Oh what we could be if we stopped carrying the remains of who we were.

A writer is someone who spends years patiently trying to discover the second being inside him, and the world that makes him who he is: when I speak of writing, what comes first to my mind is not a novel, a poem, or literary tradition, it is a person who shuts himself up in a room, sits down at a table, and alone, turns inward; amid its shadows, he builds a new world with words.
Orhan Pamuk (via quotemadness)

Siamo tutti soli
Come isole senza porti
I nostri fari
Lontani, irraggiungibili
Siamo tutti egualmente soli
Isole di silenzi
Arcipelaghi di incomprensioni

I think it’s hard for you to fall in love because you like control, and you can’t control what another person does or feels, so you keep all your cards.

The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.

It’s a most distressing affliction to have a sentimental heart and a skeptical mind.

To a dear friend
“But even in the dark I saw you were the only one alone
But these hot gates you spent your victory on
Though your swore you wouldn't do this anymore
And I can't be for you all of the things you want me to
But I will love you constantly
There's precious little else to me
And though we cry, we must stay alive
Let my blood only run out when my world decides
There is no way out of your only life
So run on”
I didn’t want you to go, and I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything more, I’m sorry it wasn’t enough.
I will love you constantly.
To everyone else who happen to read this, just remember that ‘though we cry, we must stay alive’
There’s always someone who loves you, don’t close yourself in a box, though who loves us sometimes can’t be all the things we want them to, they love us constantly.
Though we cry, we must stay alive

Go then if you must, but remember, no matter how foolish your deeds, those who love you will love you still.
