You never know these days. Uninvited guests may force you to take an unplanned trip to an unknown destination; doesn’t hurt to be in your Sunday clothes.
― Anurag Shourie, Half A Shadow
Sundays are like confetti floating in the air in slow motion, in the evening they reach the ground and you hope a bit of wind could blow on them so they could fly a bit longer.

He looked at her. She was pretty still, with thick hair and soft eyes, and she moved so gracefully that it almost seemed as though she were gliding. He'd seen beautiful women before, though, women who caught his eye, but to his mind, they usually lacked the traits he found most desirable. Traits like intelligence, confidence, strength of spirit, passion, traits that inspired others to greatness, traits he aspired to himself.
― Nicholas Sparks, The Notebook

like a thought that absorbs in itself all the faculties of the one who is thinking.
External existence is then like a sleep of which this thought is the dream.
Under its influence, time has no more measure, space has no more distance.
― Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers
She was always daydreaming. She never wanted to live in the real world;
she always seemed to be separated from other children her age.
They couldn’t understand her or her imagination.
She was always thinking outside of the box, breaking rules,
and only following what her heart told her was right.
― Shannon A. Thompson, November Snow

Printable Vintage Fashion Illustration for Collage Art, Junk Journal, Papercrafts or Scrapbooking: Costume Party, 1870s
was pretending that everything was old hat when it was all so new,
being forced to feign the kind of nonchalance
that only comes from a lifetime of knowing and taking for granted.
Lila was a quick study, and she knew how to keep up a front;
but behind the mask of disinterest, she took in everything.
She was a sponge, soaking up the words and customs,
training herself to see something once and be able to pretend
she’d seen it a dozen—a hundred—times before.
― V.E. Schwab, A Gathering of Shadows

But love doesn't bring and never has brought happiness.
On the contrary, it's a constant state of anxiety, a battlefield;
it's sleepless nights, asking ourselves all the time
if we're doing the right thing. Real love is composed of ecstasy and agony.
