This Post. All These Words. These Women. I Love You So Much♥♥

all-women productions of shakespeare plays are so enlightened not for necessarily any feminist reason i just really like it when women kiss and duel each other to the death

And in the end we are all just humans, drunk on the idea that love, only love could heal our brokeness.

Boys break-up with you and say "I wish you to be the happiest girl on earth" when precisely you were the happiest while you were with them. Ugh

“But in a solitary life, there are rare moments when another soul dips near yours, as stars once a year brush the earth. Such a constellation was he to me.”

— Madeline Miller, Circe

“Why do we read books that make us weep? Undoubtedly because we never have, in reality, enough to lament. We need to gamble with fire, with blood, with mourning, not because we are gamblers, but because we need to almost die. We need to mourn for ourselves. And yet to stay alive.”

— Stigmata: Escaping Texts, “In October 1991…” by Hélène Cixous tr. Keith Cohen

the feminine urge to dedicate my life to books... to leave everything and escape to a library

Bitches be like "I'm so lonely I have no social life or love life why won't anyone date me? Then lock them selves in their rooms and cry over fictional characters while ignoring the outside world

It's me I'm bitches

malec never had a bad track. "loving you made me believe in eternity"? SLAPS. "take my hands, and take my strength too"? BANGER. "you're my heart, magnus bane. stay unbroken for me"? ICONIC. and don't even get me STARTED on "aku cinta kamu"

my only ambition in life is to have a massive wall to wall bookshelf full of books I've read/am reading that makes people go :O
