“It’s a dangerous thing to romanticise the past, to allow nostalgia to drag up old memories from the depths of our hearts and fashion them into something they’re not. We made a mirage of a memory and knelt before it like a false god. What we called love was nothing but foolish hope.”
— Beau Taplin • N o s t a l g i a
“Strange about learning; the farther I go the more I see that I never knew even existed. A short while ago I foolishly thought I could learn everything – all the knowledge in the world. Now I hope only to be able to know of its existence, and to understand one grain of it. Is there time?”
— Daniel Keyes, Flowers for Algernon (via quotespile)
“I’m only quiet because I’m worried that if you push me too far, one day I will open my mouth and I will scream so loudly, it will shatter and break the whole world.”
— Iain Thomas
The evil in the world comes almost always from ignorance, and goodwill can cause as much damage as ill-will if it is not enlightened. People are more often good than bad, though in fact that is not the question. But they are more or less ignorant and this is what one calls vice or virtue, the most appalling vice being the ignorance that thinks it knows everything and which consequently authorizes itself to kill. The murderer’s soul is blind, and there is no true goodness or fine love without the greatest possible degree of clear-sightedness.
The Plague / Albert Camus
“You don’t know the first thing about love. Love isn’t about taking what you want; it’s about wanting happiness for the one you love.”
— Terry Goodkind
How did this happen?
How did I end up in this position? The feelings were real, very real. But you can't trust feelings alone. They have to work in tandem with your rational self. For a small moment I let emotion and infatuation take control. Just the smallest of moments. Now I'm expecting my first child with a woman whom I have nothing in common with mentally. She's a low to mid-level consciousness person. She's also what we in the Atheist community call a "kool-aid drinker". She's a Christian. You wouldn't be wrong to call us polar opposites. So how did this all happen? Her religiosity didn't bother me at first. It was her music and her beauty that initially attracted me. I got to know her and found her to be a beautiful person. But none of that matters in regards to being in a committed relationship because if the compatibility isn't there then the relationship is ultimately doomed. Unfortunately I got her pregnant before I could fully get out of it, so now, whether we stay together or not, she's going to be a part of my life forever. I don't need pity or advice, and I refuse to let regret dictate my actions moving forward. For the rest of my life my child, my legacy will be my number one priority. Right now I'm being as supportive as possible. And I'm trying to "fake it till I make it" with my girlfriend, as unhealthy as it sounds. She's emotionally unstable and has ADHD, on top of the hormones raging from the pregnancy, so it would be unwise to break up with her right now. I'll try to make it work for our soon-to-be child's sake. She trusts in God. But that will never be who I am again. I know too much, about everything to fall for the trap of religion again. My mind is something I cannot and will not change for her. So if she decides to end the relationship on her own terms, so be it. But like I said, it's all going to be about the life growing in her right now. Everything else will have to come second.
“I can feel guilty about the past, Apprehensive about the future,but only in the present can I act.The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.”
— Abraham Maslow (via quotemadness)
“When we are the victims of illusion we do not feel it to be an illusion but a reality. It is the same perhaps with evil. Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil but as a necessity, or even a duty.”
— Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace
This is one of those things that I already knew was true, but seeing it so blatantly displayed makes me feel like like I am finding out about it for the first time.
CIA is getting lazy
“It’s just a script whats the problem lol” the problem is that Fox, CNN, CBS, and all the other channels repped here, despite claiming to be different companies with different viewpoints, all had the exact same script, word for word, to push the exact same viewpoint that smaller, independent news outlets are Fake News and “A Threat To Our Democracy.” The fact that they have scripts isn’t the problem. The problem is they all, each and every one, have the exact same script down to the letter and in some cases the fucking inflection, which basically reads “small news stations are untrustworthy and a Threat to your Way Of Life, only trust Us, We Are Verified.”
This is scary as hell
“If only my heart were as cold as I pretend it is, maybe I could get over this.”

“I despised my arrival on this earth and I despise my departure; it is a tragedy.”
