i take photos and smile a lot. sehnsucht yearing, longing. intimations of immortality. this desire for our own far-off country. the secret we cannot hide and cannot tell - a desire for something that has never appeared in our experience. our commonest expedient is to call it beauty and behave as if that had settled the matter.

If we’re going to talk, then let’s talk. Forget about what is polite or proper and delve right into what is sincere and honest. Lead me down through the labyrinth of your true, spectacular self. I am not interested in pleasantries. If you want a conversation, then let’s get lost.

Beau Taplin, Real Talk (via thatkindofwoman)

The whole point of intimacy is that you want to know things, random facts; you are driven to them because this woman has taken you captive. In romance, as in spirituality, your motives have to be selfless, driven from an authentic love for the other person.
