"The old man tells him how attractive war can be at the beginning. Debts, robberies, loans, contracts: war burns up every piece of paper. For some it’s like an amnesty, for others a chance at revenge.

Then houses start to burn with the children inside and everyone loses."

Foolish is very much the dad that says “but you already have one at home” while handing the store clerk a credit card.

i did all the work i wanted to today for possibly the first time ever in my life and i’m now i’m sitting here it’s nearly 8pm and i have time to watch a movie if i want but watching movies is very hard and choosing them is even harder or i could watch a few episodes of a show but what show? i still have to choose or i could just waste my time all night by switching between tabs not really ACTUALLY doing anything maybe a sprinkle of fanfic there checking my favourite news site a minimum of 20 times perhaps one or two youtube videos checking my tumblr and instagram regularly for anything new and my email as well never really settling on anything

bet it’s gonna be the last one

"I read used books because fingerprint-smudged and dog-eared pages are heavier on the eye. Because every book can belong to many lives. Books should be kept in public places and step out with passersby who’ll hold onto them for a spell. Books should die like people, consumed by aches and pains, infected, drowning off a bridge together with the suicides, poked into a potbellied stove, torn apart by children to make paper boats. They should die of anything, in other words, except boredom, as private property condemned to a life sentence on the shelf."
