I have no desire to suffer twice, in reality and then in retrospect.

Quédate conmigo hoy, vive conmigo un día y una noche y te mostraré el origen de todos los poemas. Tendrás entonces todo cuanto de grande hay en la tierra y en el sol y nada tomarás ya de segunda o tercera mano, ni mirarás más por los ojos de los muertos, ni te nutrirás con el espectro de los libros. Tampoco contemplarás el mundo con mis ojos ni tocarás las cosas con mis manos. Aprenderás a escuchar en todas direcciones y dejarás que la esencia del Universo se filtre por tu ser.

— Walt Whitman, Fragmento de ‘Canto a mí mismo’

why is it always the woman who has to see past the beast in the man? why does she always have to clean his wounds, even after he has damaged her beyond repair? why is it always the man who is worthy of forgiveness for being a monster? I want to see the beast in the beauty. the half smile, half snarl. the unapologetic anger. I would like to see the man forgive the monster. to see her, blood and all, and love her anyway.

Breakfast At Tiffany’s (1961) dir. Blake Edwards

To live in this world you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.

Mary Oliver, from “In Blackwater Woods” (via theclassicsreader)

Only with the things you really need..

The moon shone down on everything with that simplicity and serenity which no other light possesses.

Franz Kafka, The Trial (via ontheedgeofdarkness)
