“ You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.

— Erma Bombeck (via affremblequotes)

“ As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken, probably more than once, and it’s harder every time. You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You’ll fight with your best friend, and you might even fall in love with them. You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did. You’ll cry because time is passing so fast, and you’ll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too hard, and love like you’ve never been hurt, because every minute you spend mad or upset is a minute of happiness that you’ll never get.

“ Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: All of them make me laugh.

— W.H. Auden (via hrrrthrrr)

“ I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.

— Marlene Dietrich (via jessicap)
