Maybe crying is a means of cleaning yourself out emotionally. Or maybe it’s your communication of last resort; the only way to express yourself when words fail the same as when you were a baby and had no words.
— Aristotle (via slychedelic)
It’s not the load that breaks you down. It’s the way you carry it.

C.S. Lewis (via outcamethesun)
(via mirandadore)
I want to see institutions like Throop turn out perhaps ninety-nine of every hundred students as men who are to do given pieces of industrial work better than any one else can do them; I want to see those men do the kind of work that is now being done on the Panama Canal and on the great irrigation projects in the interior of this country—and the one-hundredth man I want to see with the kind of cultural scientific training that will make him and his fellows the matrix out of which you can occasionally develop a man like your great astronomer, George Ellery Hale.
— Theodore Roosevelt, on CalTech
I enjoy creating for the woman who, no matter what her years, wears my clothes with the poise of youth.
— Elsa Schiaparelli (via musingsinfemininity)
