Books are a uniquely portable magic.

I read a lot of books. And I obsess over every single one. Gush with me! Massive spoiler alert! Main blog : prettyygirlx [] Instagram // twitter // Snapchat : jsbridges93

“Gansey’s voice, ebullient and ringing, echoed off the tree-overed slopes around the field. Adam and Blue found him standing in the middle of a clear, pale path, his arms stretched out and his head tilted back as he shouted into the air.” -The Raven Boys, The Raven Cycle, Maggie Stiefvater

     We used to hear the stars, too. When people stopped talking, there was silence. Now you could shut every mouth on the planet and there’d still be a hum. Air-conditioning groaning from the vent beside you. Semi trucks hissing on a highway miles away. A plane complaining ten thousand feet above you.      Silence is an extinct word.      It bothers you, doesn’t it?

“Above all else, it is about leaving a mark that I existed: I was here. I was hungry. I was defeated. I was happy. I was sad. I was in love. I was afraid. I was hopeful. I had an idea and I had a good purpose and that’s why I made works of art.”

— Felix Gonzalez-Torres

Everything is more beautiful because we are doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again
