“I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you’ll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you’ll make something that didn’t exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom in the world right now), that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind.”
—Neil Gaiman (via foxgloves)

Judy Garland - Happy New Year
(Nat King Cole version here)
“And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been.”
—Rainer Maria Rilke (via misswallflower) [teachingliteracy:] (via trxfreely)
“I begin to realise how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good, either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.”
—My Uncle Oswald by Roald Dahl (via teeaah)
“People are afraid of themselves, nowadays. They have forgotten the highest of all duties, the duty that one owes to oneself. Of course they are charitable. They feed the hungry, and clothe the beggar. But their own souls starve, and are naked.”
—Oscar Wilde (via decrepito)
