Solitude 

“After all this kind of fanfare, and even more, I came to a point where I needed solitude and to just stop the machine of ‘thinking’ and 'enjoying’ what they call 'living,’ I just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the clouds…”  ― Jack Kerouac, Lonesome Traveler

[soracities]

“It is no secret that, once gained, the objects of desire often lose their sweetness. The real Paris cannot live up to the dream city. The high-heeled pumps displayed in a shop window that glow with the promise of beauty, urbanity, and wealth are just shoes once they find their way into the closet. After a big wedding, which in all its pomp and circumstance announces marriage as a state of ultimate arrival, there is life with a real human being, who is inevitably myopic, weak, and idiosyncratic. The revolutionary eats and sleeps the revolution, the grand cleansing moment when a new order will triumph, and then, once it has happened, he finds himself wandering among corpses and ruins.”

— Siri Hustvedt, from “Variations on Desire”, Living, Thinking, Looking

“It is late at night, and someone across the way is playing “La Vie En Rose”. It is the French way of saying, “I am looking at the world through rose-coloured glasses,” and it says everything I feel.”

— Audrey Hepburn, Sabrina (via slightlyparis)

“And that’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.”

— The Kite Runner (Khaled Hosseini)

If I don’t ask for it, I don’t get it

for once I’d really like someone to think about me and do something for me just because they want to and because they think it’ll make me happy not because I’ve had to plant the idea, ask, remind, give instructions and examples and guide them to do it

i try and do that to make things better for others and I want to see what that feeling is like for me

but I’m just still waiting for it to happen
