Growing old is like climbing a mountain - the higher you get, the more you realize you should quit climbing mountains.

[introspect1998]

I don't want to be a phase

A leaf in each season

An eye with no vision

A wind that has gone

A king without a throne

A drop of water that falls and soon dries

A hurricane which comes and swiftly passes by

A day won't return

A fire that no longer burns

A gaze no more amazes

Above all, I don't want to be a phase.

I think if the devil doesn't exist, then man has created him. He has created him in his own image and likeness.

Crying.

You might be wondering what triggers our particular enthusiasm for sobbing today. Well, there we were, minding our collective business, browsing away as per, when we came across this absolutely devasting (good devastate) reblog thread.

Dear Reader, we are in pieces (good pieces.)

And remember, folks, not all tears are an evil x

Life is like a box of chocolates. You're either lactose intolerant or end up with diabetes.

Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.

~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Manon, Ballerina

[thepersonalquotes]

I exist not to be loved and admired, but to love and act. It is not the duty of those around me to love me. Rather, it is my duty to be concerned about the world, about man.

Janusz Korczak

Fire of Love (Sara Dosa, 2022)    

[intellectualpoaching]

People talk sometimes of bestial cruelty, but that is a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as man, so artistically cruel. The tiger only tears and gnaws, that's all he can do. He would never think of nailing people by the ears, even if he were able to do it.

Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

[primroselilac]

I realized that I am always in love, but never loved.

Angels are everywhere. Transmission towers. Telephone poles. Cable cars. Trains. Road tunnels. Computers and Supercomputers. Synthesisers. Circuit boards. Robots and AI.

We are the gods and these are our angels.
