If I were to kiss you then go to hell, I would. So then I can brag with the devils I saw heaven without ever entering it.

William Shakespeare

One thing I LOVE about reading old books is the use of 'queer' and 'gay' as weird and happy, because every time I read it I think to myself 'damn, representation, I guess'.

Dostoevsky knew a lot, but not everything. For example, he thought that if you kill a person, you will become Raskolnikov. And we now know that you can kill five, ten, a hundred people and go to the theater in the evening.

Anna Akhmatova

Analysis about royalty and rouge politics be damned hamlet is about being 17 and off ur actual mind on mental illness and every adult feels simultaneously essential to survival and insane and love is like being hit with 800 bats and friendship is either being sentenced to death by your childhood friends rosencrabtz and guildenfuck or it's dying sobbing in Hortias arms and theres no in between and you're simultaneously haunted by and desperate to escape everything about the past and everything is changing and the world is falling apart and SOMEHOW people still find time to be mad at you for what color shirt you're wearing
