“EVERY year, the bright Scandinavian summer nights fade away without anyone’s noticing. One evening in August you have an errand outdoors, and all of a sudden it’s pitch-black. A great warm, dark silence surrounds the house. It is still summer, but the summer is no longer alive. It has come to a standstill; nothing withers, and fall is not ready to begin. There are no stars yet, just darkness. The can of kerosene is brought up from the cellar and left in the hall, and the flashlight is hung up on its peg beside the door.”

— Tove Jansson, The Summer Book, tr. by Thomas Teal (Sort Of Books, 2003)

Months have passed, each one filled with foreboding and silence. Now disasters are flowing together into a delta that has no name, and will only be given one by geographers, who will come later, much later. Nothing to do today but to try to walk on the bitter waters of this nameless delta.

John Berger, 'A Place Weeping' (2009)

Same here and I'm autistic. It's because we're not a monolith. Some of us are hypo-emotive and others are hyper-emotive and some are in-between. But also, it takes communication and willingness to learn. Tell someone what you like and how best you respond or what you're looking for in a relationship.

“don’t take it personally” how would you like me to take it then? professionally? romantically? academically?

You loathe me, don’t you? Like the people outside. What a wicked woman I am and how brilliantly you exposed me and saved Leonard’s life. The great Sir Wilfrid Robarts did it again. Well, let me tell you something. You didn’t do it alone. You had help. MARLENE DIETRICH as Christine Vole/Christine Helm WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION (1957) — dir. Billy Wilder
