Whale’s End

In the reflection of your eyes I thought I saw myself someone who might be absolved, or redeemed. I realize now it is because both you and I were somewhat naïve. You do not know who I am, not truly, and I do not fault you for that because you never could, and I could never know you, not truly. All I will ever be to you is an image and perhaps a sensation. I am a phantom to you, and I am sorry that I ever stained your memory. But, having insufficiently begged for your forgiveness, I must now lament selfishly. Redemption does not exist. When I lay in the dirt that will be my grave, the silence of death will not have erased what horrible acts I have committed. No punishment will rob me of my sin nor will good deed relieve me of it. What am I to do, then? Walk into hell while lifting others into heaven? I will try. I will.

With such a hell in your heart and your head, how can you live? How can you love?

Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov (via nightlyquotes)

A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for.

Don’t let us forget that the causes of human actions are usually immeasurably more complex and varied than our subsequent explanations of them.

Erosion of Hope

Oh, what depths of desire lie within me

Almost unbearable

The world is a broken promise

I can't see past the gloom

Eventually, things which make and things which break 

Will be not and without
