“When adults say, “Teenagers think they are invincible” with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don’t know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.”
—John Green “Looking for Alaska” (via klouz)
“I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not be defined by another person.”
—Oscar Wilde (via rachelsgarden)

— excerpt from As Is The Sea Marvelous by E.E. Cummings
I love books. The ability to be sitting in a crowd of people and yet still being able to escape into a whole new world. Reading will never be outdated or forgotten, because our imaginations and minds crave them. The feeling of slipping into other worlds for a while is one of the greatest ways to treat yourself.
“Never love anyone who treats you like ordinary.”
—Oscar Wilde (via ghostofhearts)
See you met me at an interesting time.
“No I’m not the man I used to be lately
See you met me at an interesting time
If my past is any sign of your future
You should be warned before I let you inside”
I feel like I’m changing a lot this past semester. I’d write more but I’m sleepy and I have to pack for tomorrow.
“I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.”
—John Green; Looking for Alaska
“There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable.”
