“My life just seemed too complete, and maybe we have to break everything to make something better out of ourselves.”
— Chuck Palahniuk (via likeafieldmouse)
“Just look at life with more playful eyes. Don’t be serious. Seriousness becomes like a blindness. Don’t pretend to be a thinker, a philosopher. Just simply be a human being. The whole world is showering its joy on you in so many ways, but you are too serious, you cannot open your heart.”
“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say ‘My tooth is aching’ than to say ‘My heart is broken.’”
— C. S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain (via likeafieldmouse)
