Was it really some other person I was so anxious to discover, when I did all that looking, or was it only my own solitude that I could not abide?

I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.

Do not be afraid of the past. If people tell you that it is irrevocable, do not believe them. The past, the present and the future are but one moment in the sight of God, in whose sight we should try to live. Time and space, succession and extension, are merely accidental conditions of thought. The imagination can transcend them, and more in a free sphere of ideal existences. Things, also, are in their essence what we choose to make them. A thing is, according to the mode in which one looks at it.

from De Profundis by Oscar Wilde  (via the-ephemeral-ethereal)

James Baldwin, Giovanni's Room
