So we treat our love like a firefly, Like it only gets to shine for a little while.

“What gunpowder did for war the printing press has done for the mind.”

“feeling love is a certainty even if being loved is not.”
David Leavitt

“I believe in the imagination. What I cannot see is infinitely more important than what I can see.”

“ On any day you can step out the front door and your whole life can change forever.

"This moment will just be another story some day.

“I really love him, you know. People say they don’t know what love is. Everyone says it now. They’re scared to know. I’d suffer for him and be humiliated for him. I’d be ashamed for him and let people hate me for him. I have and still will. People don’t want to know love. They might have to get dirty.”

and I said "What about, Breakfast at Tiffany's" And she said "I think I remember the film."

“so i walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, i was drizzle and she was a hurricane”
Looking For Alaska - John Green

Passion is passion. It’s the excitement between the tedious spaces, and it doesn’t matter where it’s directed. It can be coins or sports or politics or horses or music or faith … The saddest people I’ve ever met in life are the ones who don’t care deeply about anything at all.
Nicholas Sparks 

You don’t know what goes on in anyone’s life but your own. And when you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re not messing with just that part. Unfortunately, you can’t be that precise and selective. When you mess with one part of a person’s life, you’re messing with their entire life. Everything… affects everything.
Jay Aster - Thirteen Reasons Why

I like people who have a sense of individuality. 
I love expression and anything akward and imperfect,
because that's natural and that's real.

“I don’t want to be tolerated. I just want to be loved, I want to be accepted
Spencer Carlin, South of Nowhere

After all, reading is arguably a far more creative and imaginative process than writing; when the reader creates emotion in their head, or the colors of the sky during the setting sun, or the smell of a warm summer’s breeze on their face, they should reserve as much praise for themselves as the do for the writer - perhaps more.

The Well of Lost Plots - Jasper Fforde

When we hold each other, in the darkness, it doesn’t make the darkness go away. The bad things are still out there. The nightmares still walking. When we hold each other we feel not safe, but better. “It’s all right” we whisper, “I’m here, I love you.” and we lie: “I’ll never leave you.” For just a moment or two the darkness doesn’t seem so bad.

Midnight Days - Neil Gaiman

i'm scared and i don't say it often, but i can't stand that fact that you can hurt me. i don't like being so close, but i love it. you're my everything and i hate it because you have everything you need to break me. i'm not saying you will but i'm scared

“You know how sometimes the last sentence you said, like, echoes in your brain? And it just keeps sounding stupider? And you have to say something else just to make it stop?
My So-Called Life

People should fall in love with their eyes closed

Andy Warhol

Bad grades on tests disappoint people, cheating disappoints people, telling lies disappoints people. In the end, disappointment is usually temporary, given by small things: bad things. At least, that's is what usually happens. It seems that I, as a whole, am the exception. I disappoint people. I don't usually have to try, nor am I ever consciously doing it. I'm a disappointment of a daughter, a roommate, a friend, and a girlfriend. Maybe I just never turn out to be what people expect me to be. I just feel bad letting everyone down. And worst of all, I hate being a disappointment to myself. ©beautifulisgone

“The biggest truth to face now–what is probably making me unfunny now for the remainder of my life–is that I don’t think people give a damn whether the planet goes on or not. It seems to me as if everyone is living as members of Alcoholics Anonymous do, day by day. And a few more days will be enough. I know of very few people who are dreaming of a world for their grandchildren.”
kurt vonnegut, a man without a country

So please try not to hate me. I am a flawed human being - a far more flawed human being than you realize. Which is precisely why I do not want you to hate me. Because if you were to do that, I would really go to pieces. I can’t do what you do: I can’t slip inside my shell and wait for things to pass. Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

“I have very little patience for those who show neither desire nor intent to fuel change, yet make criticism a habit. And sometimes that means me.”

“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once"
Albert Einstein  

I never really understood the word 'loneliness.' As far as I was concerned, I was in a giant orgy with the sky and the ocean, and with nature"
-Björk 

Love, is not about finding the perfect person. It is to see an imperfect person, perfectly.

“We all die. The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.”

“Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers. You can fill your life up with ideas and still go home lonely. All you really have that really matters are feelings.”

“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”

“A writer who doesn’t share their work with the world is the most selfish kind of person there is.”

“You know what? fuck beauty contests. life is one fucking beauty contest after another. school, then college, then work… fuck that. And fuck the air force academy. if i want to fly, i’ll find a way to fly. you do what you love, and fuck the rest.”

Harry Potter Challenge [day one]:
Top 3 favorite characters & why:

Luna Lovegood, Hermione, and Dumbledore

Luna for obvious reason. She’s adorable, has the most random knowledge, the best quotes, will be friends with everyone, and I’d totally want her as my best friend

Hermione because, not to appear as a feminist, she is a very strong female character. Shes good looking, has a beautiful personality, and I would also want to be her best friend. 

Okay, pause, I guess I’d want to be best friends with every character and the actors that play them.

Dumbledore because of how he handles all situations so calmly. It is a characteristic I could definitely use. He is the strongest of strong characters and will always be remembered!
