Marry someone who agrees that people sorted into Slytherin aren't evil.

Daniel Radcliffe

I spent like 10 years of my life pretending to fly around on a broomstick and you’re asking me if preparing for a love scene was ‘tricky’ because the other person also had a penis?

Why stress over someone that
won't even text to see if you're
alright?

Mark Twain

Jeder Mensch ist ein Mond und hat eine dunkle Seite,
die er niemandem zeigt.

Daya Bhuteshu

No matter in what life we start,
soulmate,
in the end i’ll still hold the end
of the red twine
to your
heart;
leading yours to mine.

to not forget myself
when the morning comes,
and
to not lose myself
when the night comes

Spencer Reid, Criminal Minds

Evil can't be scientifically defined. It's an illusory moral concept
that doesn't exist in nature.
Its origins and connotations have been
inextricably linked to religion and mythology.

Drake

Anytime you're afraid to try some new shit...
just remember,
amateurs built the ark,
professionals built the Titanic.

Henry Rollins

I don’t want people to matter to me too much. Sometimes it hurts too much to think about them. Ones you love who don’t love you, ones who are dead or hate you, ones who you think about but never get to be with. I like people but when I get too close, it fucks me up and I can’t get things done.

"Lurk" by The Neighbourhood

I want to be honest
I want to be bad
I want to destroy you
I want to move fast
I want the attention
I want all the cash
I want all the ass
Is it too much to ask?

I want to be faithful
I want to be raw
I want to be ignorant
I want to know it all
I want to die someday
I want to live long
I want what I ask for
I get what I want

Choose me or lose me. I'm not a back-up plan and definitely not a second choice.

You have to learn to say no without feeling guilty. Setting boundaries is healthy. Respecting and taking care of yourself are crucial in life.

Olivia Benson, Law & Order

Arousal does not mean consent.

I do not spew profanities. I enunciate them clearly, like a fucking lady.

vellichor

n.// the strange wistfulness of used bookstores, which are somehow infused with the passage of time—filled with thousands of old books you’ll never have time to read, each of which is itself locked in its own era, bound and dated and papered over like an old room the author abandoned years ago, a hidden annex littered with thoughts left just as they were on the day they were captured.

- The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrow

liberosis

n.// the desire to care less about things—to loosen your grip on your life, to stop glancing behind you every few steps, afraid that someone will snatch it from you before you reach the end zone—rather to hold your life loosely and playfully, like a volleyball, keeping it in the air, with only quick fleeting interventions, bouncing freely in the hands of trusted friends, always in play.

"Diary" by Chuck Palahniuk

It’s so hard to forget pain, but it’s even harder to remember sweetness. We have no scar to show for happiness. We learn so little from peace.

Date someone who will tap 

your butt playfully and do

the dishes with you after 

dinner.

Date someone who knows 

the power of running their 

hands through your hair.

Date someone who wants 

you to succeed as much as 

they want their own success.

Date someone who knows

how you take your coffee 

and what cheers you up.

Date someone who you can 

be independent from but still 

look forward to reuniting 

with.

"The Truth About Growing Up A Woman" by Michelle K.

As women, we are taught to be tiny. To have small bodies, to never be imposing. The ideal of our gender are thin and childlike, hairless and dainty. We are defined by our bodies; defined by our control over them. We are taught to obsess over our physicality and to be repulsed by our desires and intelligences.
We are taught to walk scared late at night. We cradle our keys between our perfectly manicured fingers, walking gracefully like a baby antelope in a herd of lions. That our virginity defines our character. That I am a frigid bitch if I do not fuck him, and a dirty slut if I do.

"100 Love Sonnets" by Pablo Neruda

I love you as
certain dark things
are to be loved,
in secret, between
the shadow and
the soul.

Reinhold Niebuhr

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Sirius Black, Harry Potter

I want you to listen to me very carefully, Harry. You’re not a bad person. You’re a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters. We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.

Nora Ephron

Whatever you choose, however many roads you travel, I hope that you choose not to be a lady. I hope you will find some way to break the rules and make a little trouble out there. And I also hope that you will choose to make some of that trouble on behalf of women.

