I dreamed of you two nights ago…I dreamed…that you and I were walking to a great seashore, where a strong wind was blowing. You said to me: “This is to go on forever.”
– Isak Dinesen, from “The Poet,” Seven Gothic Tales (Vintage, 1991)

“I pray to remember the mornings. When we’re both still hazy from our sleep, and you try to roll deeper into my arms and I never want to let go. When the blankets have been gone for some time now but we were never cold. And your eyes like the ocean, look up, and the waves take me under. I pray that we have those mornings.”

“i could grow fond of many things but how particular my fondness of you how fervent, how violent, how gentle i think we’re just moths riding on the backs of giants and i wasn’t drawn to you because our wings are both blue but because they’re the same colour as everyone else’s and you were willing to listen to why that scared me”

"Some people underestimate how erotic it is to be understood."– Mary Rakow (via quotemadness)

“Lonely people have enthusiasms which cannot always be explained. When something strikes them as funny, the intensity and length of their laughter mirrors the depth of their loneliness, and they are capable of laughing like hyenas. When something touches their emotions, it runs through them… awakening feelings that gather into great armies.”
— Mark Helprin (via quotemadness)

"You’re afraid of making mistakes. Don’t be. Mistakes can be profited by. Man, when I was young I shoved my ignorance in people’s faces. They beat me with sticks. By the time I was forty my blunt instrument had been honed to a fine cutting point for me. If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you’ll never learn."– Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 (via quotespile)
