"'Look at that. Look at all those people. They look like ants. Sometimes I get the feeling that's all we are- ants. Do you ever feel that way?'
'Sometimes'
'I told it to my father once.'
'What did he say?'
'He didn't say anything. I told you, he never talks to me except when we study. But a few days later, while we were studying, he said that man was created by God, and Jews had a mission in life.'
'What mission is that?'
'To obey God.'
'Don't you believe that?'
'Sure I believe it. Sometimes I'm not sure I know what God wants though.'
'That's a funny thing for you to say.'
'Isn't it? I've never said that to anyone before.'"

"There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of merit or sense."-Pride and Prejudice
"'Your defect is a propensity to hate everybody.'
'And yours, is wilfully to misunderstand them'"
-Pride and Prejudice"
Both, for I have always seen a great similarity in the turn of our minds. We are each of an unsocial, taciturn disposition, unwilling to speak, unless we expect to say something that will amaze the whole room, and be handed down to posterity with all the eclat of a proverb."
-Pride and Prejudice
"When someone sees the same people every day, as had happened with him at the seminary, they wind up becoming a part of that person's life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own."-The Alchemist
“We live in this culture where everything is supposed to be so hip and so cool, and it’s not cool to love, and it’s not cool to take care of each other, and it’s not cool to stand up for ourselves. But you know what? Fuck all of that. I believe in love, and I believe that the only way that we are going to survive this fucking craziness that’s going on in our world today is if we just learn to look at love, turn our heads the other way from all the bullshit, and fucking love.”
-Andrew McMahon
“When I was a girl, my life was music that was always getting louder. Everything moved me. A dog following a stranger. That made me feel so much. A calendar that showed the wrong month. I could have cried over it. I did. Where the smoke from a chimney ended. How an overturned bottle rested at the edge of a table. I spent my life learning to feel less. Every day I felt less. Is that growing old? Or is it something worse? You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness.”

I love Sunday mornings like these. The ones where I wake up in yesterday's clothes and Breakfast with the Beatles is on in the kitchen, where there is actually some beakfast-y food cooking (rare in this house). The whole house is loud from the sounds in the kitchen, and I can hear it from my room when I wake up. These only come around once in a while.I love it because they don't change. Because no matter how different my life was last time one of these mornings came around, this is the same.
