“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”
—Socrates (via quote-book)
“Ideas not coupled with action never become bigger than the brain cells they occupied.”
—Arnold H. Glasow (via quote-book)
“I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one… Humans are caught - in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too - in a net of good and evil… there is no other story.”
—John Steinbeck, East of Eden

“I love you’ means that I accept you for the person that you are, and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you even when you’re in a bad mood, or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you’re down, not just when you’re fun to be with. ‘I love you’ means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let go. It means thinking of you, dreaming of you, wanting and needing you constantly, and hoping you feel the same about me.”
—Jonathan Safran Foer (via neverstopbelievingitspossible)
