#self expression quotes

[echoesoftheinfinite]

I'm a pile of unfinished things, unsaid feelings, unthought thoughts, and unlived lives.

“If you hear a voice within you saying, ‘You are not a painter,’ then by all means paint … and that voice will be silenced.”

— Vincent van Gogh

Sweet nectar a taste from the devil’s kiss

Fragrant scents its presence fills the air

The red hands crawl deep into my skin

My soul burns wild like hellfire

In glorious ecstasy

A moment of eternity

[thirdity]

I, too, overflow; my desires have invented new desires, my body knows unheard-of songs. Time and again I, too, have felt so full of luminous torrents that I could burst-burst with forms much more beautiful than those which are put up in frames and sold for a fortune.

Hélène Cixous, "The Laugh of the Medusa"

WHO CAN RELATE?

[inabigworld]

all of your feelings. all of your pain. all of your love. all of your rage. all of your hatred. everything that feels good, everything that doesn’t feel good at all. all of your insides. get it out. spill your guts, pour your heart out, and let it bleed out of your wounds. word vomit all over that blank canvas, baby. make it your own.

The only person you have to justify your life or your choices to is yourself.

[strawberryspiced]

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. — Lao-Tze

I read somewhere that you didn't like talking to the media about anything other than the music. Well I don't want to talk about my life in the media. And I certainly don't want to talk about my life in the songs. I never wanted that out of a band, somebody telling me how shit their life is. I wanted someone to tell me how shit or how great my life was. I'm not interested in Kurt Cobain's heroine addiction, or Morrissey's celibacy, or Brett Anderson's, fucking homosexual experiences, it don't mean anything to me. It might mean something to them, but for people to put that in the context of a song is very, very, very, very arrogant, as if to say 'you need to know I was abused as a child'. Like who gives a fuck, you know, not me. I don't think the record buying public does, they just want to hear music.

-Noel interview in Rip It Up, September 1994

Maybe, I really lost the capability of loving someone...

Does something like that happen at all?

Life is just water that trickles away, it will all soon pass, and be forgotten.

So why not live to the fullest, before the last drop falls?

Enjoy the sunshine, hear the birds sing, feel the rustle of the leaves.

Embrace your inner peace, and remove yourself from anything that brings unhappiness.
