Introverts Are Actually A Lot Like Clark Kent–mild And Unassuming Much Of The Time, But Able To Swoop

Make a radical change in your lifestyle and begin to boldly do things which you may previously never have thought of doing, or been too hesitant to attempt. So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservation, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun. If you want to get more out of life, you must lose your inclination for monotonous security and adopt a helter-skelter style of life that will at first appear to you to be crazy. But once you become accustomed to such a life you will see its full meaning and its incredible beauty.

I cannot wait to publish the chapters of my fic that give these vibes. Currently wishing I could just mass upload the whole thing.

Scorpius: This is my gran, Narcissa.

Rose: Pleasure.

Narcissa: Well, hello there!

Narcissa: Now, do you prefer being called Rose or Satan's Mistress? Because we've heard it both ways.

“pro: a solid start to ending all rights” damn they aren’t pulling punches

There's so many fics of Scorpius Malfoy, and one thing I find the most amusing is that fanfic portrays him to be this confident, badass, ladies man, but Scorpius is actually a whole cinnamon roll who couldn't hurt a fly.

Noble deeds and hot baths are the best cures for depression.

Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic and fear which is inherent in a human situation.

Graham Greene, Ways Of Escape (via the-book-diaries)

walburga: you’re not good enough for my son

remus: you’re not good enough for your son

walburga: excuse me?

remus: you heard me.

Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe.

Neil Gaiman, The Sandman (via the-book-diaries)
