“Isn’t it odd how much fatter a book gets when you’ve read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells, and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower, both strange and familiar.”
—Cornelia Funke (via loveyourchaos)
“Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.”
—William Saroyan (via sunnythunderstorms)
“Let me be, was all I wanted. Be what I am, no matter how I am.”
—Henry Miller (via misswallflower)
“He who doesn’t understand a stare, won’t understand a long explanation.”
