a-thousand-words

This blog is about words. Pictures with writing, beautiful quotes, introspective song lyrics, clever typography or even the occasional cartoon that has made me nod in agreement, laugh or just think for a little while. A few carefully arranged words can say what 1,000 can't, and can connect people.

I collect those quotes here in a way they don't spam my main tumblr, or get lost in my likes, never to be seen again. Hopefully this way others will find and enjoy them too.

"The best moments in reading are when you come across something — a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things — that you'd thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you've never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it's as if a hand has come out and taken yours." - Hector, The History Boys.

Once you lose yourself, you have two choices. Find the person you used to be, or lose that person completely. Because sometimes you have to step outside of the person you’ve been, and rememeber the person you were meant to be - the person you wanted to be, the person you are.

Sometimes I’m terrified of my heart; of it’s constant hunger for whatever it is it wants. The way it stops and starts.

Most things about me are hard to explain, I guess, like how I’m mostly delusional and live in a half-imaginary world, but am also a realist to the core. I’m just a bunch of contradictions most of the time and I don’t like it, but I also do.

When I think of all the books still left for me to read, I am certain of further happiness.
