“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
— Albert Einstein (via justbesplendid)
“Do not lose hope — what you seek will be found. Trust ghosts. Trust those that you have helped to help you in their turn. Trust dreams. Trust your heart, and trust your story”
— Neil Gaiman (via justbesplendid)
Should I go blonde?
“Boys and girls in America have such a sad time together; sophistication demands that they submit to sex immediately without proper preliminary talk. Not courting talk - real straight talk about souls, for life is holy and every moment is precious.”

“Life is a question mark now.”
—Dry by Augusten Burroughs (via thechocolatebrigade)
“The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential to turn a life around. It’s overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt.”
—Leo F. Buscaglia (via julie911) (via quote-book)
“I don’t know if you’ve ever noticed this, but first impressions are often entirely wrong. You can look at a painting for the first time, for example, and not like it at all, but after looking at it a little longer you may find it very pleasing…Your initial opinion on just about anything may change over time.”
— A Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket (via quote-book)
“I cannot write to anyone outside myself—if I tried, it would be a horrible story, flat and lifeless. I write to myself. That’s the only person I’m trying to please.”
—Shannon Hale (via thresca) (via quote-book)
