“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

- Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird (via platea)

“People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them.”

- Veronica Roth, Insurgent (via platea)

"Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room..."

Fri, 03 May 2013 17:01:08 -0400

“Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. And intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you’ll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.”

- Janet Fitch, White Oleander (via fleurare)

““You are most powerful when you are most silent. People never expect silence. They expect words, motion, defense, offense, back and forth. They expect to leap into the fray. They are ready, fists up, words hanging leaping from their mouths. Silence? No.””

- Alison McGhee
