But I can now understand why people read, why they like to get lost in somebody else’s life. Sometimes i’ll read a sentence and it will make me sit up, jolt me, because it is something that I have recently felt but never said out loud. I want to reach into the page and tell the characters that I understand them, that they’re not alone, that i’m not alone, that it’s ok to feel like this. And then the lunch bell rings, the book closes, and i’m plunged back into reality.

The young women in all the ya books I loved were high-school age. By eighteen, the majority of them had saved the world, not to mention: kissed people, traveled, been in a relationship, had sex.

It was as if what I wanted to kill wasn’t in that skin or the thin blue pulse that jumped under my thumb, but somewhere else, deeper, more secret, and a whole lot harder to get.” I know what she’s talking about.

As the divine tongue, I came here not only to perform my duties as a taster… But also to meet with various authority figures and key members of the culinary industry. Someday, I will shoulder both the nakiri family as well as japan’s culinary world. It was imperative that I be shown off so as to impress upon the right people that I was a person to be respected and followed.
it was simply a business transaction, one meant to further nakiri interests. Whenever I left the nakiri mansion, it was always for some official business like that.
looking back on it now… I think that the young me was so used to being led around that she never tried to look at things for herself.”
“that can’t be right. Um… As the daughter of the mito group… I got to officially meet with you a time or two when we were both kids. Even back then, I thought you were amazing, miss erina. A-as another kid from a big business family… I know what you’re going through.”
“mito?”
“um! n-not to imply that my family is anywhere near as important as the nakiris! and i’d never do anything so rude and disrespectful as imply that the two of us are in any way equal!
it’s just… I know what it’s like to be bound by family duty.”
i will not have the mito family heir showing any signs of meek girliness! listen, ikumi. You must be strong! think of nothing else!
“but in my case, the pressure from my family got to be too much. It overwhelmed me, and, well… I kinda went off the rails until recently.
you had to be under way more pressure than I ever was, miss erina.
but you always appeared graceful and acted with dignity.

Yuto Tsukuda

Would I show my body off if I was thinner? Probably not, because my body is mine. I think I remind everyone of themselves. I’m not saying everyone is my size, but it’s relatable because I’m not perfect, and I think a lot of people are portrayed as perfect, unreachable and untouchable.

Adele

Important: one must never ever use tampons and ben & jerry’s as each other’s decoy purchases, as this suggests you are some sort of bridget jones situation who needs ice cream to soothe her menses a-bloo-bloos, which defeats the entire purpose of decoy purchases, albert einstein.

stephen christian

What is “this drive”? It’s the tendency to not simply accept things as they are but to want to think about them, to understand them.

I call this tendency the intellectual.

Brian K. Vaughan

Lily had lived with the same pain for so long it felt like a part of her. The worst days, though, were when the pain was different. When it came faster, or harsher, or fiercer than she was used to. When it prickled instead of throbbed. When it attacked her right ankle instead of her left knee. When it woke her up at night instead of aching dully first thing in the morning. On those days, her standard-issue pain was replaced by something different and frightening, something that took over her body and left her without the slightest clue of when, or even if, it would release her.

those times, her pain wasn’t a part of her anymore. Those times, she was a part of it.

The funniest novel you’ve never read. . . . Afternoon Men is a revelation to sophisticated readers of every stripe, but especially to a certain kind of artist manqu on the brink of discovering that life is a more difficult business than he ever had reason to expect. . . . The subject matter is ‘relatable,’ as my students like to say. Better still, though, is what you can learn about the craft of writing from this marvelous book. . . . Indeed, if you’re looking for a funny, nonportentous Hemingway, then the early Powell is your man.

Ilona Andrews

Maybe i’d always been broken and dark inside.

Sarah J. Maas

I get that racism exists, but it’s not a catalyst for my content. I don’t need to talk about race to have material. My style of comedy is more self-deprecating. I think that makes me more relatable. When you deal with ‘topics’ – race, white versus black – you’re not separating from the pack. You’re doing what everybody else is doing.

Kevin Hart

For years I’ve wanted to live according to everyone else’s morals. I’ve forced myself to live like everyone else, to look like everyone else. I said what was necessary to join together, even when I felt separate. And after all of this, catastrophe came. Now I wander amid the debris, I am lawless, torn to pieces, alone and accepting to be so, resigned to my singularity and to my infirmities. And I must rebuild a truth-after having lived all my life in a sort of lie.

