'How frail the human heart must be―a mirrored pool of thought'~Sylvia Plath
"But we by a love so much refined,
That our selves know not what it is,
Inter-assured of the mind,
Care less, eyes, lips, and hands to miss."
~John Donne, Illustration: Angela Barrett
"That's what literature is. It's the people who went before us, tapping out messages from the past, from beyond the grave, trying to tell us about life and death! Listen to them!"

“When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
~Haruki Murakami - Kafka on the Shore. 🎨John Atkinson

“There is loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock. People so tired, mutilated either by love or no love”
~Charles Bukowski,🎨John Atkinson
how lucky we are to watch the sunsets-sunrise, be able to read books, drink coffee, enjoy solitude....to be happy in the little things is what life is all about.
"There is something so enchanting in the smile of melancholy. It is a ray of light in the darkness, a shade between sadness and despair, showing the possibility of consolation."
~Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace, Painting by : Julius von Klever
"As long as there's such a thing as time, everybody's damaged in the end, changed into something else. It always happens, sooner or later."
~Kafka on the shore, Haruki Murakami.🎨Daniel Ablitt.
ninguém fala sobre o quão exaustivo é viver naquele espaço entre "as coisas vão melhorar" e "não aguento mais isso". é como se suas emoções estivessem constantemente oscilando. deixando você ao mesmo tempo esperançoso e derrotado no mesmo dia
