Going to my three hour Latin lecture where we’re translating and analysing Cicero’s speech against Catalina, then spending my one hour break picking up the negatives of the film roll I just had developed and finishing up with a two hour lecture on early classical sculpture in my Greek archaeology course. Today is going to be vibes, honestly.

I am not arrogant enough to do it, but i want to create a group where we read a book once a month to then comment it while smoking cigarettes and drinking whiskey and scotch all the while talking about politics and philosophy

“Find meaning. Distinguish melancholy from sadness. Go out for a walk. It doesn’t have to be a romantic walk in the park, spring at its most spectacular moment, flowers and smells and outstanding poetical imagery smoothly transferring you into another world. It doesn’t have to be a walk during which you’ll have multiple life epiphanies and discover meanings no other brain ever managed to encounter. Do not be afraid of spending quality time by yourself. Find meaning or don’t find meaning but “steal” some time and give it freely and exclusively to your own self. Opt for privacy and solitude. That doesn’t make you antisocial or cause you to reject the rest of the world. But you need to breathe. And you need to be.”

— Albert Camus, from Notebooks, 1951-1959

Can any of us really claim to be happy if we haven’t danced in the rain? Held hands with the moon? Had poetry carved to our name? Had our favorite book annotated and presented as a token of full fledged alliance?

That fleabag quote about wanting someone to sit you down and tell you everything about life and stuff

“i want someone to tell me what to eat, what to like, what to hate, what to rage about, what to listen to, what band to like, what to buy tickets for, what to joke about, what not to joke about. I want someone to tell me what to believe in, who to vote for, and who to love (and how to tell them)...I just think I want someone to tell me how to live my life, Father, because so far I think l've been getting it wrong. And I know that's why people want people like you in their lives because you just tell them how to do it. You just tell them what to do and what they'll get out at the end of it. And even though I don't believe your bullshit , and I know that scientifically nothing I do makes any difference in the end anyway, I'm still scared.Why am I still scared?”
