I Am Not Yet A King, But I Got Moxie And I Move // Like I Know I’ll Die Young.

favorite hamilton lyrics [6/?]

We want our leaders to save the day, but we don’t get a say in what they trade away. We dream of a brand new start, but we dream in the dark for the most part!

Me @ Everyone

There is no cure for this low-grade melancholy. / Like a snake, you are never far from your shadow.

Eric Pankey, from “To Dwell in Thought,” Trace: Poems (Mildweed Editions, 2013)

MEDEA (1969) dir. Pier Paolo Pasolini

Face it, our way is the way. I mean, we scare people into not being assholes.

It’s a very Greek idea, and a very profound one. Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it. And what could be more terrifying and beautiful, to souls like the Greeks or our own, than to lose control completely? To throw off the chains of being for an instant, to shatter the accident of our mortal selves?
