“A Novel Is A Commodity That Fulfills A Certain Need; People Need To Buy Daydreams Like They Need To

“Do yourself a favor and learn how to walk away. When a connection starts to fade, learn how to let it go. When a person starts to mistreat you, learn how to move on … to something and someone better. Don’t waste your energy trying to force something that isn’t meant to be.”

— Reyna Biddy

“I want a bond so tight that even on bad terms u still run to me 1st.”

I’m a master of speaking silently, all my life I’ve spoken silently and I’ve lived through entire tragedies in silence.

~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky

humans are obsessed with escapism - through movies, books, music, art, daydreams. our souls really weren’t made for this world.

Adonis, tr. by Khaled Mattawa, Selected Poems

‏stay up late with me and tell me everything that’s on your mind

“To have someone understand your mind is a different kind of intimacy.”

“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. To quote from Whitman, “O me! O life!… of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless… of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?” Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be?”

― N.H. Kleinbaum, Dead Poets Society
