“The Greek word for “return” is nostos. Algos means “suffering.” So nostalgia is the suffering caused by an unappeased yearning to return.”

growing-orbits:

It Is That Dream

It’s that dream that we carry with us
that something wonderful will happen,
that it has to happen,
that time will open,
that the heart will open,
that doors will open,
that the mountains will open,
that wells will leap up,
that the dream will open,
that one morning we’ll slip in
to a harbor that we’ve never known.

— Olav H. Hauge, translated by Robert Bly

decorate your own soul, instead of waiting

“But in my case, the only thing that made sense of the world was you, and without you the world will seem as garbled and tragic as a malfunctioning typewrite9.”

“When it comes to being gentle, start with yourself. Don’t get upsest with your imperfections. Being disappointed by failure is understandable, but it shouldn’t turn into bitterness or spite directed at yourself. It’s a great mistake because it leads nowhere—to get angry because you are angry; upset at being upset; disappointed because you are disappointed.”

- St. Frances de Sales (via quote-book)

“We all suffer alone in the real world. True empathy’s impossible. But if a piece of fiction can alow us imaginatively to identify with a character’s pain, we might then also more easily conceive of others identifying with their own. This is nourishing, redemptive; we become less alone inside. It might just be that simple.”

- David Foster Wallace (via pavorst)

tristamateer:

Forgive me; I am young.
I do not yet understand the way wanting is intensified by absence,
but I do—
I do understand the way I am intensified by you.

“Understand” is perhaps the wrong word
because I am not familiar with its reasoning or its inner workings,
but I know it.
I feel it.
Nothing matters but you.

You are the card in my spokes,
clicking out a beat I could never find on my own.
I am peddling out a rhythm no one can keep up with
but you.
