Quotes
The melancholy river bears us on. When the moon comes through the trailing willow boughs, I see your face, I hear your voice and the bird singing as we pass the osier bed. What are you whispering? Sorrow, sorrow. Joy, joy. Woven together, like reeds in moonlight.
Virginia Woolf, A Haunted House, And Other Short Stories (via violentwavesofemotion)
Sighing melancholy sighs at reading this brief quote with many of my favorite things: a river, a weeping willow, joy and moonlight. Oh, sorrow. Yes. Woven amidst the rest, I know you too, but joy ultimately wins. ~Janean

The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.
Ernest Hemingway (via hopehandwritten)
Twitter feels like continually moving to NYC without knowing anyone whereas Facebook feels like you’re living in your hometown and hanging with everyone you went to high school with. Twitter’s we’re-all-here-in-the-moment thing… is what makes it possible for people to continually reinvent themselves on Twitter. You don’t have any of that Facebook baggage, the peer pressure from a lifetime of friends, holding you back. You are who your last dozen tweets say you are.
Jason Kottke, “Twitter is a machine for continual self-invention” (via austinkleon)
I love Twitter. I do. This explains the difference between Twitter and Facebook exactly right. ~ Janean

Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears.
Gregory David Roberts (Shantaram)
Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me… Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.
Shel Silverstein (via lindseyx)
The only way out is through…
Robert Frost (via artreture)
Substitute ‘damn’ every time you’re inclined to write ‘very;’ your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.
Mark Twain (via planb-becomeapirate)
I’m hopeless and awkward and desperate for love!
Chandler Bing (via medication)
