Morrie Schwartz Aphorisms
“Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do.”
“Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it.”
“Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others.”
“You have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it.”
“Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.”
“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they’re chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”
“Love is the only rational act.”
“Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”
“Love is so supremely important. As our great poet Auden said, ‘Love each other or perish.’“
“Accept who you are and revel in that.”
“You have to find what’s good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now.”
“You can’t substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship.”
“Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.”
“The big things – how we think, what we value – those you must choose yourself. You can’t let anyone – or any society – determine those for you.”
“We don’t see what we could be. We should be looking at our potential, stretching ourselves into everything we can become.”
“Be compassionate and take responsibility for each other. If we only learned those lessons, this world would be so much better a place.”
“You can’t get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened…you need to make peace with yourself and everyone around you.”
“You live on in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here.”
“Death ends a life, not a relationship.”
tell me why this budgetless gay youtube series made for fun by a group of friends has the best editing and writing of anything i’ve watched in a year.
also tell me how this single scene can contain every single one of the top three most iconic lines in history.

Lyrics in Faroese:
Trøllabundin eri eg eri eg
Galdramaður festi meg festi meg
Trøllabundin djúpt í míni sál í míni sál
Í hjartanum logar brennandi bál brennandi bálTrøllabundin eri eg eri eg
Galdramaður festi meg festi meg
Trøllabundin inn í hjartarót í hjartarót
Eyga mítt festist har ið galdramaður stóðEnglish translation:
Spellbound am I, am I
The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me
Spellbound deep in my soul, in my soul
In my heart burns a smouldering fire, smouldering fireSpellbound am I, am I
The wizard has enchanted me, enchanted me
Spellbound in my heart’s root, my heart’s rootDid anyone else just get the shivers? Cuz I’m definitely getting the shivers.
Btdubs, the singer is Eivør Pálsdóttir.

hello, yes, I love space
Space Tourism/Travel Posters: Planets of our Solar System
Y'ALL. NEPTUNE IS DONE. WE MADE IT.
I am SO, SO excited about this series. It was a very ambitious project, and I poured a lot of time, love, and effort into it. It really tested my skills, and I am super proud of the results.
PLEASE LOOK AT THEM AND BE IMPRESSED.
Thank you so much for all of the replies, reblogs, likes, and asks you’ve sent me about this series over the last couple months. Your support and encouragement mean the world to me!
There are a few more posters still to come: Pluto and a couple other dwarf planets are in varying stages of progress. And I’ve gotten a handful of questions about whether I might include exoplanets or other space probes in future poster designs–I don’t have specific plans for those at this time, but I do mean to keep making posters in this style, so keep an eye out!
These illustrations are available as posters, shirts, and a couple other things in my shop. And since I’ve gotten this question: The cheapest way to own all of them is by buying stickers–they’re only a few bucks, and Redbubble discounts stickers pretty steeply when you buy several at once.
If you like this series, you’ll also like the rest of my 8bit space art! I try to post about one new piece each week, and keep a pretty steady queue space pixel art reblogged from other artists.
Check out my Redbubble store here, or just follow me for more space pixels on your dash!
