"From the moment we enter crying, to the moment we leave dying,"

The difference in aesthetics when it comes to both of the books I'm currently working on- 🥲

Thinking about this.

"Do you understand the violence it took to become this gentle?"

Dead Poets Society

-1989

In my Solitude ♡

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."

"I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind, which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet."

Sylvia Plath, 'The Bell Jar'

It is is better to know one book intimately than a hundred superficially.

Words and ideas can change the world~

"Carpe Diem! Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary."

- Robin Williams as John Keating in Dead Poets Society

Beauty is terror.

"Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones I did not."

Cubitum Eamus?

"Does such a thing as "The Fatal Flaw", that showy dark crack running down the middle of a life, exist outside Literature? I used to think it didn't. Now I think it does. And I think mine is this: A morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs."

- The Secret History, Donna Tartt
