“ Some things, however, are true no matter how hard you might try to block them out, and a lie is always a lie, no matter how prettily told. Some doors, once they’re opened, can never be closed again, just as some trust, once it’s been lost, can never be won back.
Alice Hoffman, Blue Diary (via thisloveisdifficult) (via pinkeezy) (via libraryland) (via coffeeandlipstick)
“ Stories never really end…even if the books like to pretend they do. Stories always go on. They don’t end on the last page, any more than they begin on the first page.
Cornelia Funke (via anniesheart) (via coffeeandlipstick)

“ Music for bus journeys is different to music for driving; sitting behind the wheel you are filled with the exhilarating sense of possibility, the feeling that you could go anywhere; on bus journeys your destination is always limited by the bus route, and your music is, by and large, confined to your headphones rather than billowing out of a car speaker system. Accordingly, the best music for bus journeys always seems characteristically introspective, the kind of music made for dreamers and loner.
I like my bus journey songs to have a narrative; ‘cinematic mini-epics’ by Laura Barton (via flourhoneymilk) (via dilaudid)
“ Our lives were just beginning, our favorite moment was right now, our favorite songs were unwritten.
Rob Sheffield, Love Is a Mix Tape (via quotewhore)
“ You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive.
James Baldwin (via quote-book) (via ihatemuggles) (via breathsoftruth)
