~"And if beauty is terror," said Julian, "then what is desire? We think we have many desires, but in fact we only have one. What is it?"
"To live," said Camilla.
"To live forever," said Bunny, chin cupped in palm.
The teakettle began to whistle.

there’s something so beautifully ironic about reading literature about the follies of those who live lives of aestheticism, and then committing your life to that very same idea.
Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all /
                Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.

Bunny Corcoran: No but I'd use it against you all the time, like "are you gonna do the dishes or do I need to make a phone call?"

yes yes humans are multifaceted and the dark academia aesthetic is quite problematic if you look at it from a critical perspective however… saltburn has consumed my entire being and i have been reminded of my morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs (and my obsession with well-read intellectual men)
