"Just finished watching Arrested Development. HOW DID THIS SHOW EVER GET CANCELED? It’s the funniest thing ever. I hate you, FOX. Can’t wait for the movie. STEVE HOLT! lol" - Everyone who watches/finishes Arrested Development for the first time.  (via thebluthcompany)
"There is a theory which states that if ever for any reason anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another that states that this has already happened." - Douglas Adams
"Bob had bitch tits." - Fight Club
"Part of me is made of glass, and also, I love you." - The History of Love, Nicole Krauss
"I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you." - Augustus Waters
"We grow, including the intellectual and the spiritual, without being deeply aware of it. In fact, some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is what is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or person who explained it to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening. I remember the waves of anxiety that used to engulf me at different periods in my life, always manifesting itself in physical disorders (sleeplessness, for instance) and how frightened I was because I did not understand how this was possible.
With age and experience, you will be happy to know, growth becomes a conscious, recognized process. Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed." - Alice Walker, Living By The Word

"Everybody has a secret world inside of them. All of the people of the world, I mean everybody. No matter how dull and boring they are on the outside, inside them they’ve all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds. Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands maybe." - Neil Gaiman
"You say that you love rain, but you open your umbrella when it rains. You say that you love the sun, but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines. You say that you love the wind, but you close your windows when wind blows. This is why I am afraid; You say that you love me too." - Unknown
"Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I’m one of them." - Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine
"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of because words diminish your feelings - words shrink things that seem timeless when they are in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out." - Stephen King
"When I’m 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair, I’ll be reading Harry Potter. And my family will say to me, “After all this time?” And I will say, “Always." - Alan Rickman (via saddest-summer)

"Wanderlust is usually described as “desire to see the world”, “having an itch to travel”. Some people call it itchy feet. But in naming this trip, wherein I will spend time talking to people about the ruthlessly convoluted and endlessly fascinating ways we deal with sexuality in our culture, wanderlust somehow seemed appropriate." - Unknown (via atomos)
"I no longer feel any allegiance to these monsters called human beings, despite being one myself." - Katniss Everdeen, Mockingjay
"It took me like three hours to finish the shading on her upper lip." - Leonardo Da Vinci on the Mona Lisa
