but fate is not entirely
to blame.
we have wasted
our chances,
we have strangled
our own hearts.

Quote from misbegotten paradise by Charles Bukowski in Popular Culture - Quote published by 5 months ago ()

I don’t miss him anymore. 
Most of the time, anyway.
I want to.

I wish I could but unfortunately, it’s true: time does heal. It will do so whether you like it or not, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

If you’re not careful, time will take away everything that ever hurt you, everything you have lost, and replace it with knowledge.

Time is a machine: it will convert your pain into experience… It will force you to move on and you will not have a choice in the matter.

Quote from How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe by Charles Yu in Popular Culture - Quote published by 5 months ago ()

Sometimes I have the strangest feeling about you. Especially when you are near me as you are now. It feels as though I had a string tied here under my left rib where my heart is, tightly knotted to you in a similar fashion. And when you go, with all that distance between us, I am afraid that this cord will be snapped, and I shall bleed inwardly.

Quote from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë in Popular Culture - Quote published by 5 months ago ()

Something is in me that I can’t control. I can never drive my car over a bridge without thinking of suicide. I can never look at a lake or an ocean without thinking of suicide. I mean, I won’t linger on it all. But it will flash one me: SUICIDE. Like a light going on. In the darkness. That there is an out helps you stay in. Get it? Otherwise, it could only be madness. And that’s no fun, buddy.

Quote from Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk in Popular Culture - Quote published by 6 months ago ()

every person, I suppose, has
their eccentricities
but in an effort to be
normal
in the world’s
eye
they overcome them
and therefore
destroy their
special calling.

She had studied the universe all her life, but had overlooked its clearest message: For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love.

Quote from Contact by Carl Sagan in Popular Culture - Quote published by 6 months ago ()

The blankets had fallen off and I stared down at her white back, the shoulder blades sticking out as if they wanted to grow into wings, poke through that skin. Little blades. She was helpless.

Quote from Post Office by Charles Bukowski in Popular Culture - Quote published by 6 months ago ()

I retired into a corner and sat down on the floor. The spell by which I had been so far supported began to dissolve; reaction took place, and soon, so overwhelming was the grief that seized me, I sank prostrate with my face to the ground. Now I wept: nothing sustained me; left to myself I abandoned myself, and my tears watered the boards. Now, here I lay again crushed and trodden on; and could I ever rise more? “Never,” I thought; and ardently I wished to die.

Quote from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë in Popular Culture - Quote published by 6 months ago ()

I do believe you have a wound too. I do believe it is both specific to you and common to everyone. I do believe it is the thing about you that must be hidden and protected, it is the thing that must be tap danced over five shows a day, it is the thing that won’t be interesting to other people if revealed. It is the thing that makes you weak and pathetic. It is the thing that truly, truly, truly makes loving you impossible. It is your secret, even from yourself. But it is the thing that wants to live.