70+ Aesthetic Quotes About Love and Everything Else

admin — Mon, 26 Mar 2018 13:06:52 +0000

Relationships can be difficult to navigate. They can be funny and heartbreaking, sometimes at the same time. The art of maintaining a relationship requires skill, patience, caring, and forgiveness.

It isn’t always easy to find the right person for you. We learn as much from our failures as we do from our successes.

Aesthetic quotes go hand in hand with colors and graphics. Purple is a popular shade for these quotes. Some of these quotes come from grunge music, the classic 1990s genre.

Whether you are looking for quotes about the difficulties of relationships or about their joys, you will find the perfect quote here.

Paul Rand

Nothing is beautiful, only man: on this piece of naivete rests all aesthetics, it is the first truth of aesthetics. Let us immediately add its second: nothing is ugly but degenerate man — the domain of aesthetic judgment is therewith defined.

Ferdinand Porsche

Aesthetics is both politics and philosophy, a series of agreements and disagreements between subjective minds.

Jimenez Lai

Harold Rosenberg

Only men are capable of aesthetic greatness.

Brian Sewell

Architecture is a art when one consciously or unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the atmosphere and when this environment produces well being.

Luis Barragan

For aesthetics is the mother of ethics. … Were we to choose our leaders on the basis of their reading experience and not their political programs, there would be much less grief on earth. I believe — not empirically, alas, but only theoretically — that for someone who has read a lot of Dickens to shoot his like in the name of an idea is harder than for someone who has read no Dickens.

Joseph Brodsky

Art is the social antithesis of society, not directly deducible from it.

70+ Sweet Love Quotes For Her Or Him

admin — Wed, 14 Mar 2018 22:48:23 +0000

While you might liken yourself to a modern Don Juan or your lover’s soulmate, not all of us are poetic masters; we could all use a little eloquent inspiration to make that special someone swoon with just words. With the help of these endearing words, a cute night in with The Notebook or a romantic Florentine honeymoon can transform into an even sweeter moment of intimacy. Whether you decide to send these quotes over a flirty text or commit them to memory and recite them from the heart, your boyfriend or girlfriend will appreciate these tender affirmations of your adoration.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.

She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break—her heart. So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze and don’t expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she’s not there.

admin — Mon, 26 Feb 2018 22:59:56 +0000

This year is the 79th birthday of the poignant British wartime poster "Keep Calm and Carry On."

Quotes About Jealousy, Insecurity, Love & Realtionships

admin — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 22:49:19 +0000

Envy, insecurity, and jealousy prevent relationships from growing: if you cannot trust your partner, you don't have a solid enough base for a healthy relationship. Jealousies enhance and reflect the anxieties already present in our daily lives, but jealous feelings don't need to be acted upon: it is more important to recognize the emotions you're feeling so they can be dealt with, instead of letting your insecurities go unnoticed. Instead of jeopardizing your relationships, take a look at the following quotes that will give you the wisdom necessary for overcoming feelings of insecurity in search of a more fulfilling, loving, healthy relationship with your partner.

Insecurity prevents young artists from ‘flying’ and older artists from being ‘down to earth.’ Young artists should work on their confidence and the older ones on their humility.

Igor Babailov

The hallmark of insecurity is bravado.

Brandon Sanderson

Guys have a level of insecurity and vulnerability that’s exponentially bigger than you think. With the primal urge to be alpha comes extreme heartbreak. The harder we fight, the harder we fall.

John Krasinski

People confuse ego, lust, insecurity with true love.

Simon Cowell

Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away.

Ray Bradbury

I always felt that I had anxiety of survival in terms of livelihood even when I was making plenty of money.

Stacy London

Creative people are very insecure people because they don’t know whether people like them or are in awe of them. That insecurity always comes out. It makes them a better actor, I feel.

Presis Khambatta

I have my moments of insecurity and figuring out what’s going on and what I’m supposed to do, but if you don’t push yourself, you’re not growing, so where do you go?

Selena Gomez

Happiness is only available with total acceptance of who you are, including all your fears, worries, and anxiety. It will be there for you when you can see your own inner beauty. You cannot achieve happiness without using your past, your flaws, insecurities, and imperfections in a positive way. It is about letting go and detaching from unhealthy people, ideas, and lifestyle choices, and replacing them with interdependent, pro-active ways of thinking and responding.

