How odd I can have all this inside me and to you it’s just words.
Be merciful until you can’t be.
Until you feel your heart
begin to harden into a bullet.
Then use that bullet.
Until you feel your heart
begin to harden into a bullet.
Then use that bullet.

Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
I think perfection is ugly. I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion.
I never wish to be easily defined. I’d rather float over other people’s minds as something strictly fluid and non-perceivable; more like a transparent, paradoxically iridescent creature rather than an actual person.
Franz Kafka; from a diary entry dated 23 March 1914. (via setbabiesonfire)

Tell people there’s an invisible man in the sky who created the universe, and the vast majority will believe you. Tell them the paint is wet, and they have to touch it to be sure.
George Carlin (via setbabiesonfire)
Some people die in their twenties and they are buried in their seventies.
Sadegh Hedayat (via man-of-prose)
I’m unapologetic not because I’m strong-willed or over-confident. I’m unapologetic because this is it; this is my life. There is nothing I can do, no-one I can please. I am a person with a strong sense of being, that’s all.
Jean Seberg (via oktoberlyons)
The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.
W.B. Yeats (via wethinkwedream)
