“ Suffering has been stronger than all other teaching, and has taught me to understand what your heart used to be. I have been bent and broken, but - I hope - into a better shape.

“ You’re not like the others. I’ve seen a few; I know. When I talk, you look at me. When I said something about the moon, you looked at the moon, last night. The others would never do that. The others would walk off and leave me talking. Or threaten me. No one has time anymore for anyone else. You’re one of the few who put up with me.
— Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451 (via light-essence)

Friend: Maybe you should stop pushing people away and just let them be in your life the best they know how.
Me: Maybe I wouldn’t push them if they didn’t fail me and make me feel so unsafe to begin with.

“ When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
— Henri J.M. Nouwen (The Road to Daybreak: A Spiritual Journey) | Submitted by: Cola (via quote-book)
