“I don’t believe in charity. I believe in solidarity. Charity is vertical, so it’s humiliating. It goes from the top to the bottom. Solidarity is horizontal. It respects the other and learns from the other. I have a lot to learn from other people.”
—Eduardo Galeano (via transformfeminism)
The time has come for my ears to give their first listen to Now, Now.
“All these soft, warm nights going to waste when I ought to be lying in your arms under the moon- the dearest arms in all the world- darling arms that I love so to feel around me- How much longer before they’ll be here to stay? When I do get home again, you’ll certainly have a most awful time ever moving me one inch from you.”
—Zelda to Scott, 1919 (via coffeeislovely)
“I remember telephoning Robin Hankey, the secretary at the embassy in Warsaw, and saying, ‘The war’s begun’. He said, ‘Rubbish, they’re still negotiating’. And I said, ‘Can’t you hear it?’ So I hung the telephone out the window so he could listen to the Germans invading.”
—Clare Hollingworth, the first journalist to report the outbreak of World War II
“When I saw you, I fell in love. And you smiled because you knew.”
—William Shakespeare (via xcassiekilla)
“But i must admit i miss you quite terribly. The world is too quiet without you nearby. I go to bed early and rise late and feel as if i have hardly slept.”
—Lemony Snicket, The Beatrice Letters (via dysphorias)
