This is a blog about growing up, I suppose.

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back carelessly into the past."

   ~   F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby

"Isn’t it odd how much fatter a book gets when you’ve read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells, and then, when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower, both strange and familiar."

   ~   Cornelia Funke (via skeletales)

"There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars."

   ~   Jack Kerouac, On the Road  (via kaleidoscopedreams)
