Parsing Oranges

if i knew where i was going next, i wouldn't be taking so many naps, or reading all these books, trying to divine my future in pillowcases and stitched book bindings, lost in the small decisions of each day, only a little bit numb. i am the inevitable wanderer, the girl who always says goodbye, but never knows how to leave. -anon

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”

— Vincent van Gogh, The Letters of Vincent van Gogh (first published 1914)
