[When your laboratory explodes, lacing your body with a supercharged elixir, what do you do? You don’t just lie there. You crawl out of the rubble, hideously scarred, and swear vengeance on the world. You keep going.] You keep trying to take over the world.
Austin Grossman, from Soon I Will Be Invincible (thanks, talesofearth)

How do I start this day,
I who am unsure
of how my life has happened
or how to proceed
amid this warm and steady sweetness?
Albert Garcia, from “August Morning” (via the-final-sentence)
Like so many Americans, she was trying to construct a life that made sense from things she found in gift shops.
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five (via blua)
But money is not a good thing. It suppresses the mind. When the mind rules, it creates its own happiness. But, when wealth takes over the task of gathering pleasures, there is nothing for the mind to do. Where formerly there was happiness of the mind, now possessions usurp that space. Instead of happiness, one acquires nothing but things.
“The Gift of Sight” in She: Short Stories of Rabindranath Tagore, translated by Joyasree Mukerji (via afilmandlitlover)
So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.
Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower (via bookmania)
My mom is yelling at my brother and I overheard this.
- Mom: GO TO YOUR ROOM
- Brother: that's not fair
- Mom: DO AS I SAY.
- Brother: You never send Lizzie to her room when she's in trouble!!
- Mom: Lizzie never leaves her room. If she were in trouble I'd make her sit in the living room or go outside or talk to human beings.
- Me: I CAN HEAR YOU.
Get your act together.
If you give up everything for something which is soooo special than make it happen because if not, in the end it was all a waste of time. You not only lost precious time which can never be replaced but you’ll also have a feeling of regret. In the end you would feel like killing yourself. #rant. #shitthatannoysme
there you go! exactly what we were talking about
