"He smiled understandingly-much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced—or seemed to face—the whole eternal world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey."F. Scott FitzgeraldThe Great Gatsby (via jaegerjaques)

"I wonder if I make my wish blow away, in the wind, will it bloom somewhere else?"有村竜太郎 (via epikhi)


“When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map of it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person’s body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings.”
"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."Oscar Wilde  (via michigess-eo)

"I can feel infinitely alive curled up on the sofa reading a book."
