Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbour life.
- Carl Sagan

A tiny ripple in this vast world. Some say one individual, one ripple, one choice are so small and insignificant. Look close this tiny ripple extends outward, it touches, echos and reaches places unseen. This one ripple, individual, or choice, is very significant to our world it moves outward touching the unknown.

As Harriet followed Miss Lydgate across the lawn, she was visited by an enormous nostalgia. If only one could come back to this quiet place, where only intellectual achievement counted; if one could work here steadily and obscurely at some close-knit piece of reasoning, undistracted and uncorrupted by agents, contracts, publishers, blurb-writers, interviewers, fan-mail, autograph-hunters, notoriety-hunters, and competitors; abolishing personal contacts, personal spites, personal jealousies; getting one's teeth into something dull and durable; maturing into solidity like the Shrewsbury beeches - then, one might be able to forget the wreck and chaos of the past, or see it, at any rate, in a truer proportion. Because, in a sense, it was not important. The fact that one had loved and sinned and suffered and escaped death was of far less ultimate moment than a single footnote in a dim academic journal establishing the priority of a manuscript or restoring a lost iota subscript.
Dorothy L. Sayers, Gaudy Night

People who romanticize Lolita are so bizarre, like they mask that obsession by deeming it “coquette” aesthetic. “For the literary significance”… yeah sure. “It’s told from the abusers point of view so-”… I don’t wanna hear it.✋

i got to see how your face lit up when you caught sight of me and i never want to forget that smile. i want to keep replaying it until it’s ingrained in my mind yet it’s already starting to fade away. i didn’t know i could have that effect on people. i guess i’m more to you than i thought. i’m grateful i’m able to make you feel that way. you make it hard not to love you.

sad news i found from wikipedia:
on beauty, and outward beauty, and morality— our perception of it
The body was not so much a self-chosen expression of the self as an outward marker of inner morality, worthiness, and station.
Along with smell, a woman’s physical appearance was also indicative of her moral character. Outward physical beauty was a sign of high moral virtue, and physical ugliness was an indication of suspect morality.

waiting for a train to come by is definitely an experience
i like seeing the graffiti on the sides of trains
someone someday decided to leave their mark and moved on from it
who knows if they ever saw it again
or if they know it's still there
they just wanted to leave their mark because it's human
i want to leave that sort of mark on all the people i know
because when i'm not there, they still will have memories of me.
