“Oh, for the years I have not lived, but only dreamed of living.”
—Nathaniel Hawthorne (via creatingaquietmind)
“She always had that about her, that look of otherness, of eyes that see things much too far, and of thoughts that wander off the edge of the world.”
—The Girl With No Shadow by Joanne Harris (via creatingaquietmind, pinpricks-deactivated20110115)
“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
—Anaïs Nin (via julie911)
“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It’s one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it’s another to think that yours is the only path.”
— Paulo Coelho (via creatingaquietmind)
