"But I must admit I miss you quite terribly. The world is too quiet without you nearby. I go to bed early and rise late and feel as if I have hardly slept."
- Lemony Snicket (via coalescent)

"No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy."
- Paulo Coelho, The Zahir (via literarymousetrap)
"Break the glass please, and free us from all of these damned rules, from needing to find an explanation for everything, from doing only what others approve of."
- Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept (via ofbeautifulminds)
"Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams…if you’re wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never roll over and tell you it doesn’t love you anymore."
- Lady Gaga (via chelsearaenagel)
"At every moment of our lives, we have one foot in a fairy tale and the other in the abyss."
- Paulo Coelho (via you-and-me-are-the-world)
"Sometimes life is very mean: a person can spend days, weeks, months and years without feeling anything new. Then, when a door opens a positive avalanche pours in. One moment, you have nothing, the next, you have more you can cope with."
- Paulo Coelho - Eleven Minutes (via aliveandoutofcontrol)
"Now that she had nothing to lose, she was free."
- Paulo Coelho (via decaying-organic-matter)
"You have to take risks … We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen. Every day, God gives us the sun — and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven’t perceived that moment, that it doesn’t exist — that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment. It may arrive in the instant when we are doing something mundane, like putting our front-door key in the lock; it may lie hidden in the quiet that follows the lunch hour or in the thousand and one things that all seem the same to us. But that moment exists — a moment when all the power of the stars becomes a part of us and enables us to perform miracles."
- Paulo Coelho, By The River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept (via natamare)
"Haven’t you learned anything, not even with the approach of death? Stop thinking all the time that you’re in the way, that you’re bothering the person next to you. If people don’t like it, they can complain. And if they don’t have the courage to complain, that’s their problem."
- Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho (via thechocolatebrigade)
"The stupidest thing she knew was for people to act like they knew all about the things they knew absolutely nothing about."

"Dreams are always crushing when they don’t come true. But it’s the simple dreams that are often the most painful because they seem so personal, so reasonable, so attainable. You’re always close enough to touch, but never quite close enough to hold and it’s enough to break your heart."
- Three Weeks with My Brother by Nicholas Sparks (via undreamedshorelines)
"There’s so much I want to say to you, but I’m not sure where I should begin. Should I start by telling you that I love you? Or that the days I’ve spent with you have been the happiest in my life? Or that in the short time I’ve known you, I’ve come to believe that we were meant to be together? I could say all those things and all would be true, but as I reread them, all I could think is that I wish I were with you now, holding your hand and watching for your elusive smile. In the future, I know I’ll relive our time together a thousand times. I’ll hear your laughter and see your face and feel your arms around me. I’m gonna miss all of that, more than you can imagine."
- Dear John by Nicholas Sparks. (via julietnextdoor)
"You should never give yourself a chance to fall apart because, when you do, it becomes a tendency and it happens over and over again. You must practice staying strong, instead."
- Eat Pray Love (Elizabeth Gilbert)
