It is dreadful when something weighs on your mind, not to have a soul to unburden yourself to. You know what I mean. I tell my piano the things I used to tell you.
- Frederic Chopin (via unejeunedemoiselle)
Time was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on. I hope you never have to think about anything as much as I think about you.
- Jonathan Safran Foer (via suzywire)
If we listened to our intellect we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go in business because we’d be cynical: “It’s gonna go wrong.” Or “She’s going to hurt me.” Or,”I’ve had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore …” Well, that’s nonsense. You’re going to miss life. You’ve got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.
- Ray Bradbury (via misswallflower)
…one of the cruelest things you can do to another person is pretend you care about them more than you really do.
- Life After God by Douglas Coupland (via thechocolatebrigade)
You grieve. Then you continue with your life. And at times the fact of her absence will hit you like a blow to the chest, and you will weep. But this will happen less and less as time goes on.
- Neil Gaiman  (via beautyisanillusion)
When someone you love abandons you, it doesn’t hurt just because they’ve changed, or lied, or went back on their promises… but because you know what they really are and what a beautiful person they can be. And when they take that away from you and won’t allow you to see that beautiful person again, nothing hurts more than having someone just decide to take your entire world away without consulting you first.
Hearts may break, but hearts are the toughest of muscles, able to pump for a lifetime, seventy times a minute, and scarcely falter along the way. Even dreams, the most delicate and intangible of things, can prove remarkably difficult to kill.
- Neil Gaiman, Fragile Things (via hereiamthereyougo)
