“Some things are too terrible to grasp at once. Other things — naked, sputtering, indelible in their horror — are too terrible to really grasp ever at all. It is only later, in solitude, in memory that the realization dawns: when the ashes are cold; when the mourners have departed; when one looks around and finds oneself — quite to one’s surprise — in an entirely different world.”
— Donna Tartt, The Secret History

Dark academia is the thirst for knowledge. The need to know things, no matter what it is. You can read The secret history, or a marvel comic, listen to classical music, or pop. As long as you have a passion for knowledge and learning, as long as you value intelligence and curiosity, then you can do whatever makes you happy. Dark academia is not a look, its about who you are as a person.
