Marina Tsvetaeva, from Earthly Signs: Moscow Diaries, 1917-1922; “A Night in a Commune”

“Maybe sometimes, we are the ones breaking our own hearts. We walk into a situation, get attached to someone all by choice. And then we let them break our hearts, because we’re the ones who gave them the opportunity to.”

“Sometimes love is just doing things without having to be asked, making a cup of tea for someone as they’re working, packing an extra lunch because you know they’re rushed for time. Love doesn’t have to be expressed in grand gestures, to me, the little gestures of love matter more.”

“If I have learned anything over this last year it’s that you have to live your own life too so that if something we hoped for doesn’t work out, you still have two legs to stand on, you still have your own path.”

“The deeper the wound, the more private the pain.”

“My soul chose yours. And a soul doesn’t just forget that.”

“The sun watches what I do. But the moon knows all my secrets.”

“The world is made up of people who try for things and people who sit on the sidelines watching them.”

“I told him he could come and find me if he ever changed his mind,“ she said, “but I never heard from him again. “So you see, sometimes you offer people choices hoping that they’ll choose you. Sometimes you offer them choices knowing that they never will.””

“No matter what I say no matter what I do in the end they’ll judge me anyway. I don’t care anymore, they don’t know me this is my life and I’ll live it the way I want.”

“One day, you heart will stop beating, and none of your fears will matter. What will matter is how you lived.”

“Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.”
