were it not



Quiet Girl
I would liken you
To a night without stars
Were it not for your eyes.
I would liken you
To a sleep without dreams
Were it not for your songs.
Langston Hughes

“I have learnt how to live… How to be In the world and Of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch. And I will never, never again run away from life. Or from love, either…"
Sabrina

You must realize that something is happening to you, that life has not forgotten you, that it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall.

“ Life is both sad and solemn. We are let into a wonderful world, we meet one another here, greet each other—and wander together for a brief moment. Then we lose each other and disappear as suddenly and unreasonably as we arrived

Sophies World, Jostien-Gaarder (via insituthoughts) (via kari-shma)
