Quote

Do not talk about giftedness, inborn talents! One can name great men of all kinds who were very little gifted. They acquired greatness, became “geniuses” (as we put it), through qualities the lack of which no one who knew what they were would boast of: they all possessed that seriousness of the efficient workman which first learns to construct the parts properly before it ventures to fashion a great whole; they allowed themselves time for it, because they took more pleasure in making the little, secondary things well than in the effect of a dazzling whole.

Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human, 163

so i don’t think i’ve ever seen Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, even on tv, but i know some of the speeches.

especially "over thy wounds now do i prophesy"

in those days there was a lot of animal sacrifice to their imaginary friends like Mars and Venus (the idols, not the planets). so Mark Anthony is speaking as if he were a priest foretelling the future by looking at the intestines of the sacrificed animal.

so if i were acting it, i'd put the emphasis on "thy", and perhaps a bitterly ironic tone of voice, drawing attention to the animal nature of someone who had been 'pontifex maximus', the high priest of Rome.

there are of course parallels in Shakespeare's time, it is a challenge to the ‘authority' of the Roman Catholic church. over 'thy' wounds…

Broken beautiful people// Women are always still standing//Dream big, little bird.

No pude decidirme por qué título elegir, y elegí los tres, porque los tres son una absoluta genialidad.

En Daisy Jones & The Six, al igual que en los Siete Maridos de Evelyn Hugo, nos encontramos con personajes que fueron únicos, excepcionales, gloriosos, épicos para su época y que se nos presentan extremadamente humanos, errantes, simples, relatable. Nos encontramos con mujeres que se apoyan entre sí, sin imortar qué, nunca compiten, se admiran y se entienden, porque comprenden lo que implica ser mujeres en un mundo de hombres. Mujeres que luchan por sus deseos. Mujeres que no ceden por los hombres, que dicen que no, que se priorizan. ¡Mujeres con curvas! Mujeres con ascendencia latinoamericana. Mujeres madres. Mujeres talentosas.

Taylor Jenkins Reid nos muestra personas narcisistas y hombres machistas. Nos muestra el egoísmo en su estado puro, la vida en toda su crudeza. Porque la vida puede ser muy cruda, y tenemos la ilusión de que podemos controlarla. Antes de leer este libro, tenía la idea de que realmente uno puede controlar sus sentimientos, de que en la vida hay un único amor, de que amamos por niveles y una sola persona a la vez ocupa el de la media naranja. Y realmente lo creía. Pero, de la nada, en esta novela, se me presenta una nueva realidad: una persona profundamente enamorada de su pareja, de su familia, que se enamora perdidamente de alguien más, alguien que parece ser su alma gemela. Y de repente, ten encontrás deseando que se vaya a la mierda la monogamia (yo! que amo la monogamía) porque el amor que se tienen es tan pero tan grande, que ¡sufrís por él! Ellos sufren y el lector sufre. Pero en este caso, los personajes son un poco más responsables en ese sentido (o no, o tienen miedo de afrontar sentimientos tan profundos).

Pero también nos enseña que hay cosas que sí podemos controlar, con la ayuda y el amor necesarios. Como el no dañarnos a nosotrxs mismxs, el no determinar nuestra vida eterna, el no limitarnos al presente dañino, como si no hubiera más esperanzas, como si no pudiéramos cambiar y mejorar. ¡La gente cambia! Sin importar cuán horribles puedan ser, basta con relacionarse con las personas adecuadas que quieran lo mejor para vos, que busquen tu bienestar. Porque con una sola persona así, que te ame bien, con amor del bueno, es suficiente.

¡El amor es bueno! no es una pesadilla, no es una tormenta eléctrica, no es violento. Es paz, es bienestar, es inspirador, motivador.

Y también es aceptación, es paciencia, es sacrificio, es empatía.

Y puede ser un poquito desgarrador cuando no es correspondido.

SPOILER ALERT.

Y to be honest, me quedé un poquito decepcionada con el final. Porque a mi me gusta que triunfe el amor, siempre. No la fucking comodidad, la costumbre.

