Captivating Enigma

If you want something you’ve never had, you must do something you’ve never done… — Kivan Polimis (via thepiquant)

When you want something bad enough, you make the time—regardless of your other obligations. The truth is most people just don’t want it bad enough. Then they protect their ego with the excuse of time. Don’t let yourself off the hook with excuses. It’s entirely your responsibility to make your dreams come true. Besides, the perfect time never arrives. You’re always too young or old or busy or broke or something else. If you constantly fret about timing things perfectly, they’ll never happen. — Fried, Jason (2010). Rework (Kindle Locations 360-361). Crown Business. Kindle Edition. (via ario)

In the passionate dark of dawn, on the path between death and life, within view of the watchful stars and within earshot of the beautiful, obscure anthems, a voice told of the trials and joys promised to our alley.

I love this book. I love Naguib Mahfouz.

Destiny is real. And she’s not mild-mannered. She will come around and hit you in the face and knock you over and before you know what hit you, you’re naked- stripped of everything you thought you knew and everything you thought you didn’t know- and there you are! A bloody nose, bruises all over you, and naked. And it’s the most beautiful thing. —  C. JoyBell C. (via danseurs)

Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you’re keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. James Patterson, Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas (via foxgloves)

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. — (via inventionofmylife)

Some things just aren’t meant to be. The sooner you understand that the better off you’ll be.

Goodbye, said the fox. And now here is my secret, a very simple secret. It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (via johnsteinbeck-)

Interesting. You’re afraid of insects and women.
