“Dwell On The Beauty Of Life. Watch The Stars, And See Yourself Running With Them.”

Michelangelo and His Drawings.

I'm so much comfortable with pain and hatered that only the smiling faces and generous souls terrify me

— Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment

Eyes turn dry when there's no one to listen to the melancholic melodies of a tearing heart

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (translation by Constance Garnett)

Happy Heartstopper day!

Here’s an honorable mention that didn’t make it into my countdown.

ONCE UPON A TIME: Hans Pfitzner's musical legend "Palestrina" at the Breslau City Theater in 1932. Stage design by Hans Wildermann (1884-1954) for the 6th scene of the 1st act. "From here on, the room is populated with angelic figures." And Palestrina writes his mass.

so lovely, buying a book at the second-hand store and finding someone's annotations between the pages.
