216"Responsibility to yourself means refusing to let others do your thinking, talking, and naming for you; it means learning to respect and use your own brains and instincts; hence, grappling with hard work." -Adrienne Rich (via lajoiedespetiteschoses)
(via dreamsinthyme)
6354"Many people still confuse ‘attachment’ with ‘love.’ Attachments are about fear and dependency, and have more to do with love of self than love of another. Love without attachment is the purest love because it isn’t about what others can give you, because you’re empty. It’s about what you can give others—because you’re already full." -Yasmin Mogahed (via nirvikalpa)

62"Doubt is a disease. It infects the mind. Creating a mistrust of people motives and one’s own perceptions. Doubt has the ability to call into questions everything you ever believed about someone and reinforces the darkest suspicions of our inner circle." -Revenge (via itisallbrokennow)

39"Strength of character isn’t always about how much you can handle before you break, it’s also about how much you can handle after you’ve broken." -Robert Tew (via party0n5thave)

59"You can seek the advice of others, surround yourself with trusted advisors. But in the end, the decision is always yours and yours alone. And when it’s time to act and you’re all alone with your back against the wall, the only voice that matters is the one in your head. The one telling you what you already knew. The one that’s almost always right." -Grey’s Anatomy (via quotethat)

21"Don’t let them make you doubt yourself. All the greatest visionaries in history have been told they were insane at some point." -Michele Jaffe, Rosebush (via quotes-shape-us)
55"No one ever has the answers you need, the ones you want most, the ones you whisper as you lay alone in your bed with the lights extinguished and the lonely ache of loss settling in." -Lee Thompson, The Dampness Of Mourning (via quotes-shape-us)
26"You can never know if a person forgives you when you wrong them. Therefore it is existentially important to you. It is a question you are intensely concerned with. Neither can you know whether a person loves you. It’s something you just have to believe or hope. But these things are more important to you than the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. You don’t think about the law of cause and effect or about modes of perception when you are in the middle of your first kiss." -Jostein Gaarder, Sophie’s World (via compassio)
