The Purpose Of Poetry Is To Remind Us   How Difficult It Is To Remain Just One Person,

The best way to know life is to love many things.

Taj Mahal, India 

To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Mary Oliver, from “In Blackwater Woods” (via theclassicsreader)

Only with the things you really need..

The moon shone down on everything with that simplicity and serenity which no other light possesses.

Franz Kafka, The Trial (via ontheedgeofdarkness)

Breakfast At Tiffany’s (1961) dir. Blake Edwards

To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don’t try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.
