When a physicist falls in love :)

Richard Feynman's love letter to his deceased wife, 1946.

Poets have their desks and pockets filled with poems, artists with sketches, and mine are filled with equations, calculus and books.

After all, we, scientists and you, romantics, aren't so different.

the flowers of your love are suffocating me

Oh to be the Broken Ace.

To be so good at everything that you’re never good enough.

To walk around with a regal air that nobody questions because your reputation always precedes you.

People avoid you because they don’t trust themselves to act around you.

Even more, they don’t trust your response.

The people around you harbour the worst kind of doubt, the deepest kind of fear, the most damaging kind of insecurity.

And that’s the thing.

You are good.

Annoyingly so.

Your all-consuming demons have made sure of it.

the betrayal knows my name (2010)

“I never paid any attention to people who told me to go out and live. I belonged always to whatever was far from me and to whatever I could never be. Anything that was not mine, however base, always seemed to me to be full of poetry. The only thing I ever loved was pure nothingness.”

― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

i'll be a dreamer 'til the day I die

and they say, oh, how the good die young?

There is something so comforting, so soothing about a mug of hot chocolate. No matter how old I am, I think chocolat chaud will always have the ability to take me back to special times, when all of the world's problems seemed to melt away by consuming one simple beverage.

Now that I think about it, Monster is pretty much a dark academian anime. Johan is literally the poster boy for dark academia and spouts edgy quotes while driving people into s*ic*de but don't worry, you will also meet the most wholesome people in this anime.

and how could i forget this very iconic quote:

I rest my case 😌 Now go watch Monster, it's such a great and very underrated anime though there are a lot of trigger warnings and nudity.
