“Imagine how great we’ll be when I’m finally emotionally stable.”
― Colleen Hoover, Regretting You

“Can a smile be deceiving enough?
You see that laugh and assume everything is alright.
Can words of sympathy be genuine enough?
You listen to the sweet words and perceive they're actually being empathetic.
Can a hug be warm enough?
You're being held to show as if they'll never let you go.
Can tearful eyes be enough to fall into?
You'd always be their centre of attention and they'll never look away.
Can the presence of anybody be enough?
You’d be assured that their absence you'll never be tested with.
Can rain or sunlight be an alternative for human existence?
Just so when you'll be deprived, nature will be there to heal you!”
― Hareem Ch, Muse Buzz

“I became quiet!
I used to think you got to express whatever you feel, but when life hits you hard, you go into your tranquility mode.
You stop telling people, build huge walls all around you, start hiding your true sentiments, and become heartless.
In the end, you become numb.
It's just a continuous cycle of your chord towards deeds of people that have become a reason for your woe.
First things bother you & aftermath situations stop bugging you.
The "I'm used to it" phase comes, in which how much erroneous occurs you just take this as a normal event.
You don't realize but you become so weak that you don't care about yourself.
You just quit your life & become quiet.”
― Hareem Ch, Another World

“You're the beginning,
You're the ending,
You're the one who rides the waves of my emotions,
One who makes me compassionate,
One who's the light of my dark self,
I'll be the one always testing your patience,
I'll be the one always annoying you,
I'll be the one always hurting you,
Why?
Because I know you'll always be there to bear the jokes I crack,
To tolerate my inside chaos,
To see my vulnerable self,
To misinterpreting your actions & intentions,
I'll always be hardcore to deal with,
Taking you over the edge,
Because that's what I only know.”
― Hareem Ch, Hankering for Tranquility

“Baby, it's all just smoke and mirrors,
Since you left me in choke and shivers.
Baby, it's all just crashing down,
Since you let me down.
Baby, it's all just wanting you around,
Since you turned swound.
Baby, it's all just hopeless,
Since you went headless.”
― hareem ch, Muse Buzz

“I come from a place where nobody respects the selflessness
I don't want to take away your happiness,
Give me the tears and I'll turn them into rivers of joy for you,
For all I know is to love.”
― Hareem Ch, Another World

“If consumers dematerialize their intensity of use of goods and technicians produce the goods with a lower intensity of impact, people can grow in numbers and affluence without a proportionally greater environmental impact.”52”
― Marian L. Tupy, Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet

“It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us. These laws, taken in the largest sense, being Growth with Reproduction; Inheritance which is almost implied by reproduction; Variability from the indirect and direct action of the external conditions of life, and from use and disuse; a Ratio of Increase so high as to lead to a Struggle for Life, and as a consequence to Natural Selection, entailing Divergence of Character and the Extinction of less-improved forms. Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
― Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species

“Embryology will reveal to us the structure, in some degree obscured, of the prototypes of each great class.”
― Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species

“Fools learn from experience. I prefer to learn from the experience of others.”

“The leaves of our blessed lives fall to the ground and if we’re wise like my grandfather, we gather them in a pile and keep them safe lest the winds of forgetfulness blow them away.”
― Philip Gulley, Home to Harmony

“Today, the practice of cosmetic medicine is one that walks the line between empowering women to control their bodies and trapping them in a gilded cage of punishing beauty standards.”
― Elizabeth Comen, All in Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us About Women’s Bodies and Why It Matters Today – A Memorial Sloan Kettering MD's History of Healthcare and Agency

“The mistake doctors made, and continue to make, is imagining that a disease that’s in the patient’s head must therefore, in some sense, be a fabrication over which the patient has control.”

“Man’s happiness today consists in “having fun.” Having fun lies in the satisfaction of consuming and “taking in” commodities, sights, food, drinks, cigarettes, people, lectures, books, movies—all are consumed, swallowed. The world is one great object for our appetite, a big apple, a big bottle, a big breast; we are the sucklers, the eternally expectant ones, the hopeful ones—and the eternally disappointed ones.”
― Erich Fromm, The Art of Loving

“Let us waive that agitated national topic, as to whether such multitudes of foreign poor should be landed on our American shores; let us waive it, with the one only thought, that if they can get here, they have God's right to come; though they bring all Ireland and her miseries with them. For the whole world is the patrimony of the whole world; there is no telling who does not own a stone in the Great Wall of China.”
― Herman Melville, Redburn

“But people seem to have a great love for names; for to know a great many names, seems to look like knowing a good many things; though I should not be surprised, if there were a great many more names than things in the world.”
― Herman Melville, Redburn

― Herman Melville, Redburn

“But to mourn, that's different. To mourn is to be eaten alive with homesickness for the person.”
― Olive Ann Burns, Cold Sassy Tree

“Ask and it shall be given you,'" I began. "'Seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.' We have the same message in the Book of Saint John," I said, sounding for all the world like a preacher...."
Well, but how could I just stop there? Those words were worse than nothing if I didn't tell what they meant to Grandpa. Looking at the long rough box, I spoke timid, in a mumbled voice. Not preachified at all. "Grandpa didn't think Jesus meant, by that, that we should ast God for things, or for special favors. He said we could trust that in the nature of things, without astin', we'll get lots of blessin's and happy surprises and maybe a miracle or two. When Jesus said ast and you'll get it, He meant things of the spirit, not the flesh. Right now for instance, I could ast, 'Lord please raise Grandpa from the dead,' but it wouldn't happen. But I can say, 'Please, God, comfort me,' and I'll get heart's ease. Grandpa said Jesus meant us to ast for hope, forgiveness, and all that. Ast, 'Hep us not be scared, hep us not be greedy, give us courage to try." I was really carried away. "Ast any such and God will give it to you. But don't ast Him not to let fire burn, or say spare me from death. At least, uh, that's what Grandpa said.”
― Olive Ann Burns, Cold Sassy Tree

“You can’t make homes out of human beings. Someone should have already told you that. And if he wants to leave then let him leave. You are terrifying and strange and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.”
― Warsan Shire

“In the case of good books, the point is not to see how many of them you can get through, but rather how many can get through to you.”

“But she must have been a wonderful person, right?” “Was she? Who was it who said loving someone is like having a mental illness that’s not covered by health insurance?”
― Haruki Murakami, The City and Its Uncertain Walls

“It is a capital mistake to theorize before you have all the evidence. It biases the judgment.”
― Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes: The Ultimate Collection

“Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.”
― Terry Pratchett, Jingo
