    Sun Ra
    “I’m not real, I’m just like you. You don’t exist in this society. If you did your people wouldn’t be seeking equal rights.

    You’re not real, if you were you’d have some status among the nations of the world. So we are both myths.


    I do not come to you as a reality, I come to you as the myth because that is what black people are: myths.

    I came from a dream that the black man dreamed long ago. I’m actually a presence sent to you by your ancestors.”
    ― Sun Ra, Space is the Place

    Marcus Aurelius

If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.”

    John Green
    “I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.”
