Rothirsch - Red Deer - Cervus Elaphus By Olaf Kerber

The Secret Garden (1993)

There must be something strangely sacred in salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.

Khalil Gibran (via quotemadness)

“My brother used to ask the birds to forgive him; that sounds senseless but it is right; for all is like the ocean, all things flow and touch each other; a disturbance in one place is felt at the other end of the world.”

— Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

i hardened under the last loss. it took something human out of me. i used to be so deeply emotional i’d crumble on demand. but now the water has made its exit. of course i care about the ones around me. i’m just struggling to show it. a wall is getting in the way. i used to dream of being so strong nothing could shake me. now. i am. so strong. that nothing shakes me. and all i dream is to soften.

- Rupi Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers

Do you love me enough that I may be weak with you?

Alain de Botton (via quotemadness)

I was born very far from where I’m supposed to be so I’m on my way home.

Bob Dylan (via wnq-music)

I swear by the moon I am most melancholy soft, and most outrageous sentimental.
