I have a contribution to make. I am not just taking up space in this life. I can add something to the lives I touch. I don’t like everything I know about myself, and I’ll never be satisfied, but nobody’s perfect.
Lauren Bacall. (via zacheser)
(via force-ofnature)
You’re spending your life, talking, writing things, getting bills through, missing what seems natural. Still, there’s the mind of the widow — the affections; those you leave untouched. But you waste your own. I would point out that a human being is not a set of compartments, but an organism. Imagination, Miss; use your imagination; that’s where you fail. Conceive the world as a whole.
