THE SECRET HISTORY - Donna Tartt
But how...how can you possibly justify cold-blooded murder?
I prefer to think of it as redistribution of matter.

”Before, I was paralyzed, though I didn’t really know it,’ he said. ‘It was because I thought too much, lived too much in the mind. It was hard to make decisions. I felt immobilized.”
-Henry Winter, The Secret History
"Never really been alive before, I always lived in my head. And sometimes it was easier. Hungover and half-dead"
-Back in town, Florence and the Machine

One day (soon) I'll start another reread of The Secret History, and this time I'll be writing down all descriptions of the Greek gang's and other characters's actual physical appearances from the book, because I can't take yalls depictions of Camilla in fanart and moodboards as this dainty, delicate petite girl with hair anywhere below her chin (boyish haircut? what boyish haircut? :o) and Henry as a brutal drop dead gorgeous sex on legs (and stop forgetting his scar and his bangs he covers it with)
