If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.
-Lewis Carroll (via booksandnerds)
When a condition or a problem becomes too great, humans have the protection of not thinking about it. But it goes inward and minces up with a lot of other things already there and what comes out is discontent and uneasiness, guilt and a compulsion to get something—anything—before it is all gone.
-John Steinbeck (via misswallflower)
We’re all lonely for something we don’t know we’re lonely for. How else can we explain the curious feeling that goes around feeling like missing somebody we’ve never even met?
-David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest (via honeyforthehomeless)
Once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. 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.
-Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami (via hermionejg)
