If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.
-Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
#Man sure has a high tolerance before going insane, otherwise I can't imagine how can he even start writing a word.
And the most terrifying question of all may be just how much horror the human mind can stand and still maintain a wakeful, staring, unrelenting sanity.”
Stephen King, Pet Sematary.
“why do you have a gap in your resume” idk why is there a gap in your staff. worry about that
— Susan Sontag, from “Death Kit,” (1967) (via lunamonchtuna)
one of my favorite things to do in limited perspective is write sentences about the things someone doesn't do. he doesn't open his eyes. he doesn't reach out. i LOVE sentences like that. if it's describing the narrator, it's a reflection of their desires, something they're holding themselves back from. there's a tension between urge and action. it makes you ask why they wanted or felt compelled to do that, and also why they ultimately didn't. and if it's describing someone else, it tells you about the narrator's expectations. how they perceive that other person or their relationship. what they thought the other person was going to do, or thought the other person should have done, but failed to. negative action sentences are everything.
Mannnn lsg is owning srh. Feeling sad :(
