i dont understand people who never reread a book or rewatch a movie or series. the best art will always improve upon being revisited. girl. let it reveal more of itself to you.

"Heraclitus said, 'No man ever steps in the same river twice.' The same is true for books. The words on the page have not changed, but the eyes reading them have.

You are not the same person you were when you first read it. To reread is not repetition; it is measuring your own soul's growth against a constant backdrop.

Awaken! Enlighten! Transform!"
