People speak sometimes about the "bestial" cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.
-Fyodor Dostoevsky

when Dostoyevsky wrote "I want to talk about everything with at least one person as I talk about things with myself"
and Ishikawa Takuboku wrote "just for once i want a love that feels like plunging my flushed cheeks into deep soft snow"
and Warsan Shire wrote "mother says there are locked rooms inside all women; kitchen of lust, bedroom of grief, bathroom of apathy. sometimes the men - they come with keys, and sometimes, the men - they come with hammers".

This was originally posted on my literature focused art account on IG/Twitter/VK (handle in picture); I’ll link to those socials this time for the links below!
