"Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it’s a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it’s a way of making contact with someone else’s imagination after a day that’s all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss."

What
In an ideal world, Zooey Deschanel wouldn’t be quoted. EVER.
I’m at the point in my life where I just really don’t understand unmotivated people. Like, I can’t actually comprehend it. You wake up in the early morning and start doing. Did you want something in life? Well fucking take it. Did you need more meaning? Find it. Is there a place you wish to go? Start walking. Your. Time. Is. Running. Out.
If you never made your dreams happen then you probably never wanted them all that bad in the first place.
"When you’re president, as opposed to the head of a private equity firm, then your job is not simply to maximize profits. Your job is to figure out how everybody in the country has a fair shot… And so if your main argument for how to grow the economy is ‘I knew how to make a lot of money for investors,’ then you’re missing what this job is about."

Poverty in the streets of Paris, a hungry baby reaching out its arms for food as the french people and hundreds of tourists carelessly passed them by.
I thought I’d be somewhere different by now. I thought I’d be someone different by now, but at the end of the day, week, month, year I am just my mother’s daughter.
