We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same.
Carlos Castaneda (via brittanyroselovesyou)
I’m very fond of walking.
- Pride and Prejudice (2005)
Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.
C. S. Lewis (via shesaloverofchrist)

I have always been a reader; I have read at every stage of my life, and there has never been a time when reading was not my greatest joy.
The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield (via allshallfade)
People disappear when they die. Their voice, their laughter, the warmth of their breath. Their flesh. Eventually their bones. All living memory of them ceases. This is both dreadful and natural. Yet for some there is an exception to this annihilation. For in the books they write they continue to exist. We can rediscover them. Their humor, their tone of voice, their moods. Through the written word they can anger you or make you happy. They can comfort you. They can perplex you. They can alter you. All this, even though they are dead. Like flies in amber, like corpses frozen in the ice, that which according to the laws of nature should pass away is, by the miracle of ink on paper, preserved. It is a kind of magic.
Diane Setterfield, The Thirteenth Tale (via anexcellentlibrary)
No matter how sick she is or how bad she’s looking at the moment, you still see her as the most beautiful person in the world. And if you’re really in love, you don’t care about all the other girls that are standing in line for you. You don’t want another night with any person. You just want her.
- Bill Kaulitz
You can love a person dear to you with a human love, but an enemy can only be loved with divine love.
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace (via thesearepeopleyouknow)
“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.”
― Audrey Hepburn

“She remembered one of her boyfriends asking, offhandedly, how many books she read in a year. “A few hundred,” she said. “How do you have the time?” he asked, gobsmacked. She narrowed her eyes and considered the array of potential answers in front of her. Because I don’t spend hours flipping through cable complaining there’s nothing on? Because my entire Sunday is not eaten up with pre-game, in-game, and post-game talking heads? Because when I am waiting in line, at the gym, on the train, eating lunch, I am not complaining about the wait/staring into space/admiring myself in reflective surfaces?
