“Be serene. Take care of your body. Love human beings, be merciful toward them, tolerate them. Do not forget our words, walks, the pine trees, mountains, and stars that, despairing and blissful, we saw together.”
— Nikos Kazantzakis, from a letter to Eleni Samiou written c. July 1924
White.
Petals float on it, a patchwork blanket.
Cherry Blossom.
Schofield is swept through the white petals. Schofield raises an arm from the water and sees the petals clinging to him.
Blake.

“A person who “cries for the moon” wants too much—wants, in fact, more wanting—weeps into the lack. You can’t make a wish upon the moon.”

the truest example of big dick energy i’ve ever seen in the ancient world is that one time that philip II of macedon (yknow, that philip) told the spartans to submit to him, because if he entered their land with an army he’d destroy them, and the spartans just sent back a message that said “if”
The closing lines of The Great Gatsby, perhaps the most enigmatic in American literature, handwritten by F. Scott Fitzgerald himself.
“February is nearly always melancholy.”

excuse me if this makes very little sense as i have been drinking and it is almost eleven pm on a wednesday but today i walked into my favourite cafe and the frenchman who makes my coffee, didier, told me about how he had just discovered that the woman who had left as I came in happened to live on the same street as his brother, “isn’t the world remarkable?” he said to me. I laughed, “don’t you wonder about how many people you meet on a daily basis that you have something in common with without realising?”
Tonight I had beers with a couple of guys, they were old friends. “How long have you known each other?” I asked. They laughed, “guess!” Turns our they shared a wetnurse, a connection their mothers didn’t discover until they became friends years later.
As I walked to the train I texted my housemate to ask where she was, if she wanted to meet up before we headed home. Suddenly I heard my name called as she ran across the station towards me. “Oh how strange, I just messaged you!”
Sometimes the world feels very large and our differences seem unbridgeable. Other days we run into one another over and over again, and I am glad to recognise friends.
“I am troubled and harsh and hopeless. Though I have love inside me. But I don’t know how to use love. Sometimes it scratches like barbs.”

Borderline Disney prince James from IWWV because apparently it’s canon, too.
dear god the sheer magic of being so invested in a book you just sit and read half of it feverishly without any ability to stop, just gulping down word after word like it's water in a desert and your eyes aren't fast enough for your mind and when you reach the last page you look up and realize you're not decades and miles away but in the space of your own room,,,, truly unmatched by any other human experience
Three years ago today. I love this bit of video. Not sure why.

The loneliness is suffocating. At all hours, a ringing in my ears - that undertone. In the store, in the shower, in front of the people I love. Lonely like a fist in the mouth, like netting in my diaphragm, like a rotted tooth. Everything I put in my body just feels like cotton, all smooth and numb and unsatisfying. Who am I even looking for. What do I seek. What went to bed and never woke up inside me.
when hozier said “but i swear i thought i dreamed her” and when ronan lynch said “maybe i dreamt you” and when andrew minyard said “you are a pipe dream” and when harry styles said “she lives in daydreams with me”