Y realmente creo que Daisy y Billy se amaban, y no era sólo un capricho o pasión. Y que Camila los separe me indignó. Porque entiendo que quiera proteger a su familia, pero si tanto ama a su marido y él CLARAMENTE AMA A ALGUIEN MÁS, no debería anteponer su deseo egoísta de que se quede con ella. Pero again, Camila es humana, es tóxica. Y eso es lo que hace Taylor Jenkins Reid, nos presenta humanos demasiado humanos. Y bueno, Daisy se fue y mejoró toda su vida, así que fue una gran decisión, porque Billy la juzgaba y tampoco estaba en su mejor momento. Muuuy narcisista that bitch.

En fin, excelente novela para seguir tratando de entender la naturaleza de las relaciones humanas y la profundidad de la mente y las emociones humanas.

5/5 *****

PD: frases épicas de regalo.

«I had absolutely no interest in being somebody else's muse. I am not a muse. I am the somebody. End of fucking story.»

«Confidence is being okay being bad, not being okay being good.»

«The only thing between this moment of calm and the biggest tragedy of my life was me choosing not to do it.»

«But loving somebody isn't perfection and good times and laughing and making love. Love is forgiveness and patience and faith and every once in a while, it's a gut punch. That's why it's a dangerous thing, when you go loving the wrong person.»

In every misfortune or discomfort man sees something for which he must make somebody else suffer, no matter who—in this way he finds out the amount of power still remaining to him; and this consoles him.

to any americans who feel "paralyzed" and "dont know what to do" to help with gaza:

reading a fucking book. i beg of you.

in a time of knowledge suppression is it your duty to arm yourself with knowledge.

read about americas occupations in the middle east.

read about 9/11 from outside of america and see how they inflicted senseless harm and violence to countless amounts of people and have been suppressing your rights for the past 2 fucking decades.

read about any of the countless wars from the past 30 years. especially from a civilian's. and the victims and survivors' perspective. listen to the horror stories and do not plug your fucking ears as to what your country is doing.

and read about fucking gaza and palestine and keep up with what is happening no matter how "sad" or "uncountable" you might get.

dont look away from this.

you dont have the right to be comfortable during countless active genocides.

if you're knowledgeable, you're powerful, and our current state doesnt fucking want that.

you have the power to change things if you open your eyes and scream to the world.

wake the fuck up.

Edit: please check the reblogs there are readings and ways to help

#og #truly if youre not about it your against it and i dont fuck with you because you're complacent #wake the fuck up #we're all responsible and dont you dare say you're not #americans need to stop living in the world with their eyes closed and their ears covered #look at what your fucking 'glorious country' is doing to people #everyone should be against america no fucking exceptions because america is violent and evil and needs to be stopped #then read about what america has done to the natives of their land #radicalize yourself #decolonize your mind #free palestine #land back #palestine will be free #theres too many fucking movements of just the past couple years all happening at once to act like the world is fucking fine #we are in a human rights CRISIS #WAKE THE FUCK UP PLEASE

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

#instant conversation enders for my multiple youth pastor cousins #don’t say it (I’m gonna say it)#The Child is The Price #but i mean come on #as someone who isn't actually even christian the real-life historical version of this is still cursed as fuck #i mean we know that jesus was a person who existed. whatever circumstances he was born in #its terrifyingly ominous to imagine being so unaware of the affect your child will have on the future of humanity #time itself will one day be counted around your birth of him #and all because he will suffer an excruciatingly painful death that you will not be able to prevent #not only that. but regardless of his or your intentions #regardless of whether there is a god #for millenea unfathomable millions will have blood spilled and will spill blood in his name #atrocities will be committed that you cannot even conceive of #and all on his and your behalf #you love your child. its beautiful. but there's horror in what you've done. because everyone else will love him too #and what's more dangerous than that?

We praise or find fault, depending on which of the two provides more opportunity for our powers of judgment to shine.

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

“That’s what I’m saying!!!”
