It wasn’t only wickedness and scheming that made people unhappy, it was the confusion and misunderstanding; above all, it was the failure to grasp the simple truth that other people are as real as you.

Ian McEwan, Atonement (via indigoday)

If this isn’t the truth, then I don’t know what is.

Tonight, most people will be welcomed home by jumping dogs and squealing kids. Their spouses will ask about their day and tonight they’ll sleep. The stars will wheel forth from their daytime hiding places. And one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over.

Ryan Bingham, played by George Clooney from “Up in the Air(2009)”


A closing monologue from the movie that’s been on my mind a lot lately. People have drawn different conclusions about the quote. To me, the monologue appears to acknowledge that there are people content with company, but he has found his own niche of contentment without them. I like to think that’s the place where I am right now; just “one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest.”
