“The bottom line is this: You write in order to change the world, knowing perfectly well that you probably can’t, but also knowing that literature is indispensable to the world. The world changes according to the way people see it, and if you alter, even by a millimeter, the way people look at reality, then you can change it…If there is no moral question, there is no reason to write. I’m an old-fashioned writer and, despite the odds, I want to change the world”

— James Baldwin

‘a view of santi giovanni e paolo from the back’ - christian jank (1833-1888)

this painting features the exterior of a building better known as san zanipolo. it’s decorated interior is highly impressive compared to the back of the church, which is only made of bricks. the significance of this piece is how jank transformed the subject by implementing a warm atmosphere, as well as the details; a man in a gondola, two women chatting, the statue of the winged lion of saint mark and the small dog on the stairs.

One of my favorite tropes is character with a nasty toxic personality who tries very hard to do the right thing anyway

I like my protagonists sad, tired, bitter, fully convinced they will never get the recognition they deserve, but they still gotta get up in the morning and be a good person

I LOVE unwitting oaths in fiction. there’s nothing like a character swearing something only for their promise to press down upon them in ways they couldn’t have predicted and warp them and the story until they’re unrecognizable

i do not have to be afraid of the future because when i look to the past i see now that my present is more loving and more fulfilling than i could have ever hoped to imagine ❣️
