"Maybe this is what the Mayans predicted. Not an asteroid or a solar flare, but the end of what we are. We no longer cherish life, or the other people, or even the earth or the animals or the resources put on it. War. Genocide. Abuse. Senseless mass murder. Animal cruelty. Gluttony. Greed. Waste. And lust. Look around you, the end of the world is already here."
"It is funny how you do not miss affection until it is given, but once it is, it can never be enough; you would drown in it if possible."
"If people want to let you go, just let them do it. They may not understand who you are. So don’t play around with fire; don’t give them their cake and let them eat it too. Here is your rule of thumb: they either commit to you or get none of you."
"There must be those among whom we can sit down and weep and still be counted as warriors."
"I hated you when it would have taken less courage
to love."
Charles Bukowski, “As the Sparrow” (via larmoyante)
