All my friends I've known since I was really little. ~Leona Lewis
#quotes #leona-lewis #friendship #childhood

I must go on living. And, though it may be childish of me, I can't go on in simple compliance. From now on I must struggle with the world. I thought that Mother might well be the last of those who can end their lives beautifully and sadly, struggling with no one, neither hating nor betraying anyone. In the world to come there will be no room for such people. The dying are beautiful, but to live, to survive; those things somehow seem hideous and contaminated with blood. ~Osamu Dazai

For mercy has a human heart; pity, a human face; and love, the human form divine, and peace, the human dress. ~William Blake

#quotes #jean-michel-basquiat #painting #anger

We are all human beings, immigrant or non-immigrant. We all feel fear. We all love and become confused when we don't act as well as we would like to. We all get depressed and have feelings of uselessness. All of these things are true and have always been true. ~Akhil Sharma
