“People say “there are other fish in the sea,” I say “fuck you, she was my sea.”
—Jen Faulkner (via flightless)
“Find a woman who makes you feel more alive. She won’t make life perfect but she’ll make it infinitely more interesting. And then love her with all that’s in you.”
—Gayle G. Roper (via quotewhore)
“Traveling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying, ‘I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.’”
—Lisa St. Aubin de Terán (via kari-shma)
“Be in love with your life, every detail of it.”
—Jack Kerouac (via saddest-summer)
“Love, being in love, isn’t a constant thing. It doesn’t always flow at the same strength. It’s not always like a river in flood. It’s more like the sea. It has tides, it ebbs and flows. The thing is, when love is real, whether it’s ebbing or flowing, it’s always there, it never goes away. And that’s the only proof you can have that it is real, and not just a crush or an infatuation or a passing fancy.”
—Aidan Chambers, This is All: The Pillow Book of Cordelia Kenn (via helplesslyamazed)
“Maybe mistakes are what make our fate… without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn’t fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it’s comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart… and if you’re very lucky, a plane ride away.”
—Sex and the city (via kari-shma)
“It’s one of those things people say. ‘You can’t move on until you let go of the past.’ Letting go is the easy part, it’s the moving on that’s painful. So sometimes we fight it, trying to keep things the same. Things can’t stay the same though. At some point you just have to let it go. Move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it’s the only way we grow.”
—Meredith Grey - ‘The Girl With No Name’ (via greys-anatomy-quotes)
“People think being alone makes you lonely, but I don’t think that’s true. Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world.”
—Kim Culbertson, The Liberation of Max McTrue (via immaescapereality)

“Whoever said what you don’t know can’t hurt you was a complete and total moron. Because for most people I know, not knowing is the worst feeling in the world… but as human beings sometimes it’s better to stay in the dark. Because in the dark there may be fear, but there is also hope.”
—Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo). “Into You Like a Train.” Grey’s Anatomy. 2005. (via difficile-iter)
“It’s one of those things that people say, you can’t move on until you’ve let go of the past. Letting go is the easy part, it’s the moving on that’s painful. So sometimes we fight it, try and keep things the same. Things can’t stay the same though. At some point, you just have to let go. Move on. Because no matter how painful it is, it’s the only way we grow.”
—Grey’s Anatomy - Season 8, Ep. 20 (via brendabeetch)
“Honesty is the best policy, the truth shall set you free, I chopped down the cherry tree. Whatever. The fact is, lying is a necessity. We lie to ourselves because the truth… the truth freaking hurts……No matter how hard we try to ignore or deny it, eventually the lies fall away, like it or not. But here’s the truth about the truth. It hurts. So we lie.”
—GREY’S ANATOMY S2E14 “Tell Me Sweet Little Lies” (via sajie27)
“A wise man once said you can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it. What he meant is nothing comes without a price. So before you go into battle, you better decide how much you’re willing to lose. Too often, going after what feels good means letting go of what you know is right, and letting someone in means abandoning the walls you’ve spent a lifetime building. Of course, the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don’t see coming, when we don’t have time to come up with a strategy to pick a side or to measure the potential loss. When that happens, when the battle chooses us and not the other way around, that’s when the sacrifice can turn out to be more than we can bear.”
—GREY’S ANATOMY S2E23 “Blues For Sister Someone” (via sajie27)
“There’s a reason I said I’d be happy alone. It wasn’t cos I thought I’d be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It’s easier to be alone. Because what if you learn that you need love and then you don’t have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It’s like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever.”
—Meredith Grey - Grey’s Anatomy. (via makeitamelody)