Lucinda Bassett

The question is whether or not our insecurities are substantial enough to hurt, limit, or even distract us from profound effectiveness or fulfillment of purpose.

Beth Moore

Whenever you feel unloved, unimportant or insecure remember to whom you belong.

Ephesians

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.

Alan Cohen

For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity.

Joyce Cary

I’m actively working hard on learning to appreciate yourself no matter what. If what someone else says can easily derail you, it means your sense of self isn’t that firmly established in the first place. It’s an inside job. You’re beautiful and worthy and totally unique. People insult each other based on their own insecurities – even though it may feel personal, it really never is. Really. Seriously.

Emma Stone

A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity.

Drew Barrymore

I have six locks on my door all in a row. When I go out, I lock every other one. I figure no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking three.

Elayce Boosler

I don’t let anyone’s insecurities, emotions, or opinions bother me. I know that if I am happy, that’s all that matters to me.

Demi Lovato

Parents can be very influential in designing those little creepy-crawlers that jump around in your mind for the rest of your life. It’s the fear of not being good enough.

Kim Basinger

An expectation is a shelter – it gives you a security feeling. So when someone breaks your expectations he is breaking your shelter, making you insecure, fearful.

Osho

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, to be gorgeous, talented, and fabulous. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won’t feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God within us. And as we let our light shine, we consciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Marianne Williamson

I had to confront my fears and master my every demonic thought about inferiority, insecurity, or the fear of being black, young, and gifted in this Western culture.

The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.

Steve Furtick

I have a very positive attitude in life. My insecurity, fear and need to know about tomorrow has fortunately eased. What is going to happen will happen anyway. So why break my head over it?

Katrina Kaif

Most bad behavior comes from insecurity.

Debra Winger

A man who goes into a restaurant and blatantly disrespects the servers shows a strong discontent with his own being. Deep down he knows that restaurant service is the closest thing he will ever experience to being served like a king.

Criss Jami

Change is always tough. Even for those who see themselves as agents of change, the process of starting a new thing can cause times of disorientation, uncertainty and insecurity.

Joyce Meyer

Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.

John Allen Paulos

Inside it drives me crazy, my insecurities could eat me alive.

Eminem

I get insecure about a lot of things. In my line of work, unfortunately, your appearance is important, and I’m always like, ‘Am I going to the gym enough this month? Have I been taking care of myself?’ I get insecure about things from time to time.

Jesse Mccartney

It is no use. I find it impossible to work with security staring me in the face.

Sherwood Anderson

It’s insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams.

Vin Diesel

Comparison is the thief of joy.

Theodore Roosevelt

Insecurity is your intuition telling you that something’s not right.. either with them or with you.

Charles J. Orlando

I think we are all insecure, and there is nothing wrong in accepting that. But the problem arises when we try to counter this insecurity by cultivating this illusion of control, and we start taking ourselves and everything we know too seriously.

Sushant Singh Rajput

I spent too much of my life feeling insecure

Steve McQueen

I’m a combination between extreme insecurity and extreme confidence.

Dr. Seuss

Arrogance is the camouflage insecurity.

Tim Fargo

I love playing ego and insecurity combined.

Jim Carrey

He seemed to be talking about my fears, my insecurity, and my unwillingness to see what was wonderful because tomorrow it might disappear and I might suffer. The gods throw the dice, and they don’t ask whether we want to be in the game or not.

Paulo Coelho

Success can make you go one of two ways. It can make you a prima donna – or it can smooth the edges, take away the insecurities, let the nice things come out.

Barbara Walters

Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on earth which can make them come back again. We cannot develop and print a memory.

Henri Cartier-Bresson

Failure is not about insecurity. Its about lack of execution.

Jeffrey Gitomer

Uncertainty and expectation are the joys of life. Security is an insipid thing, though the overtaking and possessing of a wish discovers the folly of the chase.

William Congreve

As your insecurity becomes nourished our relationship becomes poisoned.

Dr. Steve Maraboli

What you collect for your security makes you all the more insecure.

Shri Prashant

A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity.

Robert A. Heinlein

Perhaps we just need little reminders from time to time that we are already dignified, deserving, worthy. Sometimes we don’t feel that way because of the wounds and the scars we carry from the past or because of the uncertainty of the future. It is doubtful that we came to feel undeserving on our own. We were helped to feel unworthy. We were taught it in a thousand ways when we were little, and we learned our lessons well.
