“The Universe is made of stories, not of atoms.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (via libraryland)
Mumford & Sons
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you’ve left behindBut I will hold on hope
And I won’t let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I’ll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I’ll know my name as it’s called again
Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I’ll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind
“No matter how difficult the past, you can always begin again today.”
—Buddha (via quote-book)
“It seems to me the only thing that matters, the only thing that’s even real, is the here and now. And some stuff is important and some stuff isn’t, and I guess time is the only thing that can sort out which is which. That just means, the more we live in the present, the more we store up all the memories, good and bad, the more we have to hold onto once people, places, and things are gone. Because believe me, I speak from experience when I say things can change forever with, like, no warning. So no matter how much you love something or no matter how much you take it for granted, nothing lasts forever. So for now, all we can do is hang on and wait and see and hope…for the future.”
— Claudia Salinger: Party Of Five (via jackiecoffin)
“Harry goes off into this magical world, and is it any better than the world he’s left? Only because he meets nicer people. Magic does not make his world better significantly. The relationships make his world better. Magic in many ways complicates his life.”
—J.K. Rowling (via laksjdhfg09)
“
Wizard: You want a heart. Well, you don’t know how lucky you are not to have one. Hearts will never be made practical until they can be made unbreakable.
Tin Man: Well, I…I still want one.
” —The Wizard of Oz (via waggishredboots)thoughts at two in the morning.
it makes me so very sad to see the people i love so much hurting.
it breaks my heart.
“Be happy. It’s one way of being wise.”
—Sidonie Gabrielle (via twolosties)
“Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.”
—Anne Herbert (via bookobsessed)
“See I’m trying to find my place, but it might not be here where I feel safe”

“Forgive me for my nonsense as I also forgive the nonsense of those who think they talk sense.”
—Robert Frost (via 500daysofkissingmypillow)
One should examine oneself for a very long time before thinking of condemning others.
