And then, for the millionth time in the history of feeling, the heart surges and absorbs the impact. -Nicole Krauss

• Somewhere someone is thinking of you. Someone is calling you an angel. This person is using celestial colors to paint your image. Someone is making you into a vision so beautiful that it can only live in the mind. Someone is thinking of the way your breath escapes your lips when you are touched. How your eyes close and your jaw tightens with concentration as you give pleasure a home. These thoughts are saving a life somewhere right now. In some airless apartment on a dark, urine stained, whore lined street, someone is calling out to you silently and you are answering without even being there. So crystalline. So pure. Such life saving power when you smile. You will never know how you have cauterized my wounds. So sad that we will never touch.

• People or stars regard me sadly, I disappoint them.
• The biggest obstacles in our lives are the barriers our mind creates.
• Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don’t need. We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives.

And we’re very, very pissed off.

You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it’s already happened. -Douglas Coupland
• You know when you’re singing along with this song, and you know all the words cause you really love it.

Well, that’s what love is.
• There are still a few men who love desperately. -J.D. Salinger
• Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry. -J.D. Salinger
• I don’t even know what I was running for - I guess I just felt like it. -J.D. Salinger

• Sometimes, I read a book, and I think I'm the people in the book. -Perks of Being a Wallflower

• The sadness will last forever. -Vincent van Gogh's suicide note
• When you have a good heart in front of you, protect it, cherish it, and don’t take it for granted. You’ll never be perfect, but people don’t want perfect, they want effort.

Thousands, maybe. -Neil Gaiman
• Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
• I think we like to complicate things when it is really quote simple; find what it is that makes you happy and who it is that makes you happy and you're set. Promise.
• In bed that night I invented a special drain that would be underneath every pillow in New York, and would connect to the reservoir. Whenever people cried themselves to sleep, the tears would all go to the same place, and in the morning the weatherman could report if the water level of the Reservoir of Tears had gone up or down, and you could know if New York is in heavy boots. -Oskar Schell

• The only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more. -Christopher Hitchens
• The wonderful thing about falling in love is that you learn everything about that person so quickly. And if it’s true love, then you start to see yourself through their eyes and it brings out the best in you. It’s almost like you are falling in love with yourself.

Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others. -William Lyon Phelps
• We lose ourselves in the things we love. We find ourselves there, too.
• Then all of a sudden, something very spooky started happening. Every time I came to the end of a block and stepped off the goddam curb, I had this feeling that I’d never get to the other side of the street. I thought I’d just go down, down, down, and nobody’d ever see me again. Boy, did it scare me. You can’t imagine. -J.D. Salinger
• The older we get the better we used to be.
• The most important thing in all human relationships is conversation, but people don’t talk anymore, they don’t sit down to talk and listen.

• He who is not busy being born, is busy dying. -Bob Dylan

• It's alright, love, you're in good hands.
• The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create. -Chuck Palahniuk

• I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited. -Sylvia Plath
• I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time. -Banksy
• Not just beautiful, though — the stars are like the trees in the forest, alive and breathing. And they’re watching me. What I’ve up till now, what I’m going to do — they know it all. Nothing gets past their watchful eyes. As I sit there under the shining night sky, again a violent fear takes hold of me. My heart’s pounding a mile a minute, and I can barely breathe. All these millions of stars looking down on me, and I’ve never given them more than a passing thought before.

And I know I’ll never outrun that awful feeling. -Haruki Murakami

• This is for the people I’ll never meet. This is for the person who I might have kissed had I taken a different subway line on Saturday and the person I might have been if that boy hadn’t broken my mother’s teenage heart. This is for the people I would’ve loved if last winter hadn’t been so cold and for the city I would’ve called home if I had written haikus on napkins and carried pens in dress pockets and in the knots of my hair. This is for who I was, who I am, who I might be. This is for you. -Camryn Pulaski Day
• The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. -William A. Ward
• I realized I need you and I wonder if you could come home.
• When you don’t know what you believe, everything becomes an argument. Everything is debatable. But when you stand for something, decisions are obvious. -Jason Fried
