Nationalism teaches you to hate people you’ve never even met and take pride in accomplishments you had no part in whatsoever
― Doug Stanhope (via notmycupofchai)
The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.
― Ernest Hemingway (via alecshao)
I fall in love with people’s passion. The way their eyes light up when they talk about the thing they love and the way they fill with light.
― a million times, this. (via loveyourchaos)
Falling in love with someone isn’t always going to be easy… Anger… tears… laughter.. It’s when you want to be together despite it all. That’s when you truly love another. I’m sure of it.

Be Soft.
Do not let the world make you hard.
Do not let pain make you hate.
Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.
Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree,
You still believe it to be a beautiful place.
Do not let the world make you hard.

The reformists have a good smell for what the audience wants… But that is not serious revolutionary activity. We must have the courage to be unpopular, to say ‘you are fools,’ ‘you are stupid,’ ‘they betray you,’ and every once in a while with a scandal launch our ideas with a passion.

Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world.

As I grow older, much older, I will experience many things, and I will hit rock bottom again and again. Again and again I will suffer; again and again I will get back on my feet. I will not be defeated. I won’t let my spirit be destroyed.
― Banana Yoshimoto (Kitchen)
What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is related only to objects and not to individuals, or to life. That art is something which is specialized or which is done by experts who are artists. But couldn’t everyone’s life become a work of art? Why should the lamp or the house be an art object, but not our life?
― Michel Foucault (via socialistscum)
