to hope is to gamble against eternity, to place your heart on the table knowing the house always wins.

Hope is a relentless tyrant. It forces you to stand at the window and make you watch for a ship that has no sea.

all affairs are subject to time

The most beautiful thing in life is that our souls remain hovering over the places where we once enjoyed ourselves. -Gibran

if you are not changing it, you are choosing it.

I agree with your premise, but you’re being so insufferable about it that I’m actually considering switching sides.

The heaviest thing in any room is the conversation two people are actively choosing not to have.

One day, life will hit you with its coldest truth, and you will know you deserved it.

being authentic in a world of imitation is an act of rebellion.

Richard Siken
