William Shakespeare, Antony And Cleopatra

"a flower knows, when its

butterfly will return,

and if the moon walks out, the

sky will understand;

but now it hurts, to watch you

leave so soon,

when I don't know, if you will

ever come back."

- Sanober Khan

"I think love is about happiness and sacrifice. Compromising instead of arguing. Having someone who is always there for you even when you don't deserve it. Loving someone means you want to spend the rest of your life with them, on the good days and bad days and everything in between."

- Throttled ( #1 Dirty Air Series) | Lauren Asher

Still looking for you everywhere, like my life depends on it.

you deserve someone who looks at you as you’re mid-laugh and feels like the luckiest person on earth

I walk and walk with cold hands. Back at the house it is filled with longing, nothing to carry longing away. I look back over my life. I try to find analogies. There are none. I have longed for people before, I have loved people before. Not like this. It was not this.

- Anne Carson

"Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts. I was better after I had cried, than before--more sorry, more aware of my own ingratitude, more gentle."

GREAT EXPECTATIONS | CHARLES DICKENS

"In many ways, September feels like the busiest time of the year: The kids go back to school, work piles up after the summer's dog days, and Thanksgiving is suddenly upon us."

Brené Brown

The smoke of despair spares no one. No matter how hard you try to avoid it, no matter how fast you try to run away from it. It seeps in through the smallest of cracks and crevices and shrouds you, blinds you. So much so that you can't see yourself. Can't feel yourself.

Sooner or later, it will dissipate.

But the remnants of the smoke which have infiltrated you will stay behind. It'll stay behind for a long time, and keep on reminding you of how debilitating it feels. But who knows? It might even stay forever.
