โShe is a living fire, such as I have never seen; incidentally, a fire, that despite everything, burns only for him. At the same time she is extremely tender, brave, intelligent and sacrifices everything, or if you prefer, acquires everything by sacrifice.โ
โ Franz Kafka - from a letter to Max Brod featured in the introduction of Letters to Milenaย (via watchoutforintellect)
โAt fifteen you had the radiance of early morning, at twenty you will begin to have the melancholy brilliance of the moon.โ
- F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise
โWhy be a half-finished poem in some forgotten poetโs story, when one can be an odyssey in and of herself, part magic, part villain, part Goddess, part lover.โ
โ Nikita Gill, Great Goddesses: Life Lessons from Myths and Monsters
โi want a life full of soft colours, i want to bathe in roses and drink tea mid-afternoon; i want to watch the sunlight illuminate my room through the blinds, i want to be the sun, i want a library the size of the moon and to feel true reciprocated loveโi want to love myself. i want red ribbons in my hair and long walks as the sunsets, i want to set a manโs heart on fire, i want to be fire itself. i want the pretty little things that make life fun.โ
