Your ambition should be to get as much life out of living as you possibly can- as much enjoyment, as much interest, as much experience, as much understanding. And not to simply be what is generally called a success.

Eleanor Roosevelt

He always liked learning. Loved it, really. If he could have spent his whole life sitting in a lecture hall, taking notes, could have drifted from department to department, haunting different studies, soaking up language and history and art, maybe he would have felt full, happy.

V.E. Schwab

but there was a mixture of sweetness and archness in her manner which made it difficult for her to affront anybody; and Darcy had never been so bewitched by any woman as he was by her

Jane Austen in The Pride and Prejudice

How frequently Mr. Darcy’s eyes were fixed on her. She hardly knew how to suppose that she could be an object of admiration to so great a man

Jane Austen in Pride and Prejudice

Warm summer nights

The gift of youth

All the hearts it excites

And the feelings of truth

He always came to her unexpectedly- and she liked it, because it made him a continuous presence in her life, like the ray of a hidden light that could hit her at any moment.

Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged

[fscottfitzjournal]

This grief has shattered my soul into many pieces, yet I do not have the courage to let it go, because it’s the only thing I have left of you

Grief is all the unexpressed love you had for someone. It’s love’s souvenir because it all can’t be sorrow, can it? What is grief if not love persevering? To grieve is to have loved and to love is to grieve, grief is the price we pay for love and worth it a million times over.

“She always felt it when the train went underground - this sense of eagerness, of hope and secret excitement. It was as if normal existence were a photograph of shapeless things in badly printed colors, but this was a sketch done in a few sharp strokes that made things seem clean, important- and worth doing”

Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged

It’s your world, isn’t it?

Scott Fitzgerald in The Beautiful and Damned

“I have now reached the stage that I don’t care much... the world will still keep on turning... what is going to happen, will happen, and anyway it’s no good trying to resist”

Wasn’t friendship itself a beautiful miracle

People choosing to spend the days of their lives in each other’s company

Not bound by blood, attraction or nuptials

As if their souls meant to find each other

To be there through misery, despair and struggle

To cherish and make our lives more joyful

AH~
