"But what is certain is that in five, ten or twenty years, this problem unique to our time, according to him, will no longer exist, it will be replaced by others…Yet this music, the sound of this rain on the windows, the great mournful creaking of the cedar tree in the garden outside, this moment, so tender, so strange in the middle of war, this will never change, not this, this is forever."
Irène Némirovsky (Suite Française)
"Eros will have naked bodies; Friendship naked personalities."
C. S. Lewis
"No relationship is perfect, ever. There are always some ways you have to bend, to compromise, to give something up in order to gain something greater…The love we have for each other is bigger than these small differences. And that’s the key. It’s like a big pie chart, and the love in a relationship has to be the biggest piece. Love can make up for a lot."

"Oh my crush, I’ve gotta crush
I suppose that i could hold it in
But you excite my every cell
Sources say that senses are your friends
My senses say that I should tell
You that I’m not ashamed
You might just feel the same
But you have to try it
If you’re ever really gonna know
My dear, I went for the steal
Maybe it was rushed
Oh my crush, i’ve gotta crush
I want to
I need to
I have to have you"
Crush, Gavin DeGraw (via kari-shma)
"Listen to the people who love you. Believe that they are worth living for even when you don’t believe it. Seek out the memories depression takes away and project them into the future. Be brave; be strong; take your pills. Exercise because it’s good for you even if every step weighs a thousand pounds. Eat when food itself disgusts you. Reason with yourself when you have lost your reason."
Andrew Solomon, The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression (via psychotherapy)
"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

"When I woke up this morning, I saw your smile, that smile, and I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you"
