When you recognize that there is a voice in your head that pretends to be you and never stops speaking, you are awakening out of your unconscious identification with the stream of thinking.
Eckhart Tolle  (via elige)

Most of the pain you’re dealing with are really just thoughts.. ever think of that?

Have only love in your heart for others. The more you see the good in them, the more you will establish good in yourself.
Paramahansa Yogananda

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit.
Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.
Francis de Sales 

The heart of man is very much like the sea, it has its storms, its tides and its depths; it has its pearls too.
Vincent Van Gogh 

I dream about having a house by the water and not doing anything, not feeling ambitious, nor having the need to make money.
Lee Pace 

I just have to say one thing and it’s really important that you just listen to me. I just… It doesn’t feel like this, this thing is gonna go away, it’s always there. I can’t… I can’t get on with my life.
Like Crazy

Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy!Holy !Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Holy! Everything is holy! everybody’s holy! everywhere is holy! everyday is in eternity! Everyman’s an angel!
Allen Ginsberg

‎Travel is little beds and cramped bathrooms. It’s old television sets and slow Internet connections. Travel is extraordinary conversations with ordinary people. It’s waiters, gas station attendants, and housekeepers becoming the most interesting people in the world. It’s churches that are compelling enough to enter. It’s McDonald’s being a luxury. It’s the realization that you may have been born in the wrong country. Travel is a smile that leads to a conversation in broken English. It’s the epiphany that pretty girls smile the same way all over the world. Travel is tipping 10% and being embraced for it. Travel is the same white T-shirt again tomorrow. Travel is accented sex after good wine and too many unfiltered cigarettes. Travel is flowing in the back of a bus with giggly strangers. It’s a street full of bearded backpackers looking down at maps. Travel is wishing for one more bite of whatever that just was. It’s the rediscovery of walking somewhere. It’s sharing a bottle of liquor on an overnight train with a new friend. Travel is ‘Maybe I don’t have to do it that way when I get back home.’
Nick Miller (via h-o-r-n-g-r-y)

Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.

And I say, find the person who respects you above all else. Someone whose belief in you never wavers, even when they’ve seen you at your lowest and your very worst. A person with whom you need not ever talk because you understand each other without having to, but also someone who can talk you to sleep tirelessly, night after night. (via mwwk)

When you’re traveling, you are what you are, right there and then. People don’t have your past to hold against you. No yesterdays on the road.
William Least-Heat Moon (via h-o-r-n-g-r-y)

Because when something happens, she’s the person I want to tell. The most basic indicator of love.
