All the world's a stage
This is a blog of quotes, for the pen is mightier than the sword and if swords can win wars, then words definitely can.
6Though I am not naturally honest, I am sometimes so by chance.
William Shakespeare - Twelfth Night
You’ve a good heart. Sometimes that’s enough to see you safe wherever you go. But mostly, it’s not.
Neil Gaiman - Neverwhere
He had noticed that events were cowards: they didn’t occur singly, but instead they would run in packs and leap out at him all at once.
Neil Gaiman - Neverwhere
You don’t have to make something that people call art. Living is an artistic activity, there is an art to getting through the day.
Viggo Mortensen (via laurahenderson)
I am young still in years, but the things that have happened to me have rubbed something of the youth from my mind. Whether they have brought any wisdom to light below it, is a more doubtful matter.
H. G. Wells - The First Men In The Moon
One can’t always be magnificent, but simplicity is always a possible alternative.
H. G. Wells - The First Men In The Moon
People see what they wish to see. And in most cases, what they are told that they see.
Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus (via litmusings)

Our story is the story of the universe. Every piece of everyone, of everything you love and everything you hate, of the thing you hold most precious, was assembled by the forces of nature in the first few minutes of the life of the universe, transformed in the hearts of the stars or created in their fiery deaths. And when you die, those pieces will be returned to the universe in the endless cycle of death and rebirth. What a wonderful thing it is to be part of that universe. And what a story, what a majestic story.
Professor Brian Cox, Wonders of the Universe (via real-adventure)
