Aldous Huxley, Brave New World (via thesoberhemingway)

"But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."

I find my self in need of a friend, someone I can call my own. A special friend that everything can be shared with and with things of our own. Someone who I can call my best friend. To talk, text, hang out, spend time and tell jokes together. To share inside jokes and not let a soul in. I have realized that although I call many people my best friend but have yet to experience it the way I did long ago. Instead, it seems that I am floating alone in this ocean called life. I have companions but they are like the critters of the sea, plenty but are found in certain waters. I feel like there are no critters where I am going but I still have to keep on moving.

Those old stories are no longer for me, the waves that use to thrill me are only a bore. For the sea critters that I love and adore are embarking on their own adventures and spreading far and wide. I am not afraid of losing them but rather pleased with their growth.I know I will see them again when we all migrate back home. Why so alone? Because on this boat that I float, I only have myself. At times that is enough but it can be rather dull. Paddle on, paddle on, paddle on to another shore I go embarking on my own adventure that holds a brighter future. Who knows? Maybe there will be someone waiting for me.

André Breton, Manifesto of Surrealism. 1924. (via openedmyheart)

"What is admirable about the fantastic is that there is no longer anything fantastic: there is only the real."

"

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark 

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.

Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks 

Within his bending sickle’s compass come: 

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, 

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

   If this be error and upon me proved,

   I never writ, nor no man ever loved. 

"
