“It is a good lesson - though it may often be a hard one - for a man… to step aside out of the narrow circle in which his claims are recognized, and to find how utterly devoid of significance, beyond that circle, is all that he achieves, and all he aims at.”
—Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter (via bookmania)
“Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.”
—Anaïs Nin (via slekes)
“And the matches gave such a brilliant light that it was brighter than at noon-day: never formerly had the grandmother been so beautiful and so tall. She took the little maiden, on her arm, and both flew in brightness and in joy so high, so very high, and then above was neither cold, nor hunger, nor anxiety—they were with God.”
—Hans Christian Andersen (via scourging)
“It is only when we are very happy, that we can bear to gaze merrily upon the vast and limitless expanse of water, rolling on and on with such persistent, irritating monotony, to the accompaniment of our thoughts, whether grave or gay. When they are gay, the waves echo their gaiety; but when they are sad, then every breaker, as it rolls, seems to bring additional sadness, and to speak to us of hopelessness and of the pettiness of all our joys.”
—Baroness Emmuska Orczy (via scourging)
*sighs* I hope things work out. I guess it’s all about keeping a balance and whatnot. At least you can use the queues if you’re not goint to be on as often. Take care!
Me too :/ I’ll probably be on deviant art a little more now lol. I can’t really put anything on my queue either, because when I reach the limit, it doesn’t let me put stuff in my queue or answer questions or anything. But I’ll see what I can do.
You too! Loves! <3
Hey I totally understand what you’re going through. I basically went through the same thought process before I moved out of my parents’ house/went to college/got several jobs, so if you need to talk/want advice, I’m here! :)
Thank you so much ;~; you’re too kind!
