"It's never too late to become what you might have been."

"You never know how things are going to turn out. You almost know, but you can never be quite sure."

~Away from Her

All has been translated into treasure:

Weightless as amber,

Translucent as the currant on the branch,

Dark as the rose's thorn.

Where is the shimmer of evil?

This is the shell's iridescence

And the wild bird's wing.

Ignorant, I took up my burden in the wilderness,

Wise with great wisdom, I shall lay it down upon flowers.

~Louise Bogan "After the Persian"

"Never say good-bye because good-bye means going away and going away means forgetting."

~Peter Pan

"And so it turned out that only a life similar to the life of those around us, merging with it without a ripple, is a genuine life, and that an unshared happiness is not happiness..."

~Into the Wild

"Love? Love is like oxygen. Love is a many splendid thing. Love lifts us up where we belong. All you need is love."

~Mulan Rouge

"The sun can set and rise again,

But for us when our short day is finished

We must sleep forever."

~Anonymous

"My dear, here we must run as fast as we can, just to stay in place. And if you wish to go anywhere you must run twice as fast as that."

~Alice in Wonderland

"It hurts so much to say good-bye because we had to do this million times in former lives. And I know I have spent every life before this one searching for you. Not someone like you, but you, for your soul and mine must always come together. The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected."

~The Notebook

"The only people for me are the mad one, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..."

~Jack Kerouac

"I am in love with words.

Words that touch.

They may hurt, but they touch.

That's what counts."

~From Loveology

Photos from here.

With the exception of the last photo, which is from Teabag Stains, which she drew herself.

For the past few days, I couldn't seem to stop watching this scene from Breakfast at Tiffany's. I just think it is so incredibly beautiful. I can't quite get it out of my head. It truly is my favorite scene in the entire movie. Every time I see it, it never ceases to inspire me. I hope it inspires you, too.

Hello there! I just wanted to say that I am so utterly happy at the amount of support all you people out there have been putting into my blog. Just shy of one month old, I have already gotten two awards and a feature in a blog! To me, that means so, so much. That this blog, so young has already gotten so much recognition. No words could express my gratitude to you. Thank you again!
