I can’t stand it to think my life is going so fast and I’m not really living it.

—The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway (via alighthouseofwords)

I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.

— John Green, The Fault in Our Stars (via loveinhaste)

Hope does not die like an animal - quick and sudden. It is more like a plant, which slowly withers away.

—Jamil Ahmad, in The Wandering Falcon (via ecouter-bien)

Friendships begin because, even without words, we understand how someone feels.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.

—Gilda Radner
