Quotes November
The more intelligent, the less sane.
- George Orwell
You will be stupid. You will worry your parents. You will question your own choices, your relationships, your jobs, your friends, where you live, what you studied in college, that you went to college at all… If that happens, you’re doing it right.
- Ira Glass
Something else is hurting you - that’s why you need pot or whiskey, or whips and rubber suits, or screaming music turned so fucking loud you can’t think.
- Charles Bukowski
What sordid misery there is in the condition of a man who works and in a civilization based on men who work.
- Albert Camus, Notebooks
Let someone love you just the way you are - as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.
- Marc Hack
Learning lessons is a little like reaching maturity. You’re not suddenly more happy, wealthy, or powerful - but you understand the world around you better, and you’re at peace with yourself. Learning life’s lessons is not about making your life perfect, but about seeing life as it was meant to be.
- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
I don’t owe people anything, and I don’t have to talk to them any more than I feel I need to.
- Ned Vizzini
You either like me or you don’t. It took me twenty-something years to learn how to love myself, I don’t have that kinda time to convince somebody else.
- Daniel Franzese
There are a few things in life so beautiful they hurt: swimming in the ocean while it rains, reading alone in empty libraries, the sea of stars that appear when you’re miles away from the neon lights of the city, bars after 2am, walking in the wilderness, all the phases of the moon, the things we do not know about the universe, and you.
- Beau Taplin
I am homesick for a place I am not sure even exists. One where my heart is full. My body loved. And my soul understood.
- Unknown
The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it’s as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.
- Terry Pratchett
You were hurt badly, and those scars will be with you for ever. I feel sorry for you, I really do. But think of it like this: it’s not too late to recover. You’re young, you’re tough. You’re adaptable. You can patch up your wounds, lift up your head and move on.
- Haruki Murakami
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
- Henry David Thoreau
Not all love is gentle. Sometimes it’s gritty and dirty and possessive, sometimes it’s not supposed to be careful or soft at all. Sometimes it feels like teeth.
- Azra T.
Be a scar. Do not be ashamed of living through something.
- Nayyirah Waheed
I have insecurities of course, but I don’t hang out with anyone who points them out to me.

Don’t be in such a hurry to condemn a person because he doesn’t do what you do, or think as you think. There was a time when you didn’t know what you know today.
- Malcolm X
Listen, are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?
- Mary Oliver
I will not adjust myself to the world. I am adjusted to myself.
- Anaïs Nin
Your limitations make you the wonderful disaster you most probably are.
- Nick Cave, qtd in 20,000 Days on Earth
But my favorite thing of all: I like you ‘cause you like me. I don’t know - I think that says a lot about how great you are as a person.
- Comet (2014)
All the gods, all the heavens, all the hells, are within you.
- Joseph Campbell
I would like damn well to hear your voice again.
- F. Scott Fitzgerald
There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don’t you?
