Hélène Cixous, from Hélène Cixous, Rootprints
Text ID: We know, […] where the other's vulnerable heart is situated; and we do not touch it; we leave it intact. This is love.
and the nights, bigger than imagining
black and gusty and enormous, disordered and wild with stars ✨
— fuck soulmates, be my academic rival
Students,
If you're wearing the same sweats over and over and eating badly and drinking too much caffeine, you're not a depressed student.
You're just stuck in the second half of The Secret History.
“There’s an opposite to déjà vu. They call in jamais vu. It’s when you meet the same person or visit places again and again,but each time is the first . Everybody is always a stranger. Nothing is ever familiar.”
-Chuck palahniuk
please, please and please.
Proclus once said:
"This therefore, is mathematics: she reminds you of the invisible forms of the soul; she gives life to her own discoveries; she awakens the mind and purifies the intellect; she brings to light our intrinsic ideas; she abolishes oblivion and ignorance which are ours by birth ..."
Man I love maths

We fold the sheets as we argue facing each other, we eat soup in identical bowls, shes sitting on the sofa while i sit on the floor looking anywhere but at each other. I listen to her talk softly to my niece a minute after she scolds me for not ironing her clothes properly. And yet the sadness i feel can only be healed by a mothers love. Its sicken and sadening.
