borrowed words ;

The words may be borrowed, but the sentiment is all mine.

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 (via julie911)
You have to believe. Otherwise, it will never happen.
— Stardust by Neil Gaiman
He stared up at the stars: and it seemed to him then that they were dancers, stately and graceful, perfomrming a dance almost infinite in its complexity. He imagined he could see the very faces of the stars; pale, they were, and smiling gently, as if they had spent so much time above the world, watching the scrambling and the joy and the pain of the people below them, that they could not help being amused every time another little human believed itself the center of its world, as each of us does.

Is it possible for this woman to not be adorable?

I can’t when she talks about her mother, I look at mine and just think “Never die bitch, or I’ll kill you”

The sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite. Therefore love moderately: long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
— Romeo & Juliet by William Shakespeare
She made you decent, and in return you made her so happy, so happy, and I will always be grateful to you for that.
— Ian (Rafe Spall), One Day
You know when I said I knew little about love? That wasn’t true. I know a lot about love. I’ve seen it, centuries and centuries of it, and it was the only thing that made watching your world bearable. All those wars. Pain, lies, hate. It made me want to turn away and never look down again. But when I see the way that mankind loves. You could search to the furthest reaches of the universe and never find anything more beautiful. So yes, I know that love is unconditional. But I also know that it can be unpredictable, unexpected, uncontrollable, unbearable and strangely easy to mistake for loathing, and…what I’m trying to say, Tristan is…I think I love you. Is this love, Tristan? I never imagined I’d know it for myself. My heart. It feels like my chest can barely contain it. Like it’s trying to escape because it doesn’t belong to me any more. It belongs to you. And if you wanted it, I’d wish for nothing in exchange - no gifts. No goods. No demonstrations of devotion. Nothing but knowing you loved me too. Just your heart, in exchange for mine.
— Yvaine (Claire Danes), Stardust
What’s true in our minds, is true, whether some people know it or not.

What some folks call impossible, is just stuff they haven’t seen before.

“I know. I know my life was full of mistakes and there are so many things that I regret, and sometimes I just want to give up on everything. But when I see their faces, I feel like everything is worth it. I feel loved, I feel safe. I would die for them without even thinking.”

I can choose either to be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It’s all a question of how I view my life.

What is a teacher? I’ll tell you: it isn’t someone who teaches something, but someone who inspires the student to give of her best in order to discover what she already knows.
— The Witch Of Portobello by Paulo Coelho
Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
