Some Hatê The Fact That We Are The Original 👏, Yes We They Are:

“They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.”

— Kahlil Gibran (via goodreadss)

“Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I’m one of them.”

— Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine (via goodreadss)

Daily reminder!

“Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am, and what I need, is something I have to find out myself.”

— Chinua Achebe (via amargedom)

““You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting – over and over announcing your place in the family of things.””

— Mary Oliver (via amargedom)
