“Everyone’s living in their own little world. When I was 15 or 16 at school, I used to talk with my mates and we’d say: ‘As soon as we leave, we’ll be down in London, doing something nobody else is doing.’ Then I used to work in a factory, and I was really happy because I could daydream all day. All I had to do was push this wagon with cotton things in it up and down. But I didn’t have to think. I could think about the weekend, imagine what I was going to spend my money on, which LP I was going to buy… You can live in your own little world.”

“Eventually scientists will discover something that explains ghosts, just like they discovered electricity, which explained lightning, and it might be something about people’s brains, or something about the earth’s magnetic field, or it might be some new force altogether. And then ghosts won’t be mysteries. They will be like electricity and rainbows and nonstick frying pans.”

“All these thousands of miles later, all these different people I’ve been, and it’s still the same story.
Why is it you feel like a dope if you laugh alone, but that’s usually how you end up crying?
How is it you can keep mutating and still be the same deadly virus?” —Chuck Palahniuk (via bloodisthenewblackk)

“I didn’t have any friends at school, didn’t want any. I felt better being alone. I sat on a bench and watched the others play and they looked foolish to me.”
—Charles Bukowski (via periferie)
“I hate slick and pretty things. I prefer mistakes and accidents. Which is why I like things like cuts and bruises – they’re like little flowers. I’ve always said that if you have a name for something, like ‘cut’ or ‘bruise,’ people will automatically be disturbed by it. But when you see the same thing in nature, and you don’t know what it is, it can be very beautiful.”
—David Lynch (via expose)
