I can’t stand it to think my life is going so fast and I’m not really living it.

Ernest Hemingway (via quotemadness)

Life, as we find it, is too hard for us; it brings us too many pains, disappointments and impossible tasks. In order to bear it we cannot dispense with palliative measures… There are perhaps three such measures: powerful deflections, which cause us to make light of our misery; substitutive satisfactions, which diminish it; and intoxicating substances, which make us insensible to it.

Sigmund Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents (via kushandwizdom)

Do you think the universe fights for souls to be together? Some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences.

Emery Allen (via quotemadness)

But it’s not easy. I’ve been thinking it over for years. While we loved each other we didn’t need words to make ourselves understood. But people don’t love forever. A time came when I should have found the words to keep her with me, only I couldn’t.

Albert Camus, The Plague (via wordsnquotes)

[wordsnquotes]

I must learn to love the fool in me - the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.

Theodore Isaac Rubin (via wordsnquotes)

The more you love, the more you suffer.

summers done, but the felling lives on

[wnq-writers]

One minute they ache to touch you, the next day they want nothing to do with you. Feelings are a fickle thing. You want answers, you need closure, and now you’re laying awake at night trying to hold yourself together because you allowed yourself to be vulnerable. You are full of love for someone who saw what you had to offer – and they decided they didn’t want it. This, an unbearable version of the many forms of loneliness.

N.M.Sanchez (via wordsnquotes)

After all, soul mates always end up together.
