How I and the Rest of the World View Sir
I know the world will not recognize my efforts, he said to himself,
proud of being misunderstood.
After all, that was the price every genius had to pay.

Cave
Her voice is filled with distant sonorities, like reverberations in a cave:
now you are at the place of annihilation, now you are at the place of annihilation.
And she is herself a cave full of echoes, she is a system of repetitions, she is a closed circuit.
~Angela Carter, The Lady of the House of Love

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
I loved you. I was a pentapod monster, but I loved you.
I was despicable and brutal, and turpid, and everything, mais je t'aimais, je t'aimais!
And there were times when I knew how you felt,
and it was hell to know it,
my little one. -
I am loving this book
I have nothing but love for this gift of Watership Down from Sir:
"I have learned that with creatures one loves, suffering is not the only thing for which one may pity them.
A rabbit who does not know when a gift has made him safe is poorer than a slug,
even though he may think otherwise himself."
- Richard Adams, Watership Down

A Bit Stressed,
So I thought I would post this:
We're in a freefall into future. We don't know where we're going.
Things are changing so fast, and always when you're going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along.
And all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act.
It's a very interesting shift of ( Read more... ) -
Handle With Care
♥ ...she pulled at my hands until I had to let go, until I was being dragged out of the hospital kicking and screaming. I did this for five minutes, until I went totally numb. Until I understood why you didn't cry, even though it hurt: there are kinds of pain you couldn't speak out loud.
♥ Sean doesn't realize that most people who offer their ( Read more... ) -
Watership Down
I am reading my birthday gift given to me by Sir so I expect many quotes will be posted:
Frith: All the world will be your enemy, Prince With a Thousand Enemies.
And when they catch you, they will kill you.
But first, they must catch you - digger, listener, runner, Prince with the swift warning.
Be cunning and full of tricks,
and your people will ( Read more... ) -
Thin Skin
My thoughts are messy, my emotions are messy, my body goes in and out at will.
The raised white scars on my arms and legs are the only aspect of my being that comes close to minimalism.
They came from chaos, but it is hard to carve frustration and unease into the flesh.
Only straight lines.

A Little Wilde for the Wild
"Any place you love is the world to you," exclaimed the pensive Catherine Wheel, who had been attached to an old deal box in early life, and prided herself on her broken heart; "but love is not fashionable any more, the poets have killed it. They wrote so much about it that nobody believed them, and I am not surprised. True love suffers, and ( Read more... ) -
Beer makes everything better
Sorry for my rant before. I just get stupid sometimes and needy. Had a beer and feel better ^--^
listen to the mustnts, child,
listen to the donts
listen to the shouldnts,
the impossibles,
the wonts
listen to the never haves,
then listen close to me…
anything can happen, child,
anything can be.
