Without literature, life is hell.

Charles Bukowski (via wordsnquotes)

Her ears perked up at the familiar voice and she turns in her seat to face him. “Beast! Where did you go? Mrs. Potts and I were worried when you didn’t come down for dinner last night.”

His feet make no sound on the carpeted floor as he crosses to sit across from her. “I was… doing research. I was curious to know more about the village you come from.”

Amelia at her work bench is normal. Amelia in the fetal position at her work bench is not. “Average people are even harder to deal with than rich people…Maybe I should just go back.”

Belle approached the small weapons shop, taking a quick peek inside. She’d been meaning to get a weapon for a while now, the news, strange thing that it was, said that the Wards were getting more dangerous every day. She wanted to…protect herself. Just in case. She walked in to look through the cases. Guns and various add-ons encased in glass. She had no idea where to even start. When she saw a tuft of blonde hair from around a container, she smiled. Thank goodness. Someone to help. “Excuse me? Miss?” She moved to get a better look at the girl behind the counter, only to find her curled into herself. “Oh! Oh dear. Are you okay?” She leaned as far over the counter as the hard metal and glass would let her to get a better look at the poor thing. “I hope she’s okay…” She whispered to herself.

It wasn’t often Amelia could be caught moping like this. The girl had the bad habit of bottling things, of always remaining upbeat in the public eye no matter how she truly felt. It was a hard habit to break given it had been beaten into her during childhood. As soon as she noticed another person around, she stowed her hurt and her feelings of failure away. “Okay? I’m great! How are you, miss~?” She would avoid any unnecessary compliments, keeping in mind average people took offense at the silliest things. “You look like you’re–!” Ready to buy? What if she isn’t? Drat! “In my store! Which you are! Physically, you are here, and that is a fact you cannot deny!” She quickly poised herself in front of the glass case, smiling almost unnaturally wide. “How can I help you today? Not that you need any help, but if you wanted some, I would! Within reason, I mean. Right?”

We have all hurt someone tremendously, whether by intent or accident. we have all loved someone tremendously, whether by intent or accident. it is an intrinsic human trait, and a deep responsibility, i think, to be an organ and a blade. but, learning to forgive ourselves and others because we have not chosen wisely is what makes us most human. we make horrible mistakes. it’s how we learn. we breathe love. it’s how we learn. and it is inevitable.

I want to be magic. I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile. I want to be a friend of elves and live in a tree. Or under a hill. I want to marry a moonbeam and hear the stars sing. I don’t want to pretend at magic anymore. I want to be magic.

Charles de Lint (via wordsnquotes)
