quotes i like/found in one of my various journals

Maybe you were all faster than me
We gave each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I’ve been
So I go, and I will not be back here again
I’m gone as the day is fading on white houses
I lied, wrote my injuries all in the dust
In my heart is the five of us
In white houses

And you, maybe you’ll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep

—White Houses by Vanessa Carlton

Death follows birth, withering follows flourishing, and dispersion follows assembling…This is “impermanence”.

—Master Sheng-yen Lu in his Overview of the Buddadharma

But I think it’s intoxicating when somebody is so unapologetically who they are.

—Don Cheadle (via elige)

You can talk with someone for years, everyday, and still, it won’t mean as much as what you can have when you sit in front of someone, not saying a word, yet you feel that person with your heart, you feel like you have known the person for forever…. connections are made with the heart, not the tongue.
