“To me, the only success, the only true greatness for a man lies in immortality. To have your work remembered in history, to leave something in this world that will last for generations, centuries even. That’s greatness. I want to grow away from all this crap. You know the pathetic little world we exist in. I want to leave it all behind, all the petty thoughts about the unimportant little things that’ll be forgotten a hundred years from now anyway. There’s a level somewhere where everything is solid and important. I am going to try to reach up there and find a place I know is pretty close to perfect, a place where this whole messy world should be, could be, if it’d just take the time to learn. Well, then, there, now…guess I shot my wad. Anyway, now you know what a nut I am.”

Dead man
So feel it now, see it now
Through a dead mans eyes
Through a stare so blank
In eyes of sorrow, showing no emotion
See it now, feel it now
A sea of black, a sea so dark
Waves of despair
Constantly washing ashore
The feeling of remourse
See it now, see it now
look into the eyes
of a dead man
can you realize now
this sea of black
a sea of pain
washing ashore
a dead mans pain
“Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to sweet delight
Some are born to endless night.” —William Blake. (via ohhdonpiano)

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
—Jim Morrison (via cannonkangaroo)
“Today is a tomorrow, I was so worried about yesterday.”

“We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It’s a death trap.”
—Anthony Hopkins (via lettherebequotes)
