“My job is unbearable to me because it conflicts with my only desire and my only calling, which is literature. Since I am nothing but literature and can and want to be nothing else, my job will never take possession of me, it may, however, shatter me completely, and this is by no means a remote possibility.”

― Franz Kafka, Diaries, 1910-1923

There is not enough time to learn all the thing I want to learn and know by heart, not enough time to live in all the places I want to live in and not enough time to read all of the books I want to read.

Can we please create a society where tattoos are seen as an appreciated form of living art on ones body.

I despite the fact that they are still for instance seen as a symbol of criminality. How can we call us a modern society if there are still prejudices against something as simple as that?

“Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world. It requires profound purpose larger than the self kind of understanding.”

— Plato

''The poet's eye, in fine frenzy rolling,

Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;

And as imagination bodies forth

The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen 1845

Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing

A local habitation and a name.''

- A midsummer night's dream, Act V, Scene 1, William Shakespeare

If you think quidditch players weren’t superstitious, your wrong, and if you think James wasn’t the worst outta the lot of them, you’ve got another thing coming.

James: If i don't wear my favourite socks, eat exactly two and a half waffles for breakfast, and say good morning to the piper's portrait on the fifth floor so she can wish me luck we are going to lose.

then once in a while I again bask in the unearthly way Shakespeare arranged his words.
