"Wasn’t it better if they kept this desire to see each other hidden within them, and never actually got together? That way, there would always be hope in their hearts. That hope would be a small, yet vital flame that warmed them to their core-a tiny flame to cup one’s hands around and protect from the wind, a flame that the violent winds of reality might easily extinguish."
1Q84, Haruki Murakami (via budddha)(Source: thecaffeinated, via budddha)
"We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit."
E.E. Cummings (via arightontimeconscience)
"Scream. Scream in front of a mirror or something."
Charles Bukowski, from Selected Letters Vol. 4 (via violentwavesofemotion)
"Don’t let your ensemble upstage your professional persona"
Nina Garcia (via fashionninag)(via africanexistence)
