“The longing to touch / be touched. I feel gratitude when I touch someone— as well as affection, etc. The person has allowed me proof that I have a body— and that there are bodies in the world.”

— Susan Sontag, As Consciousness Is Harnessed to Flesh (via books-n-quotes)

“I am mine, before I am ever anyone else’s.”

Ksenia Skos

“Take it from someone who didn’t believe she was worthy of the kind of love people envied or read books about; and no matter how badly I wished for it, I convinced myself that maybe it wasn’t enough. I’m here to tell you that you deserve the love that’s a safe haven on your darkest nights; the kind of love that chooses you each and every time - from the moment you get up to the moment you lay your head down; the kind of romance that makes you forget the rain ruined your adventures; the love that feels like a warm cup of tea or soup on a winter day. You deserve the kind of love that lets you feel, feel so much that you can’t help but be yourself.”

“Not having time for a person, not being able to sit in silence together with somebody, that’s the same as rejecting them, as being scornful about them.”

“Life is boring, except for flowers, sunshine, your perfect legs. A glass of cold water when you are really thirsty. The way bodies fit together. Fresh and young and sweet. Coffee in the morning. These are just moments. I struggle with the in-betweens. I just want to never stop loving like there is nothing else to do, because what else is there to do?”

— Pablo Neruda, Twenty Love Poems and Song of Despair (via books-n-quotes)

“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon - instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.”

— Dale Carnegie

“You were the sun, and I was crashing into you. I’d wake up in the morning and think, ‘This will end in flames.”

— Rainbow Rowell, Carry On (via books-n-quotes)
