we value them. We fear losing people because we love them. We fear dying because we value being alive. Don’t wish you didn’t fear anything. All that would mean is that you didn’t feel anything.

Cassandra Clare, Lord of Shadows (via booksquoteslove)

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.

Neil Gaiman, The Kindly Ones (via booksqouted)

there’s something so special about falling in love with nature every time you see a little detail like a fallen leaf on the ground that’s slowly turning brown... or spotting a tiny mushroom that’s sprouting from a tree... or just getting a warm feeling when you see the moon, i’m in love with the little things of life
