quixotic
exceedingly idealistic; foolishly impractical, especially in the pursuit of ideals; marked by rash lofty romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action
You see the world the way you want it to be. I see the world the way it is. You are idealistic to a fault. But I know you would never turn your back on those in need. Never close your eyes to their suffering.
Hey, if you’re gonna hold onto dreams or ideals, ya better swing for the fences.
For those we have lost. For those we can yet save.
You might act all detached from everyone, but deep down, you really do care, don’t you?
Everyone loves strength, but do you love me for my weakness?
Oh, I doubt I ever will. But as my friends have kindly reminded me, I have come this far, and that must count for something.
It's stubbornness, it's the refusal to give up, the clutching of broken shards despite the searing pain and being adamant that dammit you can still make a beautiful stained glass window out of it.
Nobody likes to change. There will always be resistance to change. And the quicker you get to that, the easier it is. It's not such a difficult thing. If you entrench yourself and go, 'by God, I will not change. I will not have this.' then you're a dead man. We're great at adaptability.
can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters.
Belittle us all you like, but we will rise again and again, and give the lie to your insults through word and deed.
I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy one, I will indulge the other.
you will have two chairs and a table and you will shut your blinds, and you will say the word love without faltering. this is a happy ending, and you do not feel guilty.
All part of my tragic-ass back story.
I won’t pretend that we have anything even approaching such a powerful connection, but I would like to think that if you were in mortal peril that I would fly to your side without hesitation…
The past always looks better than it was. It’s only pleasant because it isn’t here.
Being "manly" is convenient wording. Declaring a man should act a certain way denies him of having his own personality.
adronitis
frustration with how long it takes to get to know someone

Live life well and fully, and waste nothing.
i want to be someone else’s safety. even non-romantically. i want to be "hey can i tell you something?" i want to be "i tried something new and i’m a little scared but i wanted to show you". i want to be "i knew i could trust you"
Don't cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it.
Unlock the glass cabinet. Dust off the longing. There’s good there, buried deeply. The words never lost their meaning.
To take what steps we may, and thus mark the road for those who would follow. To strive for the best of all futures... Be this not also thy purpose?!

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things.
