The power of a glance has been so much abused in love stories, that it has come to be disbelieved in. Few people dare now to say that two beings have fallen in love because they have looked at each other. Yet it is in this way that love begins, and in this way only.
— Victor Hugo, Les Misérables (via decrepito)
The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before.
— Albert Einstein (via infinitives)
What happens when you fall in love?
Is it like tetris?
You maneuver the pieces until they fit.
But, no matter how long I play, no matter how calm
the moment always comes when the pieces fall faster,
panic sets in, and the game ends with a final piece that just… doesn’t fit.
