Let’s say your matrilineal line is fairly consistent and everyone has their daughter at 25. So four women in your matrilineal line are born every hundred years. In a thousand years, that’s only 40 women. Like the math is so simple and yet ? You don’t think about it. So in 2000 years, 80 women. So basically, 0 AD started roughly about 80 mothers ago.

“This group of men used their collective power of colloquial language to create poetry that emphasized intuition and the pastoral. Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Shelley, and Keats banded together to form the Romantics: the Avengers of classic literature.”  

William Blake Super Power: Prophetic Prose Motto: “It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.” 

William Wordsworth Super Power: Self-Reflection Motto: “The mind of man is a thousand times more beautiful than the earth on which he dwells.” 

Samuel Taylor Coleridge Super Power: Suspension of Disbelief Motto: “Good and bad men are each less so than they seem.” 

Lord Byron Super Power: Aristocracy Motto: “The great object of life is sensation – to feel that we exist, even though in pain.” 

Percy Shelley Super Power: Radicalism Motto: “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” 

John Keats Super Power: Sensuality Motto: “I want a brighter word than bright.”

He was always like, “OK, who are you and what are you thinking about? How do you do what you do?” And he appreciated oddballs — people who looked different and spoke in a certain way. He had a very strong curiosity and had very absolute aesthetic values.

He also had a certain rigor. If he saw something in another artist he admired, if they didn’t pick up that ball and run with it, he didn’t have any problem saying, “Well, if you’re not going to do it, I will. I’ll do this thing you should have done.” And that was very valid.

I will go to war in a red dress, trample your ashes in high heels, look for my lipstick stain on your collar when I lean forwards not to kiss you, but to whisper: “I win.”

Too many people : Do you really believe in the witchcraft stuff? Have you ever cast a spell that actually worked?

Me: Yes. I cast a spell last night to give me the patience to deal with judgmental questions.
