THIS.
All. Night. Long.
“Sometimes while I ride the subway I try to look at each person and imagine what they look like to someone who is totally in love with them. I think everyone has had someone look at them that way, whether it was a lover, or a parent, or a friend, whether they know it or not. It’s a wonderful thing, to look at someone to whom I would never be attracted and think about what looking at them feels like to someone who is devouring every part of their image, who has invisible strings that are connected to this person tied to every part of their body. I think this fun pastime is a way of cultivating compassion. It feels good to think about people that way, and to use that part of my mind that I think is traditionally reserved for a tiny portion of people I’ll meet in my life to appreciate the general public.”

Because any man who burns you a mixed CD with amazing remixes of the guiltiest pleasure love songs in the world is worth missing 5 minutes after he leaves.
“I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves his collection. Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation is raw material for me. My love’s not impersonal yet not wholly subjective either. I would like to be everyone, a cripple, a dying man, a whore, and then come back to write about my thoughts, my emotions, as that person. But I am not omniscient. I have to live my life, and it is the only one I’ll ever have. And you cannot regard your own life with objective curiosity all the time…”

“Our worries, fears and dreams make fantastic stories. Take them with you as you grow up.”
—Neil Gaiman (via writingadvice)
“Don’t be fooled by clarity, there’s always something behind it.”
—Dean Young (via kaelco)
“Stories you read when you’re the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you’ll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.”
—Neil Gaiman (via atomiclanterns)
“We’re all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing.”
—Charles Bukowski (via moldavia)
“I take off my hands and I give them to you but you don’t
want them, so I take them back
and put them on the wrong way, the wrong wrists.” —Richard Siken (via executions, babyfaline)
