George Lakoff

Es ist also von höchster Relevanz, welche Metaphern wir in der politischen Sprache benutzen, denn sie entscheiden darüber, was wir - Sprecher und Hörer - darüber denken. Und was wir nicht denken, weil es in der gewählten Metapher nicht vorkommt.

Dalai Lama

The planet does not need more 'successful people.' The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kinds.

Daphne du Maurier

I like simple things, books, being alone, or with somebody who understands.

"The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath" by Sylvia Plath

So, now I shall talk every night. To myself. To the moon. I shall walk, as I did tonight, jealous of my loneliness, in the blue-sliver of the cold moon, shining brilliantly on the drifts of the fresh-fallen snow, with the myriad sparkles. I talk to myself and look at the dark trees, blessed neutral. So much easier than facing people, than having to look happy, invulnerable, clever.

Stephen Chbosky

I don't know if you've ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years. Or just not exist. Or just not to be aware that you do exist. Or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That's why I'm trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning.

I just think you should know, that out of all, in all the world, you have my most favorite face.

How do you do it? How do you walk away and not feel guilty? How do you look right past me? How do you act as if nothing ever happened between us? How do you replace me and tell me, “That’s life, people come and go”? How do you expect me to be fine after everything you’ve said and done, after everything you didn’t say?

You know how every once in a while
you do something and the little voice
inside says,
"There. That's it. That's why you're
here."
...and you get a warm glow in your
heart because you know it's true?

Do more of that.

"Dracula" by Bram Stoker

There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights.

Books can be dangerous. The best ones should be labelled 'this could change your life.'

Barry Allen, The Flash

My social life consists of running at superhuman speed and Netflix.

“COMING OF AGE” by Natalie Wee

Children hold their breaths to prove
they can go without.
I practice the art of pushing away.
We are doing the same thing.
The space between intimacy
& drowning is closer than we think.
A little water is still an ocean.
Just a small one. Even in your mouth,
or perhaps especially then.
The undercurrent of every wave promises
goodbye. I do not trust a leaving thing
to come back the same
or at all.
To love– to hold the silt of salt water
on your tongue, the violent scrape of tides
dangling in the throat– is to be pillared
with reckless thrashing & call it
a beautiful thing.

"Wild Side" by Cross My Heart

But I've heard that good girls finish last
