❝It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.❞
- C. S. Lewis (via wildfrost) (via happythings, fistmaker-deactivated20100719-d)
❝The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.❞
- Arnold Bennett (via julie911)
❝It’s no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn’t even speak to each other if they met at a party.❞
- High Fidelity, by Nick Hornby (via stupidmansuit)
❝Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing that it is stupid.❞
- Albert Einstein (via incoherentthinking) (via happythings)
❝Your biggest challenge isn’t someone else. It’s the ache in your lungs, the burning in your legs, and the voice inside you that yells “can’t”. But you don’t listen.You push harder, you hear the voice that whispers “can”. And you discover that the person you thought you were is no match for the one you really are.❞
