“We will not blame him for the crimes of his ancestors if he relents the royal rights of his ancestors; but as long as he claims their rights, by virtue of descent, then, by virtue of descent, he must shoulder the responsibility for their crimes.”

— Séamas Ó Conghaile, an Edinburgh-born Irish Republican and socialist, on King George V; a sentiment that transcends time. (via tal-eire)

“I was carving my name into your side and you were calling me soft, calling me gentle. I do not think you were paying attention.”

Ghosts are not real. If you want to believe in ghosts, you should contemplate why. It is important to understand how history moves through you, because history is very real.

Belief in ghosts has always been particularly interesting to me, because its often very weak. There have been multiple instances where I've questioned someone about their belief in ghosts, only for it to be packed up and put away like a box of legos. This is interesting.

Belief in ghosts is a low risk, low investment belief. It takes up almost no money or time, and generally doesn't come up all that often. So, like a night light forgotten in some out-of-the-way wall socket, it can sit unmolested in an adult worldview for a surprising amount of time.
