“The Shire had seldom seen so fair a summer, or so rich an autumn: the trees were laden with apples, honey was dripping in the combs, and the corn was tall and full.”

@fictiondaily mission 02: nostalgic reads — little women by louisa may alcott

“women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. and they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. i’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.”

[facinaoris]

A farmer wants his son to be afraid of beautiful women, so that he will not leave home too soon, so he tells a story about how one drowned his brother’s cousin’s friend in a lake, not because he was a pig who deserved to be drowned, but because beautiful women are bad, and also witches.

“for us, everything was a performance.” a small, private smile catches me off guard and i glance down, hoping he won’t see it. “everything poetic.”

This is true love. Do you think this happens every day?

Every single one of us is missing something. We are all too powerful, too extraordinary, and don’t you see it’s because we’re riddled with vacancies? We are empty and trying to fill, lighting ourselves on fire just to prove that we are normal - that we are ordinary. That we, like anything, can burn.
