The Typic Series

this space is where I share my favorite quotes that I design around using my own photography, it's my take on the fusion between (PIC)TURES + (TYP)OGRAPHY, welcome to "The TYPICS Series"

[thecalminside]

“A great silent space holds all of nature in its embrace. It also holds you.”

Eckhart Tolle

[goodreadss]

There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.

Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey (via goodreadss)

[noorshirazie]

do not nail your future to that of another person. there is a whole world out there, hungry to be explored. one rarely comes across two separate fates that are shaped the same way. stop altering the edges of your destiny to fit immaculately with that of someone else. they will resent you for forcing yourself onto them and mapping out a life they may not be a part of down the road. you will resent them for the eventual bitterness and dissatisfaction at a life you never intended to live. you cannot expect to know the final chapter without giving the entire book a chance.

Noor Shirazie (via noorshirazie)

[quotemadness]

I keep wondering, how many people do you need to be, before you can become yourself.

Iain Thomas (via quotemadness)

[vincentvangogh-art]

Art is to console those who are broken by life.

Vincent van Gogh (via vincentvangogh-art)

[yungoracle]

I do believe in an everyday sort of magic - the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of syncronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we’re alone.

Charles de Lint (via noorshirazie)

[typics]

Honorable beginnings should serve to awaken curiosity, not to heighten people's expectations. We are much better off when reality surpasses our expectations, and something turns out better than we thought it would.

Baltasar Gracián (The Art of Worldly Wisdom)

[direwolfiex]

The reason the universe came into existence was for two friends to meet.

Shams Tabrizi (via al-malakut)

[typics]

There will be a time when the fences choose to sit with us instead of standing between us.

Poet Amal Kassir (video)

[stardust-seedling]

By contemplating the impermanence of everything in the world, we are forced to recognise that every time we do something could be the last time we do it, and this recognition can invest the things we do with a significance and intensity that would otherwise be absent. We will no longer sleepwalk through our life.

William B. Irvine (via stardust-seedling)

[typics]

Praise someone’s august forehead; note the melancholy sweetness of their eyes. Admire an expression of kindly acceptance; point out serenity; a trusting face, a candid nose…There are so many good and attractive things we can see in people’s faces, if we are alert to different types of beauty. And hopefully someone, somewhere, will one day do the same for us.

The Book of Life

[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 arabarabarab)

[emotional-algebra]

I know now that we never get over great losses; we absorb them, and they carve us into different, often kinder, creatures.

Gail Caldwell, Let’s Take the Long Way Home (via emotional-algebra)

[emotional-algebra]

"Some days you must learn a great deal. But you should also have days when you allow what is already in you to swell up and touch everything. If you never let that happen, then you just accumulate facts, and they begin to rattle around inside of you."

E.L. Konigsburg (via emotional-algebra)

[psych-facts]

We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.

Brené Brown (via aestheticintrovert)

[simply-quotes-deactivated202002]

You can plan for things, work towards them for years, and yet they never materialize. Or you can just happen to be in the right place at the right moment, and everything falls into place.

John Ajvide Lindqvist, Little Star (via susanbae)

[emotional-algebra]

“How many times do we lose an occasion for soul work by leaping ahead to final solutions without pausing to savor the undertones? We are a radically bottom-line society, eager to act and to end tension, and thus we lose opportunities to know ourselves for our motives and our secrets.”

Thomas Moore (via emotional-algebra)
