T.S. Eliot, The Cocktail Party

"She gave me back the ring. And that evening, even if there were other vacillations later on, I learned that I had lost her and that I had arranged to lose her without wanting to, but that was even worse than doing it on purpose—it was the cleanest, most surgical strike I could make."
— Emmanuel Carrère, My Life as a Russian Novel. I had to put this book down over and over again, and still finished it in what felt like minutes. (via smalldemonsblog)
Posted 9 months agoThe most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.

"To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with."
— Mark Twain. (This is how I feel about traveling. I enjoy traveling alone, but I’d enjoy traveling even more if David would ever take the time off to do so. I’ve been trying to drag him to New Zealand or Ireland for years now. Screw it, I’m visiting Mexico with Cristian.)

"… And I seem to have such strength in me now, that I think I could stand anything, any suffering, only to be able to say and to repeat to myself every moment, ‘I exist.’ In thousands of agonies―I exist. I’m tormented on the rack―but I exist! Though I sit alone on a pillar―I exist! I see the sun, and if I don’t see the sun, I know it’s there. And there’s a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there."
— Dmitri Karamazov to his brother Alyosha, The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoyevsky (via micromermaid)

Coffee!
I had to think about it for a second, but I actually agree. I am a coffee addict.
