From Something That May Shock And Discredit You, Daniel Lavery

“What is it that the child has to teach?

The child naively believes that everything should be fair and everyone should be honest, that only good should prevail, that everybody should have what they want and there should be no pain or sadness. The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not.

And the child is right.”

— Rabbi Tzvi Freeman

The Sheboygan Press, Wisconsin, February 14, 1932

MORTAL, ON THE GROUND, DRENCHED IN SWEAT AND TEARS: are you a nightmare? are you a dream? APHRODITE, BARING HER TEETH, DRENCHED IN BLOOD AND ASH: I am everything inbetween.

no mortal words define her - a. CLAW (via merflk)

“When you start to know someone, all their physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize the scent of their skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.”

— Lisa Unger (via quotemadness)

contrary to popular belief, what men think of you is honestly like the least important thing ever lol
