“”The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts while the stupid ones are full of confidence.”
—Charles Bukowski (via monkeyism)
“In its silence, a book is a challenge: it can’t lull you with surging music or deafen you with screeching laugh tracks or fire gunshots in your living room; you have to listen to it in your head. A book won’t move your eyes for you the way images on a screen do. It won’t move your mind unless you give it your mind, or your heart unless you put your heart in it … To read a story well is to follow it, to act it, to feel it, to become it — everything short of writing it, in fact. Reading is not interactive with a set of rules or options, as games are; reading is actual collaboration with the writer’s mind. No wonder not everyone is up to it.”
—Ursula K. Le Guin (via planb-becomeapirate)
“Flowers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions nor conflicts.”
—Sigmund Freud. (via collier-de-fleurs)
