“It’s you who brings the morning, and you who takes the sun when I sleep. You’re the only one who stuck around for me when I was losing faith in what I thought I would be. You’re the only one in the dark I see.”
—Lights, In the Dark I See (via trua)

“I have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad. Or I can go mad by ricocheting in between.”
—Sylvia Plath (via wring-out-the-rain)
“You cannot find peace by avoiding life.”
— Virginia Woolf (via atramentum)
“I often found myself thinking “That’s a good idea, save it for another day”, Why? Why delay? I needed to trust that there would be more, that I would have great ideas in the future and so should use my best stuff now. Pouring out ideas is better for creativity than doling them out by the teaspoon.”
—Gretchen Rubin (via rememo)
“What should I do about the wild and the tame? The wild heart that wants to be free, and the tame heart that wants to come home. I want to be held. I don’t want you to come too close. I want you to scoop me up and bring me home at nights. I don’t want to tell you where I am. I want to keep a place among the rocks where no one can find me. I want to be with you.”
—Jeanette Winterson (via lajoiedevivre)
“My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child; its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me.”
—Fernando Pessoa (via moldavia)
“Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.”
—Carl Jung (via funeral)
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
—John Lennon (via helloimamber)
