It is not true that people stop pursuing dreams because they grow old, they grow old because they stop pursuing dreams.

Gabriel García Márquez, Nobel laureate, who passed away on April 17, 2014 at the age of 87.

Here is his NY TImes obituary,

(via obitoftheday)

“It was a mistake to think of houses, old houses, as being empty. They were filled with memories, with the faded echoes of voices. Drops of tears, drops of blood, the ring of laughter, the edge of tempers that had ebbed and flowed between the walls, into the walls, over the years. […] And there were houses,  that breathed. They carried in their wood and stone, their brick and mortar a kind of ego that was nearly, very nearly, human.” ― Nora Roberts, Key of Knowledge

“if no art makes you feel anything, make your own art and feel something” is too raw of a line to have come from a jenna marbles video of her painting a rainbow/polka dot seahorse saying “it’s seahorse time” on a denim jacket

May 1, 1851, was the most exciting day in London, ever. It marked the launch of the “Great Exhibition” in the brand-new Crystal Palace—13,000 exhibits under one glass roof.

From May to October, six million visitors attended this head-spinning mega-show of technological and design wares from around the world, all housed in a massive hall created from the shockingly modern material of glass. Queen Victoria presided over the opening with Prince Albert, writing in her diary that it was “one of the greatest and most glorious days of our lives.”
