You never get over it. But you get to where it doesn’t bother you so much.

Jeffrey Eugenides (via quotemadness)

Don’t sabotage yourself. There are plenty of other people willing to do that for free.

Jenny Lawson, Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things (via booksquoteslove)

I crave a comfort I cannot obtain, A love that does not exist. A touch that I will never feel. I desire something that I once knew, but I will never know again

A.P (via 3amwritting)

Love her, love her, love her! If she favours you, love her. If she wounds you, love her. If she tears your heart to pieces – and as it gets older and stronger, it will tear deeper – love her, love her, love her!

Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

[scrumptiouswords16-blog]

If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph: THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WAS MUSIC

Kurt Vonnegut

'I Wanna Hold Your Hand.’ First single. Fucking brilliant. Perhaps the most fucking brilliant song ever written. Because they nailed it. That’s what everyone wants. Not 24-7 hot wet sex. Not a marriage that lasts a hundred years. Not a Porsche or a blow job or a million-dollar crib. No. They wanna hold your hand. They have a feeling that they can’t hide.

Rachel Cohn, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

[scrumptiouswords16-blog]

You float like a feather In a beautiful world And I wish I was special You're so fuckin' special

Radiohead, “Creep”

[booksquoteslove]

Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

Louise Erdrich, The Painted Drum (via booksquoteslove)

[scrumptiouswords16-blog]

If you've never stared off into the distance, then your life is a shame.

Counting Crows, Mrs. Potter’s Lullaby

[quotemadness]

Sometimes you tell someone to never call you again and then the phone rings and you hope it’s them. It’s the most twisted logic of all time.

John Mayer (via quotemadness)

Let us be elegant or die!

Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

[3amwritting]

Not everyone is and alcoholic, Or a drug addict, Some people work too much, lock themselves away, or drink their coffee like its life support. But the idea is the same, to drown themselves in something, in anything. To push away everything for a moment, just one small moment. Next time, look closer, Because everyone has their demons, Some just aren’t that obvious

A.P (via 3amwritting)

Peace cannot be achieved through violence, it can only be attained through understanding.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

[scrumptiouswords16-blog]

'Is the spring coming?' he said. 'What is it like?'... 'It is the sun shining on the rain and the rain falling on the sunshine...'

 Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden

[scrumptiouswords16-blog]

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Rob Siltanen, an advertisement for Apple 

[scrumptiouswords16-blog]

There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons.

Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

[scrumptiouswords16-blog]

Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind. Ain't life unkind?

The Rolling Stones, Ruby Tuesday
