I'm not going to censor myself to comfort your ignorance.

Richey Edwards

I have a very childlike rage, and a very childlike loneliness.

Charles Orlando

Dear Strong Women:
You aren't intimidating,
he is intimidated.
There's a difference.

Mark Ryden

I find it so much easier to be creatively free at night. Daytime is for sleeping. Nighttime is the best time for making art. The later at night it gets the further into antoher world you go.

"The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern

I would have written you, myself, if I could put down in words everything I want to say to you. A sea of ink would not be enough. But you built me dreams instead.

"We are hard" by Margaret Atwood

A truth should exist,
it should not be used
like this. If I love you
is that a fact or a weapon?

"Until We Go Down" by Ruelle

they told you you're a nobody
so you became the queen/king
now everyone knows your name

Neil Gaiman

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art – write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.

"Do Not Go Gentle Into That Goodnight" by Dylan Thomas

Do not go gentle
   into that good night.
Rage, rage against
   the dying of the light.

"Beekeeper" by Keaton Henson

You all say I've crossed a line,
But the sad fact is I've lost my mind

Cause I'm just getting started, let me offend
The devil's got nothing on me my friend
All I want is to be left alone

Being a gentleman is about respecting people. Treating your friends like family, keeping a cool head in moments of chaos, taking care of your partner. Prioritize your needs with others' needs, and tend to theirs as often as you can. Be sympathetic. Know what's going on in the world. Care. Don't strive to be an alpha male, just be you. And be you quietly. Don't tell people what a gentleman you are, lead by example.

"i am a woman" by A. J.

I will go to war in a red dress,
trample your ashes in high heels,
look for my lipstick stain on your collar
when I lean forwards not to kiss you,
but to whisper:
“I win.”

D. C. L.

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.

Tyler Kent White

Never apologize for burning too brightly or collapsing into yourself every night. That is how galaxies are made.

All she wanted was the effort she gave.

"I Am The Messenger" by Markus Zusak

Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.

"Wie ich" von Kraftclub

Die Leute sagen
"Bleib wie du bist"
aber nein tut mir leid,
vielleicht reicht mir das nicht.

"Keine Maschine" von Tim Bendzko

Ich bin ein Mensch,
mit all meinen Fehlern,
meiner Wut und der Euphorie.
Und keine Maschine,
ich lebe von Luft und Fantasie.

"Verflossene Liebe" von Casper

Was nützt mein Herz,
wenn deins nicht
mitschlägt
mitgeht
mitleidet
mitlebt
mitbebt?

"Veronal" von Marteria

Ich würde acht Tage durchtanzen,
würden sie mich lassen

I don't need therapy.
I need a hug.

"Bisschen mein Ding" von Samy Deluxe

Und auch wenn du es komisch findest, wie's klingt
Sag' ich dir, du bist schon so 'n bisschen mein Ding

"Teilchen & Beschleuniger" von Partisan

Den Kopf voller Meeresrauschen

L.W.

And suddenly, the monster in him falls silent as he rests his head on her lap.

"Journey" by Phaeleh

Serge Gainsbourg

J'aime la nuit, j'ai les idées plus claires dans le noir.

Franz Kafka

Ich glaube, man sollte überhaupt nur solche Bücher lesen, die einen beißen und stechen. Wenn das Buch, das wir lesen, uns nicht mit einem Faustschlag auf den Schädel weckt, wozu lesen wir dann das Buch? Damit es uns glücklich macht, wie Du schreibst? Mein Gott, glücklich wären wir eben auch, wenn wir keine Bücher hätten, und solche Bücher, die uns glücklich machen, könnten wir zur Not selber schreiben. Wir brauchen aber die Bücher, die auf uns wirken wie ein Unglück, das uns sehr schmerzt, wie der Tod eines, den wir lieber hatten als uns, wie wenn wir in Wälder verstoßen würden, von allen Menschen weg, wie ein Selbstmord, ein Buch muß die Axt sein für das gefrorene Meer in uns. Das glaube ich.

"Women" by Charles Bukowski

Oh, I don't mean you're handsome, not the way people think of handsome. Your face seems kind. But your eyes — they're beautiful. They're wild, crazy, like some animal peering out of a forest on fire.

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.

"If There’s A Way Out I’ll Take It" by Lora Mathis

I want to talk about
what happened
without mentioning
how much it hurt.
There has to be a way.
To care for the wounds
without reopening them.
To name the pain
without inviting it
back into me.

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 someone that can make me smile.

Di Riseborough

You only have so much emotional energy each day. Don't spend it on things that don't matter or on people who don't value you or your time. Be discerning.

I crave touch, yet I flinch every time someone is close enough.
