Always worth it to have tried, even if you fail, even if you fall like a meteor forever. Better to have flamed in the darkness, to have inspired others, to have lived, than to have sat in the darkness, cursing the people who borrowed, but did not return, your candle.
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless,—it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.

She was one of those people who are irrevocably, incurably honest and therefore both inflexible and vulnerable at the same time.
Love is… never asking for more than you are prepared to give.
Kim Casali (via wnq-art)
If you find yourself constantly trying to prove your worth to someone, you have already forgotten your value.
Just living is not enough… one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.
