Me Talking To A Man: I Know. I Know. Yeah I Know. I Know. I’m Aware. Yes I Already Know That

I am eternally, devastatingly romantic, and I thought people would see it because “romantic” doesn’t mean “sugary”. It’s dark and tormented — the furor of passion, the despair of an idealism that you can’t attain.

Catherine Breillat  (via mermaidveins)

In every life there are events that reshape one’s sense of existence. Afterward, all is different and the past is dimmed.

“What is it that the child has to teach?

The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness. The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not.

And the child is right.”

— Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

“Become like the rose and live silently: If you have to speak, utter nothing but fragrance.”
