I still catch myself feeling sad about things that don’t matter anymore.
Kurt Vonnegut (via thatkindofwoman)(Source: seabois, via emmielou-)
Woman possesses the cosmic force of an element, an invincible force of destruction, like nature’s. She is, in herself alone, all nature! Being the matrix of life, she is by that very fact the matrix of death - since it is from death that life is perpetually reborn, and since to annihilate death would be to kill life at its only fertile source.
The Torture Garden; Octave Mirbeau, 1899 (via heathenwoods)(Source: livejournal69, via shoresinflames)
Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.
