No amount of fire or freshness can challenge what a man will store up in his ghostly heart.
— F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (via itsfromabook)
Think, dear Sir, of the world that you carry inside you, and call this thinking whatever you want to: a remembering of your own childhood or a yearning toward a future of your own - only be attentive to what is arising within you, and place that above everything you perceive around you. What is happening in your innermost self is worthy of your entire love.
— Rainer Maria Rilke
But you can’t give your heart to a wild thing: the more you do the stronger they get. Until they’re strong enough to run into the woods. Or fly into a tree. Then a taller tree. Then the sky. That’s how you’ll end up, Mr. Bell. If you let yourself love a wild thing. You’ll end up looking at the sky.
— Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote (via thatkindofwoman)
