"“Home to whoever’s there, to
the parking lot behind the drive-thru, back
seat,
bedroom floor with your best friend,
the one who slept with your ex and lied
but you forgave her because what does it
matter when
none of you matter?”

Oh no"

"“I know what you’re thinking, because Joel is always muttering about me being without morals . . . I’m trying hard to hang on to them, really I am. Yet I don’t know how long I can keep myself a virgin.”

Why is she telling her mom all of this??? 😭"

"“Afterwards, there was an orgy.

Prolonged, wild sexual celebrations as a form of cathartic emotional relief was, I was told, another fairly standard cultural aspect of the Nitashi, even – if not especially – in these times. Those few crew members who weren’t Nitashi were invited to participate, in much the same way as you might be invited for a cup of kol in another place.”

“The fucked thing,” Doc Bryan says, “is the men we’ve been fighting probably came here for the same reasons we did, to test themselves, to feel what war is like. In my view it doesn’t matter if you oppose or support war. The machine goes on.” ”
Evan Wright, Generation Kill: Devil Dogs, Iceman, Captain America, and the New Face of American War

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Zora Neale Hurston
“It was hard to love a woman that always made you feel so wishful.”
Zora Neale Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God

“...because nonviolence is too slow for people as depraved and violently efficient as our enemy.”
Vaishnavi Patel, Ten Incarnations of Rebellion

Max Ehrmann
“-Desiderata-

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.”
Max Ehrmann, Desiderata of Happiness
