It's Just Bad Chemicals

Hey, this is my literary quotes blog! Whenever I find a quote, either through reading or on the internet, it'll end up here. So sit back, relax and read through my quotes, I guess? - Jonny (allthebestofjonny)

Come away with me, won’t you? To a place of our own, where all the past has been forgotten and the future is yet unknown. Come away with me, and find that love was waiting for just you and I; for when we heard it in other places, it was but a song not fit for us. Come away with me, and discover what it means to be vulnerable without fear; to love without tears. Come away with me, and let us never come back to the places that did not want us.

Today, I lost a friend. I lost a dear, young friend in my life who was struggling with addiction. I’m sharing it with you because life and death live so close together, and we walk that fine line everyday. When things happen in our lives, we turn to the people that we love…and we lean on people, in a hope that we will ease our pain. So, I don’t really feel like telling any jokes. I’m kind of sad, and it’s really great to be here tonight and listen to all of you, and listen to the great work that you do and be reminded why we live in this bizarre planet called ‘Hollywood.’ It’s very strange.

I have a sadness shield that keeps out all the sadness, and it’s big enough for all of us.

I think I fall in love a little bit with anyone who shows me their soul. This world is so guarded and fearful. I appreciate rawness so much.

Emery Allen (via h0odrich)

Once, Picasso was asked what his paintings meant. He said, “Do you ever know what the birds are singing? You don’t. But you listen to them anyway.” So, sometimes with art, it is important just to look.

Marina Abramović (via madeinmezzanine)

After a while it didn't want to go back anymore, and if someone took it back and set it free it would only crouch in one place, afraid and hurting and homesick in two unknown and terribly ineluctable directions, until something came along and killed it.

Stephen King, Misery

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.

— Kurt Vonnegut (via psych-facts)

Don’t sit and wait. Get out there, feel life. Touch the sun, and immerse in the sea.

“Classic’ - a book which people praise and don’t read.”

My only regret is that I didn’t tell enough people to fuck off.

Your hand found mine. Life rushed to my fingers like a blood clot.

Anne Sexton, “The Touch,” from Love Poems (via lifeinpoetry)

[psych-facts]

If you were to press your heart close up against somebody else’s heart eventually your hearts will start beating at the same time. And two little babies in an incubator, their hearts will beat at the same time. Love that. So if you have somebody in your life that is prone to anxiety, like myself, and if you happen to be a calm person, you could come up and hug me heart to heart and my heart hopefully would slow to yours. And I just love that idea. Or maybe yours would speed up to mine. But either way, we’ll be there together.

— Andrea Gibson (via psych-facts)

He kissed her because it came about quite naturally; he found sweetness sleeping still upon her lips, and felt that he had never been away.

F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned (via fitzgeraldquotes)
