"I feel so intensely the delights of shutting oneself up in a little world of one’s own, with pictures and music and everything beautiful."
Virginia Woolf,The Voyage Out. (via fuckyeahvirginiawoolf)
"Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world."
Oscar Wilde, The Critic as an Artist (via pavorst)
"Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions."
Susan Cain, Quiet (via accountedfor)
"Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic."
"Write hard and clear about what hurts."
"Emotionally guarded."
