Barbie: Romantics Edition

Ok, so I'm not typically a 19th-century poets girl, but I tutored a wonderful kid who was a huge Edgar Allan Poe fan, and I don't think it's possible not to like Oscar Wilde, so here we go. I think based on the categories here, I'm probably a George Eliot, but nothing is a perfect fit. Sound off in the tags where y'all fall on this one!

Enjoy this stolen meme I put here to distract you all with while I struggle to finish the seven different art pieces I shouldn’t have started in the first place.

#RICHARD SIKEN:   assorted quotes from war of the foxes.

i tell you these things because i love you.

you are my moon, little moon.

measure yourself against the truth and not the other way 'round.

people like to think war means something.

we know who our enemies are.

let's admit, without apology, what we do to each other.

what can you learn from your opponent? more than you think.

history is painted by the winners.

your body told me in a dream it's never been afraid of anything.

you said i could have anything i wanted, but i just couldn't say it out loud.

someone has to leave first — this is a very old story. there is no other version of this story.

none of it is real, darling.

something's not right about what i'm doing but i'm still doing it.

the enormity of my desire disgusts me.

i hope it's love. i'm trying really hard to make it love.

perhaps we are always hurtling our bodies toward the thing that will obliterate us, begging for love.

love, for you, is larger than the usual love: it's like a religion. it's terrifying.

no one will ever want to sleep with you.

how much can you change and get away with it, before you turn into someone else? before it’s some kind of murder?
