“Dorian, don’t deceive yourself. Life is not governed by will or intention. Life is a question of nerves and fibres and slowly built up cells in which thought hides itself and passion has its dreams. You may fancy yourself safe and think yourself strong. But a chance tone of color in a room or a morning sky, a particular perfume that you had once loved and that brings subtle memories with it, a line from a forgotten poem that you had come across again, a cadence from a piece of music that you had ceased to play- I tell you Dorian, that it is on things like these that our lives depend.” — The Picture of Dorian Gray, Wilde.

“There are so many fragile things, after all. People break so easily. So do dreams and hearts.” — Neil Gaiman | Submitted by: bornonthe17th (via quote-book) (via itookadeepbreath)
