“Going to another country doesn’t make any difference. I’ve tried all that. You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another. There’s nothing to that.”
—Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises (via knockturn)
“Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.”
—Alan Cohen (via littlealbatross)
“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”
—Abraham Lincoln (via meggielynne)
”..The way things get left behind, the way things get out of you…People, things, places they can just wash away and what’s left is a sense of peacefulness and the feeling that we’re all alone and that’s okay, and that that’s a relief too. It’s a relief to know that the wind will blow us away leaving nothing not even a trace. It’s good to be nothing and It’s good to have nothing. If only we wanted nothing while we were here” - Rodrigo García
“You call yourself a free spirit, a “wild thing,” and you’re terrified somebody’s gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you’re already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it’s not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas or in the east by Somali-land. It’s wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself.”
—Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s (via air-light-time-space)
