There is no respect between the souls of two individuals if their minds can’t trust each other and there is no trust between them if their hearts can’t accept the truth of each other.

Anuj Somany  (via wordsnquotes)

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.

Philip K. Dick, I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon (via wordsnquotes)

[maraudeli]

Let’s try to keep this simple because I hate having to write such long things about you. The thing with you is that you’re arrogant and ever since you’ve entered my life, it’s been chaotic like hell but you are also the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The way you try to act cool and pretend like you hate me, you’re my ‘once in a lifetime kinda love’ and I don’t know what I’d do without you.

Sometimes you’ve got to move on. Not particularly because you want to, or because the feelings just aren’t there anymore. Sometimes you’ve got to do it for yourself, because you deserve better than moping over and craving the presence of someone who simply doesn’t feel the same way. You can’t waste the best years on your life, trying to love someone, who plain and simply, doesn’t love you back.

Because saving the people you love isn’t stupid. It isn’t even a choice.

The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it…

Nicholas Sparks, At First Sight (via wordsnquotes)

[maraudeli]

Don’t be upset that you can’t attain constant happiness. It’s the quickest way to feel like a failure in life. If each of our lives represented a page in a book, happiness would be the punctuation. It breaks up the parts that are too long. It closes off some things, divides others. But it’s brief—showing up when it’s needed and filling tired paragraphs with breaks.

Tarryn Fisher, F*ck Love (via wordsnquotes)

[maraudeli]

You are the only person who can build emotional barriers, but you’re also the only person who can topple them. Other people can’t knock down the walls you’ve built, no matter how much they love you. You have to tear them down yourself because there’s something worth seeing on the other side.

Emery Lord, Open Road Summer (via wordsnquotes)

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t letting go but rather learning to start over.

Nicole Sobon, Program 13 (via wordsnquotes)

[maraudeli]

I am afraid. Not of life, or death, or nothingness, but of wasting it as if I had never been.

Daniel Keyes, Flowers for Algernon (via wordsnquotes)

[maraudeli]

I have fought against it, but I can’t any longer.

Virginia Woolf, from The Complete Works of Virginia Woolf; Selected Letters (via violentwavesofemotion)

She felt very young; at the same time unspeakably aged.

Virginia Woolf (via girlinlondon)

[maraudeli]

I need solitude. I need space. I need air. I need the empty fields round me; and my legs pounding along roads; and sleep; and animal existence.

Virginia Woolf, The Diary of Virginia Woolf (via wordsnquotes)

[maraudeli]

I’ve learned, that If you let someone know you are listening to them when they speak, like really listening, and not just being polite or waiting for your turn to speak or just trying to pass time…you might reach a second introduction. You might meet a completely different part of that person. Not the parts that have been crafted for regular conversations. Not the parts crafted for small talk at parties or job interviews or anything like that. You meet the parts that a lot of people don’t know exist until years and years pass. Sometimes, It’s not about building a long relationship. It’s about giving your attention fully to someone. Allowing someone to be listened to without judgement or interruption.

We’re meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us?
