Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.

The forests are very old. The forests are older than man. They have seen the gods die. And man is naked in a forest of dust, dry leaves and roads covered with leaves and dust.
— Paul Celan (via interruptions)
I am a product of long corridors, empty sunlit rooms, upstairs indoor silences, attics explored in solitude, distant noises of gurgling cisterns and pipes, and the noise of wind under the tiles. Also, of endless books.
— C. S. Lewis (via amorette)

Albert Einstein

Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.

I don’t see how people can dislike the rain so much — it makes being indoors a hundredfold lovelier, accentuating the homeliness of windows, floorboards, doors ajar and creaking stairs. Sofas, bathed in gold lamplight, become day-long havens for books, blankets and thicker jumpers, and there is nothing to do but rest in comfort, warmth and quiet pleasance. 

nostracapulus:

welcome to another exciting round of Avoid Everyone You Know where each contestant is alloted exactly one week to accomplish the following three tasks to their best knowledge:

(1) locate a café and/or restaurant with a clientele either extremely below or extremely above their own age group so that the chance of running into acquaintances is as low as possible (penalties are awarded for familiar faces)

(2) arrange stylish pyjama ensembles fit for solo indoor activities (points are awarded for the number of different activities performed during the week) which can also double as ‘going-out clothes’ for emergency trips to the supermarket to buy milk, cereal and iced coffee

(3) expand your knowledge of conspiracy theories, art epochs and rare diseases using only the Internet and their own neurotic imagination — there may or may not be a pop quiz at the end of the week (bonus points are awarded for every paranoid, deeply profound and hypochondriac exclamation)

Contestants are also strongly encouraged to develop their own ESP so as to facilitate decisions involving doorbells and ringing telephones. 

There’s something hilarious about being both a procrastinator and a perfectionist.
