“It Takes Two To Make An Accident.”

“You’re always haunted by the idea you’re wasting your life.”

— Chuck Palahniuk 

“Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.”

— Madeleine L’Engle

“The prettier the garden, the dirtier the hands of the gardener.”

— B. E. Barnes 

We wait all of our life for temporary things, like it is a normal thing. We wait for the weekend, for holidays, vacations, but this is not what life is about. We should not wait (never) because our life is too short and people don't observe this.

“All your life you wait, and then it finally comes, and are you ready?”

— Anthony Doerr (via quotemadness)

“Eye contact is a dangerous, dangerous thing. But lovely. God, so lovely.”

— Hedonist Poet
