Grant yourself a moment of peace, and you will understand how foolishly you have scurried about. Learn to be silent, and you will notice that you have talked too much. Be kind, and you will realize that your judgment of others was too severe. Hasten slowly, and you will soon arrive.
— Ancient Chinese proverb (via opalka)

Were we born lonely?
Have we always been waiting

In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

The most beautiful clothes that can dress a woman, are the arms of the man she loves and adores. But for those who haven’t had the fortune of finding this happiness, I am there.
— Yves Saint-Laurent (via lianemarie)
