I will literally never get over how Jane Austen, in 1813, wrote a man accepting rejection by saying “well women always play hard to get so I’ll take your no as a yes”. And this is still accurate to this day.

I also hate people to ask cheerfully how you are when they know you’re feeling like hell and expect you to say ‘fine’.

The way a small drop can cause soft waves in the entire ocean is also the way kind words are able to touch someone’s heart completely.

A major Hollywood milestone has been met, and it’s been a long time coming. Ava DuVernay became mighty high in demand, fielding interest from a variety of projects as wide-ranging as Marvel’s Black Panther to an original sci-fi tale from the mind of Colin Trevorrow. Eventually she landed on an adaptation of A Wrinkle of Time at Disney as her next project, and as the film’s pre-production continues, we’ve now learned that it marks a genuinely new piece of history: DuVernay has become the first African American woman to ever direct a film with a budget over $100 million.

This is aweome!!! A Wrinkle In Time is one of my all time favorite books.
