| | Feeling rather alone right now. =\
“The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on."
-- Chuck Palahniuk
"People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they really love."
-- Chuck Palahniuk
"If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...would you slow down? Or speed up?"
-- Chuck Palahniuk
The loneliness was still there, but it was getting louder and easier to dance to.
"We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone."
-- Orson Welles
"Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for."
-- Dag Hammarskjold
"When we truly realize that we are all alone is the time that we need others the most."
-- Ronald Anthony
These quotes are dark. I'm in love, so it's really not as dark as it seems. <3
"I have found the paradox that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love."
-- Mother Teresa
Love is like an earthquake -
Unpredictable, a little scary, but when the hard part is over, you realize how truly lucky you are.
You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.
True love burns the brightest, but the brightest flames leave the deepest scars.
We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved.
Ohhh, and that music thing. <3
A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.
~Leopold Stokowski
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
~Berthold Auerbach
He who sings scares away his woes.
~Cervantes
Musical compositions, it should be remembered, do not inhabit certain countries, certain museums, like paintings and statues. The Mozart Quintet is not shut up in Salzburg: I have it in my pocket.
~Henri Rabaud
You can't possibly hear the last movement of Beethoven's Seventh and go slow.
~Oscar Levant, explaining his way out of a speeding ticket
