Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.
- Neil Gaiman
There are certain people that’ll inhabit a small, quiet space inside your heart despite any circumstance, happening, or situation. They left a piece of themselves when your souls collided upon impact. And there they’ll always subtly remain.
- Victoria Erickson
nobody can save you but
yourself
and it will be easy enough to fail
so very easily
but don’t, don’t, don’t.
just watch them.
listen to them.
do you want to be like that?
a faceless, mindless, heartless
being?
do you want to experience
death before death?
- Charles Bukowski
Closing your eyes isn't going to change anything. That's the kind of world we live in. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes. Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won't make time stand still.
- Haruki Murakami
Do not invent sufferings that you have not experienced and do not paint a window that you have not seen, because a lie is much more boring in a story than in a conversation.
- A.P. Chekhov
Perhaps we don’t love unreasonably because we think we have time, or have to reckon with time. But what if we don't have time? Or what if time, as we know it, is irrelevant?
- Franz Kafka
