Meditations In An Emergency, Cameron Awkward-Rich

“…And if we won’t burn together, I’ll burn alone.”

— Bret Easton Ellis, The Rules of Attraction

Like the sound of dew, the end of the day brings evening; the kite erases the scent of the sunshine; when all the colors of the world are faded, the manuscript is arranged, the fireflies and their colors flicker in that story; all the birds come home - all the rivers end this life’s works; there is only darkness, and she sits in front of me, Banalata Sen.

- Jibananda Das, Banalata Sen

স্বপ্নের দীপ্তি ছুড়ে ফেলতে হলো গাঙে

ডুবে যায় ঊষার সাথে সূর্য-শুকতারা

নিভে যায় সব আলো, জোনাকি-চন্দ্র-তারা।

Dreams' lamp made to be thrown in the sea,

To drown with the dawn, sun and Venus

To dim with the light of the fireflies, moon and stars.

“There are some things about myself I can’t explain to anyone. There are some things I don’t understand at all. I can’t tell what I think about things or what I’m after. I don’t know what my strengths are or what I’m supposed to do about them. But if I start thinking about these things in too much detail the whole thing gets scary. And if I get scared I can only think about myself. I become really self- centered, and without meaning to, I hurt people. So I’m not such a wonderful human being.”

— Haruki Murakami, The Elephant Vanishes

Dreams flooded over me; I lay weary and hopeless in my bed.

Franz Kafka

I wanted to be that girl. . . . . .

“Many things interested her, and nothing satisfied her entirely.”

— Ivan Turgenev, Fathers and Sons (via books-n-quotes)

"Such aching mystery hides, in your stardust-glimmer eyes."

~John Mark Green // Taste the Wild Wonder

“There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong.”

— Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey (via thebookquotes)
