I feel that you’re becoming just a shadow in my life.
Donna Tartt, The Secret History (via camilla-macauley)

But I have been familiar with ruins too long to dislike desolation.
Lord Byron, in a letter to Thomas Moore (via a-pair-of-ragged-claws)
Being born a woman is an awful tragedy. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars—to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording—all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night.
Sylvia Plath
I am too young and I’ve loved you too much.
Fyodor Dostoevsky – The Brothers Karamazov (via helyanthus)
I am ashes where I was once fire.
What is there to say? You know how much I have loved you.

Stay away from the ones you love too much. Those are the ones who will kill you.
Donna Tartt The Goldfinch
