LITERATURE SERIES: J.R.R Tolkien

“The prime motive was the desire of a tale-teller to try his hand at a really long story that would hold the attention of readers, amuse them, delight them, and at times maybe excite them or deeply move them.” —J.R.R Tolkien, 1966

"I can’t expect someone else to make me feel complete; I must find it on my own. And I think I was always writing for myself, to sort through my loss and worry and tangled ambitions. Even now, I think about how effortless it is to lose oneself in words, and yet also find who you are." - Divine Rivals

Faudet's Dirty Pretty Things

Girls are dirty things. They use everything they have to make you do anything they want. They know what to say and how to say it to guarantee they get their way. Girls play dirty.

Girls are pretty things. Their hair encircles their faces like the marriage between halos and horns. Their eyes are so dark and deep that they conceal the greatest secrets of the universe. Girls look pretty.

But, Girls are also terrible things. Capable of salvation and damnation. Soft gasps when excited and loud groans when enraged. Tender carresses in the early hours of the morning and powerful grips late at night. Girls can be terrible.

Most of all, Girls are not things at all, Girls are not sexed up, dick sucking machines. Girls are Girls. Invaluable and lovely. They are the shapes of powerful trees and immovable mountains. They are part wolf, part snake, part phoenix. Girls have brains that are capable of ruling nations and hearts that are capable of saving them. Girls have talents and know how to use them. Girls are artists, poets, builders, breakers. Girls can be soft and sweet but equally harsh and unyielding. Girls are women. And women are conquerors.

Hard work pays off. If someone asked me would I have seen myself where I am today. I would tell them yes. Because without God, determination, not giving up with all the No’s I have heard even to this day. With the support of those that believe in me and continue to push me. I can go anywhere and do anything.

LITERATURE SERIES: Edgar Allan Poe

“The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and where the other begins?" ― Edgar Allan Poe

[remusjohnslupin]

LITERATURE SERIES: Dystopia

“Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — for ever… And remember that it is for ever. The face will always be there to be stamped upon." ― George Orwell (1984)

[remusjohnslupin]

LITERATURE SERIES: Classic Horror

“The horror genre never dies. It just keeps getting re­invented and it always will. Horror is a universal language; we're all afraid. We're born afraid, we're all afraid of things: death, disfigurement, loss of a loved one. Everything that I'm afraid of, you're afraid of and vice versa. So everybody feels fear and suspense.” —John Carpenter

[remusjohnslupin]

LITERATURE SERIES: H.P. Lovecraft

“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.” ― H.P. Lovecraft

LITERATURE SERIES: Agatha Christie

“Crime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions." ― Agatha Christie

[remusjohnslupin]

LITERATURE SERIES: J.K Rowling (Harry Potter)

“Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you’d expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn’t hold with such nonsense."

[remusjohnslupin]

LITERATURE SERIES: George R.R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire)

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.” —George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons, 2011

[remusjohnslupin]

LITERATURE SERIES: Ghost Stories

“No ghost in all the long histories of ghosts has ever hurt anyone physically. The only damage done is by the victim to himself.” ― Shirley Jackson

[remusjohnslupin]

LITERATURE SERIES: Stephen King

“The three types of terror: The Gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs, it's when the lights go out and something green and slimy splatters against your arm. The Horror: the unnatural, spiders the size of bears, the dead waking up and walking around, it's when the lights go out and something with claws grabs you by the arm. And the last and worse one: Terror, when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It's when the lights go out and you feel something behind you, you hear it, you feel its breath against your ear, but when you turn around, there's nothing there." ― Stephen King

La Tristesse de Sagan

There is a threefold sadness in everyone’s life. 

1. Dissatisfaction. 

You’re a law student that doesn’t even want to be a lawyer. You desperately want to change the world, but everyone you talk to is pushing you towards commercial law and all you want to do is write but you can’t because you don’t have time and because you’re exhausted under this incredible pressure to do better, always better because your parents are depending on you and you don’t want to seem ungrateful but it’s like your depressed which is ridiculous because you have literally anything you ask for but still you feel tired all the time. And you never do your work because your always drinking or smoking or blazing and its like when you're not killing yourself with law you're killing yourself with anything else. Literally anything else anyone would offer you. 

2. Heartbreak.

You’re broken-hearted because you found guy-three in your rotation with some English student in his lap and it's like technically you have no right to be pissed but you still are because you genuinely cared about him and you might have let him fuck you but then he betrayed you and he probably laughs at you with all his friends. And your friends all think and know that you’re a slut but you don't want to be. You want one person to depend on but no dependable people are left, or maybe you just don't deserve a dependable person because are you sure you’d be able to commit? are you sure you’d be able to give everything else up? wouldn’t you get bored?

3. Loneliness

You miss your parents even though you wish you didn’t and if you were with them you wouldn’t be happy. It’s not so much them you miss as the presence of some structure in your life. Right now, its like you’re not even a human anymore. Just some paper bag flailing about in the wind. Every time your mum texts you, it's like a stab to the stomach because she wants you to come back but you can’t. you won't. because you want to be independent but independence comes at a price and the price for you is happiness. 

You have been cruel and so now the world is being cruel to you.
