ZITATE. Sprüche, Redewendungen, Textauszüge, Liedtexte, Kurzfilme, Tanzvideos, Lieder, etc.: mir sind irgendwann die Post-Its und Notizbücher ausgegangen. Lumen [lat.] = Licht. Noctivagum [lat.] = nachts umherschweifend, bei Nacht umherziehend. Der Blogtitel ist vor Jahren in einem Gespräch mit meiner besten Freundin entstanden. Das Hintergrundbild ist von mir. Sofern nicht anderweitig genannt, zählen Zitate ohne Referenz zu "Unbekannt". ~Fiete, on hiatus

John Lennon
I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?

"Clockwork Angel" by Cassandra Clare
Whatever you are physically...male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--
all those things matter less than what your heart contains.
If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior.
All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp,
but you are the light inside.
–Jem Carstairs

"Kafka on the Shore" by Haruki Murakami
Nobody can help you. That's what love's all about... You're the one having these wonderful feelings, but you have to go it alone as you wander through the dark. Your mind and body have to bear it all. All by yourself.
"The Blue Octavo Notebooks" by Franz Kafka
The man in ecstasy and the man drowning–both throw up their arms.

"Truth Is a Beautiful Thing" by London Grammar
To hold your heart, to hold your hand
Would be to me, the greatest thing
To hold your heart, hold your hand
Would be to me, the bravest thing
I wear another thought of you
With so much harm my gift to you
Hide you somewhere they don't know
Deep in my core you know you have a throne
Would be to me, the greatest thing
To hold your heart, hold your hand
Would be to me, the bravest thing
With so much harm my gift to you
Hide you somewhere they don't know
Deep in my core you know you have a throne
Newt Scamander, Phantastische Tierwesen (2016)
Es ist meine Überzeugung, dass wer sich sorgt zwei Mal leidet.

"Be Nobody's Darling" by Alice Walker
Be nobody's darling;
Be an outcast.
Take the contradictions
Of your life
And wrap around
You like a shawl,
To parry stones
To keep you warm.
Watch the people succumb
To madness
With ample cheer;
Let them look askance at you
And you askance reply.
Be an outcast;
Be pleased to walk alone
(Uncool)
Or line the crowded
River beds
With other impetuous
Fools.
Make a merry gathering
On the bank
Where thousands perished
For brave hurt words
They said.
But be nobody's darling;
Be an outcast.
Qualified to live
Among your dead.
Be an outcast.
Take the contradictions
Of your life
And wrap around
You like a shawl,
To parry stones
To keep you warm.
Watch the people succumb
To madness
With ample cheer;
Let them look askance at you
And you askance reply.
Be an outcast;
Be pleased to walk alone
(Uncool)
Or line the crowded
River beds
With other impetuous
Fools.
Make a merry gathering
On the bank
Where thousands perished
For brave hurt words
They said.
But be nobody's darling;
Be an outcast.
Qualified to live
Among your dead.

“Maybe” by Igor Oro
As I stand on the street corner and watch these two roads meet, I suddenly feel at peace.
Maybe it's because at my feet lies the intersection of two distinct paths
merging at a point of vulnerability.
Maybe it's because it's a reminder of you and me, and the blissful bond we both shared.
Without a care in the world,
my arms wrapped around you to shelter you from the cold.
Two souls kept warm by each other's company.
Two hearts dancing in the rain playfully.
Two minds with the same thing in mind.
You want me to be yours and
I want you to be mine.
I don't know, maybe I'm crazy.
Maybe time has finally outplayed me.
Maybe I've stopped seeing beauty in the little things.
Maybe I've stopped appreciating the gift life brings.
Maybe I'm in over my head.
Or maybe I just miss the familiar contours of your body under the chalk white sheets of my bed.
I don't know, maybe this is normal?
Maybe I stopped being myself after you left.
Maybe this is all a test.
Maybe I failed and I couldn't clean up the mess.
Maybe that's why the rain suddenly feels colder on my skin.
Maybe that's why whenever I try to apologize I don't know where to begin or where to end. All these things I've typed up in my mind and I wanna tell you but I just can't bring myself to hit send.
Maybe I fucked up and I won't admit it.
Maybe I'm a coward.
Seems like I've got all the time in the world, maybe I should do something about it. I mean, every minute without you feels like an hour.
Maybe I'm a fool for distancing myself from you.
Maybe that's why I couldn't admit that I loved you,
because for some reason,
I couldn't except that maybe,
just maybe,

"The Laughing Heart" by Charles Bukowski
your life is your life
don't let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch.
there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.
be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them.
take them.
you can't beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight
in you.

"Veronika Decides to Die" by Paulo Coelho
Stop thinking all the time that you’re in the way, that you’re bothering the person next to you. If people don't like it, they can complain. And if they don’t have courage to complain, that’s their problem.
F. Scott Fitzgerald
For what it's worth... it's never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you've never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you're not, I hope you have the courage to start over again.

"Birth" by Thirty Seconds To Mars
I will save you from yourself
Time will change everything about this hell
Are you lost? Can't find yourself?
You're north of heaven
Time will change everything about this hell
Are you lost? Can't find yourself?
You're north of heaven
Maybe somewhere west of hell

"Parachute" by Jaymes Young
Sweetness
I can read your mind.
I see your skin turn red
When you lie.
If you don't wanna tell me nothing
Then you can go straight to hell.
Now I'm gonna tell you something
you fucked this up yourself.
I'm pullin' out my parachute
And I'm jumping from the plane we flew.
First I'm gonna tell the truth
But then I'm burning my bridge to you.
[...]
Don't lie
You're lying through your teeth.
And don't try to touch me
I'm afraid of your disease.
I can read your mind.
I see your skin turn red
When you lie.
If you don't wanna tell me nothing
Then you can go straight to hell.
Now I'm gonna tell you something
you fucked this up yourself.
I'm pullin' out my parachute
And I'm jumping from the plane we flew.
First I'm gonna tell the truth
But then I'm burning my bridge to you.
[...]
Don't lie
You're lying through your teeth.
And don't try to touch me
I'm afraid of your disease.
"One Last Time" by Jaymes Young
Could I feel your skin on mine
Before I have to say goodbye
Could I breathe, please, one last time
You in my lungs before I curl up
And die
All my world is losin' light
Before I have to say goodbye
Could I breathe, please, one last time
You in my lungs before I curl up
And die
All my world is losin' light
