QUOTE OF THE DAY ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ “Pablo Picasso”
(via wildeyoungpoet)
"In my body and in my soul I realized that I greatly need sin, I needed lust, vanity, the striving for goods, and I needed the most shameful despair to learn how to give up resistance, to learn how to love the world, to stop comparing the world with any world that I wish for, that I imagine, with any perfection that I think up; I learned to let the world be as it is, and to love it and to belong to it gladly."
