There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable.
C.S. Lewis | via feerawr-me (via quote-book)
Sometimes it’s a bitch, sometimes it’s a breeze
Sometimes love’s blind and sometimes it sees
Sometimes it’s roses and sometimes it’s weeds
Sometime’s it’s a bitch, sometimes it’s a breeze.
Stevie Nicks
I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me, but it’s hard to stay mad when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst, and then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain, and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid, little life… You have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m sure, but don’t worry… You will someday.
~American Beauty. (via igniteyyourbones)
I see now that the circumstances of one’s birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are.
Mewtwo, Pokemon: The First Movie (1999)
Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.
Albert Einstein 
And for a moment, I understand that I have friends on this lonely path; that sometimes your place is not something you find, but something you have when you need it.
Rebel Angels, Libba Bray (via fuckyeahliteraryquotes)
