We can not tell what may happen to you in the strange medley of life. But we can decide what happens to us, how we take it, what we do with it and that is what really counts in the end.
Joseph Fort Newton (via thresca)

But in the end it wasn’t up to me. The big things never are. Birth, I mean, and death. And love. And what love bequeaths to us before we’re born.
Jeffrey Eugenides, Middlesex (via helplesslyamazed)
