STOP SMILING

Eschew Obfuscation

I wonder how many people I’ve looked at all my life and never seen.

— John Steinbeck (via eachdaysenlightenment)

A Candle Grows, Like It Knows
I Need A Little Bit of Light Right Now
As It Burns, I See The Flame
It Looks Alive, I Wished I Felt The Same

— Lonesome Trio (Whiskey Drink)

We are sometimes made aware of a kindness long passed, and realize that there have been times when our friends’ thoughts of us were of so pure and lofty a character that they passed over us like the winds of heaven unnoticed; when they treated us not as what we were, but as what we aspired to be.

-Henry David Thoreau

YOU DON’T GET IT NOW, BUT YOU WILL WHEN YOU REALIZE I’M THE FRIEND THAT YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. AND WHAT A GREAT FRIEND I TURNED OUT TO BE

NOW TELL ME WHEN YOU ARE LEAVING SO WE CAN LET THE SUMMER OF SORROW BEGIN.

I have always lived violently, drunk hugely, eaten too much or not at all, slept around the clock or missed two nights of sleeping, worked too hard and too long in glory, or slobbed for a time in utter laziness. I’ve lifted, pulled, chopped, climbed, made love with joy and taken my hangovers as a consequence, not as a punishment.

— John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America, 1962

A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

— William Shakespeare

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.

— Edgar Allen Poe

Every man’s life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.

— Ernest Hemingway

Is it immature to anticipate joy and satisfaction from this life?

Saw this question on SoulPancake and it really got me thinking, is it immature to feel this way?

Just something to ponder about.
