Cause you never think that the last time is the last time. You think there will be more. You think you have forever, but you don’t.

There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.
R. Buckminster Fuller (via quotemadness)
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.

I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.

Ich wünschte, sie würde meine Welt verstehen. Aber das wäre so, als versuchte man, einem Wal zu erklären, wie es ist, im Wald zu leben.
Wie ein Fisch im Baum, Lynda Mullaly Hunt (via marcellstory)
Finding someone who thinks you’re interesting enough to talk to you every day, whether they’re a friend or a lover, is one of the best feelings ever.
