“Life has taught me to think, but thinking has not taught me to live.”
—Alexander Herzen (via life-itself-is-a-quotation)
“I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can’t see from the center”
—Kurt Vonnegut (via qu0tebl0g)
“I am more sensitive than other people. Things that other people would not notice awaken a distinct echo in me, and in such moments of lucidity, when I look at myself, I see that I am alone, all alone, all alone.”
—Henri Barbusse, Hell (translated by Edward J. O’Brien)
“I close my eyes and I take a deep breath and I think about my life and how I ended up this way. I think about the ruin, devastation and wreckage I have caused to myself and to others. I think about self-hatred and self-loathing. I think about how and why and what happened and the thoughts come easily but the answers don’t”
—James Frey - A Million Little Pieces (via qu0tebl0g)
