1. All my life, I seemed always to be looking for something – never knowing what it was – but always there was the sense that I couldn’t and shouldn’t be confined.

    — Steve McQueen (via strangetransit)

  2. And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can’t ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it’s already happened.

    — Douglas Coupland (via monsta)

  3. When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.

    — Lisa Unger (via quote-book)

  4. The world changes in direct proportion to the number of people willing to be honest about their lives.
