"Love yourself so you can show other people how to."
- - Gia Antoinette
I am who I am and no one's going to bring me down for it. No one's ever going to stop me and I'm soaring higher everyday. Either get in my face or get out of my way.

"I will love you as a drawer loves a secret compartment, and as a secret compartment loves a secret, and as a secret loves to make a person gasp, and as a gasping person loves a glass of brandy to calm their nerves, and as a glass of brandy loves to shatter on the floor, and as the noise of glass shattering loves to make someone else gasp, and as someone else gasping loves a nearby desk to lean against, even if leaning against it presses a lever that loves to open a drawer and reveal a secret compartment. I will love you until all such compartments are discovered and opened, and until all the secrets have gone gasping into the world."

"But turning a human being into a thing is almost always the first step in justifying violence against that person. We see this with racism, we see it with homophobia, we see it with terrorism; it’s always the same process. The person is dehumanised, and violence becomes inevitable."

“I don’t want to make any huge generalizations about women, I’m not here to do that, it’s — it’s vulgar. But all I’ll say is that they have no feelings. Because it’s actually men, you’ll find, who are the far more romantic. Men are the people you will hear say, ‘I’ve found somebody. She’s amazing. If I don’t get to be with this person, I’m fucked. I can’t carry on. No, I mean it. She’s totally transformed my life. I have a job, I have a flat… it means nothing. I can’t stand it. I have to be with her. Because if I don’t, I’m going to end up in some bedsit, I’ll be alcoholic, I’ll have itchy trousers. I can’t — I can’t walk the streets any more.’ That is how women feel about shoes.”

"To love life, to love it even when you have no stomach for it and everything you’ve held dear crumbles like burnt paper in your hands, your throat filled with the silt of it. When grief sits with you, its tropical heat thickening the air, heavy as water more fit for gills than lungs; when grief weights you like your own flesh only more of it, an obesity of grief, you think, How can a body withstand this? Then you hold life like a face between your palms, a plain face, no charming smile, no violet eyes, and you say, yes, I will take you I will love you, again."

"We fell in love, despite our differences, and once we did, something rare and beautiful was created. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that’s why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory. I’ll never forget a single moment of it."

"When you’re a beautiful person on the inside, nothing in the world can change that about you. Jealousy is the result of one’s lack of self-confidence, self-worth, and self-acceptance. The Lesson: If you can’t accept yourself, then certainly no one else will."

"When two people meet and fall in love, there’s a sudden rush of magic. Magic is just naturally present then. We tend to feed on that gratuitous magic without striving to make any more. One day we wake up and find that the magic is gone. We hustle to get it back, but by then it’s usually too late, we’ve used it up. What we have to do is work like hell at making additional magic right from the start. It’s hard work, but if we can remember to do it, we greatly improve our chances of making love stay."
- Tom Robbins (via salveo)
