“…I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.”

T.S. Eliot - The Waste Land (via techbot)

“Living on pills, phone calls unmade, people unseen, pages unwritten, money unmade, pressure piling up all around to make some kind of breakthrough and get moving again. Get the gum off the rails, finish something, croak this awful habit of not ever getting to the end - of anything.”

Hunter S. Thompson, Songs of the Doomed (via kamslow)

“The mind that continuously goes on judging creates anguish in you. But we are taught to judge. Even those with whom we have no concern, we go on judging: this man is good, that man is bad. What business is this, what concern is it of yours? And if you knew the whole story of the man, perhaps you would have said that this act you had thought was bad was absolutely inevitable. Without this act there would have remained something incomplete in the whole story.”

Osho (via illuminatedbeing)

“I Haunted thee were the ibis nods,
From the Bracken’s crag to the Upas Tree.”

Poem by Nikola Tesla (via missspite)
