Chess isn’t always competitive. Chess can also be… beautiful. It was the board I noticed first. It’s an entire world of just 64 squares. I feel safe in it. I can control it. I can dominate it. And it’s predictable, so if I get hurt, I only have myself to blame. Anya Taylor-Joy as Beth Harmon in THE QUEEN’S GAMBIT (2020)

Sylvia Plath, from a journal entry featured in “The Unabridged Journals,” (via violentwavesofemotion)

No matter who you are, all you are ever doing is leaving or being left or acting as the impetus to leave. Again, & again, & again. This is every story. This is the trinity.
