“It was a mistake to think of houses, old houses, as being empty. They were filled with memories, with the faded echoes of voices. Drops of tears, drops of blood, the ring of laughter, the edge of tempers that had ebbed and flowed between the walls, into the walls, over the years. […] And there were houses,  that breathed. They carried in their wood and stone, their brick and mortar a kind of ego that was nearly, very nearly, human.” ― Nora Roberts, Key of Knowledge

DICKINSON 3.04 | This is my letter to the World

I celebrate myself, I sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

“I think if Dickens was alive today, he’d have been working for the BBC, until HBO offered him much more money.”

I wish I could still believe this. Instead, I am constantly thinking of things I'll never do.

there is still time. there is still time. until your bones are in the fucking ground there is still time.

No! No. You may only call me “Mrs. Darcy”… when you are completely, and perfectly, and incandescently happy.