Clara Oswald, Doctor Who

Listen. Listen. This is just a dream. But very clever people can hear dreams. So please, just listen. I know you're afraid. But being afraid is all right. Because didn't anybody ever tell you? Fear is a super power. Fear can make you faster, and cleverer, and stronger. And one day, you're going to come back to this barn, and on that day, you're going to be very afraid indeed. But that's okay. Because if you're very wise and very strong, fear doesn't have to make you cruel or cowardly. Fear can make you kind. It doesn't matter if there's nothing under the bed, or in the dark, so long as you know it's okay to be afraid of it. So listen. If you listen to nothing else, listen to this. You're always going to be afraid, even if you learn to hide it. Fear is like...a companion. A constant companion, always there. But that's okay, because fear can bring us together. Fear can bring you home. I'm going to leave you something, just so you'll always remember -- fear makes companions of us all.

"Ewige Sehnsucht" von Christian Morgenstern

Wenn Gott nicht die ewige Sehnsucht zweier Seelen zueinander ist –
wenn die Welt nicht der ewige Weg zu dieser zweier Sellen ist – so weiß ich
nicht, was Gott und Welt nicht bedeuten.

Spätsommer 1908

"Briefwechsel mit Dagny" von Christian Morgenstern

09. Mai 1899
Wenn ich Ihnen einen Wunsch zum Vermächtnis geben dürfte, so wäre es dieser:
Lernen Sie gross zu empfinden!

Pünktlichkeit

...ist die Kunst richtig abzuschätzen, um wie viel sich der andere verspäten wird.

A kaleidoscope of memories

I think... I think when it's all over it just comes back in flashes, you know? It's like a kaleidoscope of memories; it just all comes back. But he never does. I think part of me knew the second I saw him that this would happen. It's not really anything he said, or anything he did ― it was the feeling that came along with it. Crazy thing is, I don't know if I'm ever going to feel that way again. But I don't know if I should. I knew his world moved too fast and burned too bright, but I just thought, 'How can the devil be pulling you toward someone who looks so much like an angel when he smiles at you?' Maybe he knew that when he saw me. I guess I just lost my balance. I think that the worst part of it all wasn't losing him. It was losing me.

The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.

Abbey Lee Kershaw

I like people with depth, I like people with emotion, I like people with a strong mind, an interesting mind, a twisted mind, and also people that can make me smile.

Ivan Turgenev

We’re young, we’re not monsters, no fools: we’ll conquer happiness for ourselves.

"Fragen" von Erich Fried

Wie groß ist dein Leben?
Wie tief?
Was kostet es dich?
Bis wann zahlst du?
Wieviel Türen hat es?
Wie oft
hast du ein neues begonnen?

Warst du schon einmal
gezwungen um es zu laufen?
Wenn ja
bist du rundherum gelaufen
im Kreis oder hast du
Einbuchtungen mitgelaufen?
Was dachtest du dir dabei?

Woran erkanntest du
daß du ganz herum warst?
Bist du mehrmals gelaufen?
War das dritte Mal
wie das zweite?

Würdest du lieber
die Strecke im Wagen fahren?
oder gefahren werden?
in welcher Richtung?
Von wem?

"Frau Welt" von Erich Fried

Ich bin
zur Welt gekommen
und bin nun endlich
so weit
laut zu fragen
wie ich dazukomme
zu ihr zu kommen

Sie kommt
und sagt leise:
Du kommst nicht
du bist schon im Gehen

"Was es ist" von Erich Fried

Es ist Unsinn
sagt die Vernunft
Es ist was es ist
sagt die Liebe

Es ist Unglück
sagt die Berechnung
Es ist nichts als Schmerz
sagt die Angst
Es ist aussichtslos
sagt die Einsicht
Es ist was es ist
sagt die Liebe

Es ist lächerlich
sagt der Stolz
Es ist leichtsinnig
sagt die Vorsicht
Es ist unmöglich
sagt die Erfahrung
Es ist was es ist
sagt die Liebe
