What if I slept a little more and forgot about all this nonsense.
Franz Kafka
I assure you, I’m not put together at all. Nor am I broken. I am recovering - finding the beautiful in the ugly and stitching it into my life.
Rachel Wolchin
“Never break a writer’s heart. She will bend you & break you, turning you into a monster you never thought you could become. You will live forever, tucked between the words on her pages & the scars on her heart. She has written new worlds for you, & you wouldn’t even give her a pen. When they ask why the flowers she writes keep getting darker, she will tell them she ran out of ink.” 📜
Every artists dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures.
Henry Ward Beecher
Never have I dealt with anything more difficult than my own soul, which sometimes helps me and sometimes opposes me.
Imam al-Ghazali
It was good for a while, being empty. I didn’t hurt anymore. But as time went on, it was like I could hear myself from far away, begging for permission to come back.
Myra McEntire
"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers."
~Charles W. Eliot
Damn those pretty little forget-me-nots!
I had one pressed in my book, on the same page with the paragraph you had underlined for me back when your love language was still loud and unhinged. But then you forgot how to talk and I went blue realising those damned flowers never meant the same thing to you.
