Summer is only the unfulfilled promise of spring, a charlatan in place of the warm balmy nights I dream of in April. It’s a sad season of life without growth…It has no day.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise
When you leave,
weary of me,
without a word I shall gently let you go.
Kim Sowol
Have you ever lost someone you love and wanted one more conversation, one more chance to make up for the time when you thought they would be here forever? If so, then you know you can go your whole life collecting days, and none will outweigh the one you wish you had back.
Mitch Albom,For One More Day
Your mind will believe comforting lies while also knowing the painful truths that make those lies necessary. And your mind will punish you for believing both.
Patrick Ness,A Monster Calls
We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
N. H. Kleinbaum,Dead Poets Society
I don’t know what’s worse: to not know what you are and be happy, or to become what you’ve always wanted to be, and feel alone.
Daniel Keyes,Flowers for Algernon
There is a luxury in self-reproach. When we blame ourselves, we feel that no one else has a right to blame us. It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.
Oscar Wilde,The Picture of Dorian Gray
The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense.
Jane Austen,Pride & Prejudice

Now now, would you take a look at these masterpieces
he’s in your dms, but he’s buying books for me, we’re not the same.
it’s always cutting mangos in tiny slices or peeling bananas for them so they won’t have to, but what about combining those two fruits and making a smoothie for them?
book buying and simply strolling through a bookstore, exploring and touching your favourite books and having a faint thought of maybe buying them but realising you’re broke are two entirely different things.
it’s always the ones who want you the most not doing anything to win you.
If you think you can find a funnier girl, you’re delusional.
God why must you waste clear skin on ungrateful men that don’t even use expensive face masks to protect it?????
blocked him on everything, but now i miss him :[
If only life were like a Jane Austen novel, so instead of getting married to a guy who owns my house, i’d marry someone who could buy five of em’
