Sometimes I feel disembodied, as if I am floating in the air around me, as if the lines of my fingers or arms or face are friendly suggestions instead of barriers. As if when God was drawing my soul he colored outside the lines.

““I’m not saying that everything is survivable. Just that everything except the last thing is.””

- John Green, Paper Towns

(This is so true. You don’t HAVE to be okay right now. It’s okay to not be okay. And it isn’t that you won’t die or that you are invincible. Just that you are strong and you have hope, even if it’s so deep down you can’t even tell. ~v)

I am so future-oriented, even the present is a memory.

I saw this thing on facebook that said "Can the Declaration of Independence get more FANS than Obama?" And it struck me. Why do we have to add that competitive bit? Because we know that unless opposed against an enemy, we aren't actually that strong. Unless it is competing against something else, perhaps we don't really value it all that much. Is our Declaration just a piece of paper to us unless we pit it against a president? Unless we express disapproval alongside patriotism? Is it not enough to us to value something- do we also have to disparage something else in order to promote what's important to us? Just a thought.

You don't so much have to remember as you have to remember TO remember. But if you do that it helps you know.

More Fahrenheit 451 Quotes (This book is sooo quotable)

Tue, 07 May 2013 00:23:24 -0400

“We need not to be let alone. We need to be really bothered once in a while. How long is it since you were really bothered? About something important, about something real?”

“Each man the image of every other; then all are happy, for there are no mountains to make them cower, to judge themselves against. So! A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon. Breach man’s mind. Who knows who might be the target of the well-read man?”

“The girl? She was a time bomb … She didn’t want to know how a thing was done, but why. That can be embarrassing. You ask why to a lot of things and you wind up very unhappy indeed, if you keep at it. The poor girl’s better off dead.”

“If you don’t want a man unhappy politically, don’t give him two sides to a question…”

“Cram them full of noncombustible data … Then they’ll feel they’re thinking … and they’ll be happy, because facts of that sort don’t change. Don’t give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy.”

“I don’t talk things, sir,” said Faber. “I talk the meaning of things.”

"I’m anti-social, they say. I don’t mix. It’s so strange. I’m very social..."

“I’m anti-social, they say. I don’t mix. It’s so strange. I’m very social indeed. It all depends on what you mean by social, doesn’t it? Social to me means talking to you about things like this … Or talking about how strange the world is. Being with people is nice.”
