For The Dumb Brothas And Sistas Who Jus Don’t Get It

“They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold; and I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.”

— Kahlil Gibran (via goodreadss)

“ - When the truth offends, we lie and lie until we can no longer remember it is even there.

  - But it is still there.

  - Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth.

  - Sooner or later, that debt is paid. “

“Do not settle for less than exactly what you want. Your heart’s desires are there for a reason. Chase them. Pursue them relentlessly. Do not lose sight of your goals.”

— Franki Durbin (via perrfectly)

““You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting – over and over announcing your place in the family of things.””

— Mary Oliver (via amargedom)
