E. E. Cummings

A bouquet of clumsy words: you know that place between sleep and awake where you’re still dreaming but it’s slowly slipping? I wish we could feel like that more often. I also wish I could click my fingers three times and be transported to anywhere I like. I wish that people didn’t always say ‘just wondering’ when you both know there was a real reason behind them asking. And I wish I could get lost in the stars. Listen, there’s a hell of a good universe next door, let’s go.

Charles Bukowski

Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you
think, I’m not going to make it, but you laugh inside —
remembering all the times you’ve felt that way.

Ernest Hemingway

We would be together and have our books and at night be warm in bed together with the windows open and the stars bright.

"Shadows on the Sand" by Gayle Roper

Find a woman who makes you feel more alive. She won’t make life perfect but she’ll make it infinitely more interesting. And then love her with all that’s in you.

Lao Tzu

Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.

Khalil Gibran

Die Schönheit offenbahrt sich denjenigen,
die betrachten.

Steve Maraboli

I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, to help them reveal the greatest version of himself.

Vincent Van Gogh

I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day.

Robert Tew

Whatever makes my soul feel good in 2016, that’s what I’m chasing.

Konfuzius

Wohin du auch gehst,
geh mit deinem ganzen Herzen.

Bill Bernbach

An idea can turn to dust or magic,
depending on the talent that rubs against it.

Simon Van Booy

For those who are lost, there will always be cities that feel like home.

"a poem written by someone too bland to be immortalized in blood or ink." by (r.a.)

Poets write about about beauty,
they write about flaws and eccentricities,
and sunlight filtering through golden hair.
It’s ridiculous; it’s laughable -
what is beauty in the modern age?

When I went to the Louvre there was an entire room -
an entire room! -
full of newspaper covered in ink.
It was art and people stood too closely to it,
‘ooh’d’ and ‘ahh’d’ because they thought they were supposed to.

I don’t think I want to be something beautiful,
something comparable to newspaper clippings
dip-dyed in black ink, looking like the leftovers
of some toddler’s craft.

I want to be loved, I want to be fierce;
I want fire in my veins and ash on my lips,
but I don’t want to be poetry.

I want you in my arms, and attached to my lips.

Sometimes I tell myself
I'm okay.
I repeat it, like a mantra.
I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay, I'm okay.
Because I'm afraid
if I stop, even for a moment,
I will drown in all the reasons I am not.

You can break my soul
take my life away
beat me, hurt me, kill me
but for the love of God
don't touch
her/ him

You got me so high
I can finally breathe

Stephen Hawking

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Be curious.

Accept the fact that you are not perfect and see how much easier it is to breathe.

MTV Teen Wolf, Motel California

Scott: It all started that night, the night I got bitten. Do you remember the way it was before that? You and me, we were... we were... we were nothing. We weren't popular. We weren't good at lacrosse. We weren't important. We were no one. Maybe I should just be no one again. No one at all.

Stiles: Scott, just listen to me, okay? You're not no one. Okay? You're someone, you're... Scott, you're my best friend. Okay? And I need you. Scott, you're my brother. All right, so... so if you're gonna do this, then... I think you're just gonna have to take me with you.

"A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket

It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. It's like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down through the air and there's a sickly moment of dark surprise.

Brigitte Nicole

One of the most courageous decisions you will ever make is to finally let go of whatever is hurting your heart and soul.

Igor Henrique

I'm so good at sleeping.

r.m. drake

loving me will not be easy.
it will be war. you will
hold the gun and i will hand
you the bullets. so breathe,
and embrace the beauty of
the massacre that lies ahead.

Stephan Labossiere

Some people don't realize what they have until it's gone, but hat does not always mean they are supposed to get it back.

Coco Chanel

I don't care what you think about me. I
don't think about you at all.

Dalai Lama

He said, "There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called yesterday and the other is called tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live."

"The Ice Palace and Other Stories" by F. Scott Fitzgerald

I'm not sure what I'll do - well, I want to go to places and see people.

Rae, My Mad Fat Diary

There are times when I can’t stop speaking, when a million words leave my mouth in a matter of seconds… a million words that mean nothing… but when I want to find some words that mean everything, I just can’t speak. Like: I miss you. Like: I love you. Like: My world is falling apart and I need you by my side.

John Green

So often we try to make other people feel better by minimizing their pain, by telling them that it will get better (which it will) or that there are worse things in the world (which there are). But that’s not what I actually needed. What I actually needed was for someone to tell me that it hurt because it mattered. I have found this very useful to think about over the years, and I find that it is a lot easier and more bearable to be sad when you aren’t constantly berating yourself for being sad.

Joss Whedon

When I say, “I love you,” it’s not because I want you or because I can’t have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I’ve seen your kindness and your strength. I’ve seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are.

I am like the winter,
cold, lonely and dead on the inside,
strong winds warp my thoughts
and I feel like I can't breathe.

You are like the summer,
warm, beautiful and bright.
You're the sun that slowly rises
and calms the storm inside my head.

Robin Williams

I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy
because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless
and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that.

"Could Have" by Wislawa Szymborska

It could have happened.
It had to happen.
It happened earlier. Later.
Nearer. Farther off.
It happened, but not to you.
You were saved because you were the first.
You were saved because you were the last.
Alone. With others.
On the right. The left.
Because it was raining. Because of the shade.
Because the day was sunny.

You were in luck -- there was a forest.
You were in luck -- there were no trees.
You were in luck -- a rake, a hook, a beam, a brake,
A jamb, a turn, a quarter-inch, an instant . . .

So you're here? Still dizzy from
another dodge, close shave, reprieve?
One hole in the net and you slipped through?
I couldn't be more shocked or
speechless.
Listen,
how your heart pounds inside me.
