“What does love mean?” Mom asked mischievously.

“To discover beauty.”

“She'd laughed, and if he could have bottled the sound and gotten drunk on it every night, he would have. It terrified him.”

“Circe, he says, it will be all right. It is not the saying of an oracle or a prophet. They are words you might speak to a child. He does not mean that it does not hurt. He does not mean that we are not frightened. Only that: we are here. This is what it means to swim in the tide, to walk the earth and feel it touch your feet. This is what it means to be alive.”

— Madeline Miller, Circe

“I was tired, it was late, I was sitting half-asleep in the back of a taxi, remembering strangely that wherever I go, you are with me, and so is he, and that as long as you both live the world will be beautiful to me.” - Beautiful World, Where Are You.

Jennifer Willough, from “The Sun Is Still A Part Of Me”, Beautiful Zero: Poems

When Emily Brönte said "You said I killed you. Haunt me then."

and when M.L Rio said "Here's the thing about lust: you don't have to like each other. Ever heard of hate sex?"

and when Achilles said  “There are no bargains between lion and men. I will kill you and eat you raw.”

and when Oscar Wilde said "Everything in the world is about sex except sex.  Sex is about power."

and when Donna Tartt said "There was a horrible, erratic thumping in my chest, as if a large bird was trapped inside my ribcage and beating itself to death."

?????????

Those are purely raw emotions.

Passion, love, panic, power and death are an insane combination.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

Look buddy, i’m just trying to make it to Friday.

How to become a worldly woman? How do I become more articulate and refined? I want to be able to strike up a conversation in any topic, whether it be from books, to television.

read A LOT!

talk to people with differing backgrounds with different opinions than you.

do NOT, and I repeat DO NOT allow yourself to be stuck in an echo chamber.

watch films from all over the world and really try to understand them on a deeper level.

read non-fiction work about the world we live in. botany, animals, the mind, the body, etc etc.

learn different languages and study up on the cultures of the people who speak said languages. experience their cuisine and music.

read useless facts. you never know when they won't be so useless anymore.

get offline to go out into the world and experience it. visit the water, go to the mountains, see the big parks and the small ones. take it all in.

keep up with current events but don't let it overtake your life.

ask people questions and LISTEN. hear their story. you don't have to relate to it for it to be valuable.

never give up your desire to learn. new information is constantly forming and old information is always waiting to be rediscovered by fresh eyes. keep that curious spark alive and soak up the world we are so blessed to be in.
