“ No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart. ”
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald (via fuckyeahliteraryquotes)
“ No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality. ”
The Haunting of Hill House, Shirley Jackson (via fuckyeahliteraryquotes)
“ A dog has no use for fancy cars or big homes or designer clothes. Status symbol means nothing to him. A waterlogged stick will do just fine. A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class but by who they are inside. A dog doesn’t care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart and he will give you his. It was really quite simple, and yet we humans, so much wiser and more sophisticated, have always had trouble figuring out what really counts and what does not. ”
John Grogan, Marley and Me (via simply-quotes)
“ I don’t ask you to love me always like this, but I ask you to remember. Somewhere inside me there’ll always be the person I am tonight. ”
F. Scott Fitzgerald (via atomiclanterns)
“ Of course, you never really forget anyone, but you certainly release them. You stop allowing their history to have any meaning for you today. You let them change their haircut, let them move, let them fall in love again. And when you see this person you have let go, you realize that there is no reason to be sad. The person you knew exists somewhere, but you are separated by too much time to reach them again. ”
Chelsea Fagan, How We Let People Go (via 33113)
