"There’s nothing holy anymore, nothing sane nor sensible. The world’s turned bad, and so have I." (Electra)
“I ask you again / You who watch / How can there ever be any ending but this? First silence / Then darkness.” (Medea)
Electra with Kristin Scott Thomas and Medea with Helen McCrory are the best stage productions I’ve ever seen. So powerful, moving and heartbreaking. I adore British actresses.
Life always give us exactly the teacher we need at every moment. This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every obnoxious supervisor, every illness, every loss, every moment of joy or depression, every addiction, every breath. Every moment is the guru.
Charlotte Joko Beck (via emotional-algebra)

Caxton, Preface to Le Morte Darthur
