“I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.”

- Shana Abé-

“This is an important lesson to remember when you’re having a bad day, a bad month, or a shitty year. Things will change: you won’t feel this way forever. And anyway, sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most. I believe you can’t feel real joy unless you’ve felt heartache. You can’t have a sense of victory unless you know what it means to fail. You can’t know what it’s like to feel holy until you know what it’s like to feel really fucking evil. And you can’t be birthed again until you’ve died.”

-Kelly Cutrone-

“Everything may be meaningless, but we can’t deny that it feels good to hold a soft rabbit and massage its ears. And the vast darkness surrounding and crushing us is our great way to freedom. The key isn’t to hide from the bleak truth, but to confront it head-on, stare it down, and fuck it in the face. Then carry on with life. Just because everything is sad, doesn’t mean we can’t be happy.”

-Andrew W.K.-

“But I am not always in what I call a state of grace. I have days of illuminations and fevers. I have days when the music in my head stops. Then I mend socks, prune trees, can fruits, polish furniture. But while I am doing this I feel I am not living.”

-Anaïs Nin-
