“People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is “You’re safe with me”—that’s intimacy.”
— Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo (via wishfulromancing)
“Your naked body should only belong to those who fall in love with your naked soul.”
— Charlie Chaplin in a letter to his daughter, Geraldine
There is nothing prettier in the world than a girl in love with every breath she takes.
Atticus
Simple, genuine goodness is the best capital to found the business of this life upon. It lasts when fame and money fail, and is the only riches we can take out of this world with us.
(Louisa May Alcott)
The trees were very vain in the winter. They didn’t care that the world had grown cold and everyone’s life had become more difficult. Covered in white fur, they looked elegant. The snow highlighted the wild, beautiful shapes of their branches. As though they were wearing skimpy nightgowns on their wedding nights.
Heather O'Neill, excerpt from The Capital of Dreams
““I will find you,” he whispered in my ear. “I promise. If I must endure two hundred years of purgatory, two hundred years of without you-then that is my punishment, which I have earned for my crimes. For I have lied, and killed, and stolen; betrayed and broken trust. But there is the one thing that shall lie in the balance. When I shall stand before God, I shall have one thing to say, to weigh against the rest… Lord, ye gave me a rare woman, and God! I loved her well.””
