Salutations, mortal! I am Rhena and I welcome you to my tiny little spot in this side of the Web. What used to be a site filled with reblogs, you might find this more personalized now with my list of watched movies. I occasionally post some quotes too which I find suitable to my liking. There. Be my guest!

Great books are the ones that are urgent, life-changing, the ones that crack open the reader’s skull and heart.

Siri Hustvedt (via thefearsarepapertigers)

We waste so many days waiting for weekend. So many nights wanting morning. Our lust for future comfort is the biggest thief of life.

Joshua Glenn Clark (via perfectlycontradicted)

I swear I am a frustrated writer. But in the unsatisfied sense, not discouraged. I will continue to write even if they turn out to be crap.

I think that writing is very difficult, but so is any job carefully executed.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.

"A poem needs understanding through the senses. The point of diving into a lake is not immediately to swim to the shore but to be in the lake, to luxuriate in the sensation of water. You do not work the lake out, it is an experience beyond thought. Poetry soothes and emboldens the soul to accept the mystery." Bright Star [2009] 3.13.13

"Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. What we did was wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. You see us as a brain, an athlete, a basket case, a princess and a criminal." The Breakfast Club [1985] 3.10.13

“Let us welcome the word that God gives us today. His words are for those of us who carry in our heart’s desires, dreams, plans, but also worries, problems and fears. Of all the things, maybe what frightens us are these new times; the unprecedented situation, the waiting, the length of which is unknown, but which asks us for a new heart, a new answer which God himself suggests in these words: Humility, the wisdom to realize that we need God." Habemus Papam [2011] 2.17.13
