“If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!”
—Søren Kierkegaard (via vanished)
“No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.”
—Ansel Adams (via vanished)
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (via forgivethelost)
I love tea. Not because of the sweet flavor, pleasant odor, or the warm feeling in your stomach it brings after drinking a cup, but rather the lifestyle that is associated with it. It’s about taking a few moments out of a crazy day to hit the pause button and just relax. It’s about pondering unanswerable questions, and it’s about reflecting on the day’s absurdities. Tea is about appreciating what you have and loving life. So when I say I love tea, it’s more than just a beverage preference, it’s about embracing certain ideals and taking on an attitude of positivity.
“I advise you to stop sharing your dreams with people who try to hold you back, even if they’re your parents. Because, if you’re the kind of person who senses there’s something out there for you beyond whatever it is you’re expected to do - if you want to be EXTRA-ordinary - you will not get there by hanging around a bunch of people who tell you you’re not extraordinary. Instead, you will probably become as ordinary as they expect you to be.”

“I remember awakening one morning and finding everything smeared with the color of forgotten love.”
—Charles Bukowski (via lunaoki)
“You’ve been spending all your time, searching for a sign, that’s never gonna look the way you want it.”
—John Mayer - If I Ever Get Around to Living (via steveo1304)
“There are certain things in life where you know it’s a mistake but you don’t really know it’s a mistake because the only way to really know it’s a mistake is to make the mistake and look back and say ‘yep, that was a mistake.’ So really, the bigger mistake would be to not make the mistake, because then you’d go your whole life not knowing if something is a mistake or not.”
—Lily (How I Met Your Mother)
Men are an exquisite creation.
I love the human body, male and female, every beautiful part, not in a sexual way, but there’s just something amazing about a man’s form. A creation with which (with whom) I could make endless love.
