aster & wisteria
Aster: What’s one of your favorite quotes?
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,There is a rapture on the lonely shore,There is society, where none intrudes,By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:I love not Man the less, but Nature more.
This is by Lord Byron and it really reaches my heart and soul. Makes a lot of sense to me as a person and a professional and it sounds even more beautiful translated to my mother language.
If all the world hated you and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved of you and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends.
This is by Charlotte Brontë and it really made me feel better after I heard it from the first time. I still need to read Jane Eyre, because I have the feeling I’ll love it.
Wisteria: How many books have you read in the past few months? What were they called?
The Raven Cycle book series, by Maggie Stiefvater.
Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs.
The Secret History, by Donna Tartt.
Hamlet, the play in five acts, by William Shakespeare.
The others I’ve been reading I have yet to finish or they were academic material. I’ve got busy in the past months and I’m not reading as many books as I want to.
