Joys come from simple and natural things: mist over meadows, sunlight on leaves, the path of the moon over water. Even rain and wind and stormy clouds bring joy.”
— Sigurd F. Olson (via julie911)

I am my heart’s undertaker. Daily I go and retrieve its tattered remains, place them delicately into its little coffin, and bury it in the depths of my memory, only to have to do it all again tomorrow.”

“Sometimes I read the same books over and over and over. What’s great about books is that the stuff inside doesn’t change. People say you can’t judge a book by its cover but that’s not true because it says right on the cover what’s inside. And no matter how many times you read that book the words and pictures don’t change. You can open and close books a million times and they stay the same. They look the same. They say the same words. The charts and pictures are the same colors.
Books are not like people. Books are safe.”
— Kathryn Erskine (Mockingbird)

I think if I’ve learned anything about friendship, it’s to hang in, stay connected, fight for them, and let them fight for you. Don’t walk away, don’t be distracted, don’t be too busy or tired, don’t take them for granted. Friends are part of the glue that holds life and faith together. Powerful stuff.”

We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets.”

I wish love was like volleyball. When you say ‘mine,’ everyone would back off, and the ball would be all yours. But it is not, because love is like a basketball. Everyone’s aiming for it. And if you don’t know how to hold the ball well, others will steal it from you.”
— Sarah Dessen | wiishuponastar (via quote-book)
