"The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are stronger at the broken places"
- Ernest Hemingway (via claflined)
"And another thing. Don’t ever kid yourself about loving someone. It is just that most people are not lucky enough ever to have it. You never had it before and now you have it. What you have, whether it lasts just through today and a part of tomorrow, or whether it lasts for a long life is the most important thing that can happen to a human being. There will always be people who say it does not exist because they cannot have it. But I tell you it is true and that you have it and that you are lucky even if you die tomorrow."
- Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls. (via babyredfish)
