“No story lives unless someone wants to listen. The stories we love best do live in us forever. So whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.”
J.K. Rowling

Sylvia Plath
“August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time.”
Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Димитър Димов
“Но след малко тя почувствува изведнъж, че това, което изпитваше, не беше ни храброст, ни самообладание, ни съзнание за дълг, а просто равнодушие. То бе някаква умора от всичко, което я заобикаляше, някаква досада от света и хората, някаква намалена жизненост,..”
Dimitar Dimov, Тютюн

“dear samantha
i’m sorry
we have to get a divorce
i know that seems like an odd way to start a love letter but let me explain:
it’s not you
it sure as hell isn’t me
it’s just human beings don’t love as well as insects do
i love you.. far too much to let what we have be ruined by the failings of our species

i saw the way you looked at the waiter last night
i know you would never DO anything, you never do but..
i saw the way you looked at the waiter last night

did you know that when a female fly accepts the pheromones put off by a male fly, it re-writes her brain, destroys the receptors that receive pheromones, sensing the change, the male fly does the same. when two flies love each other they do it so hard, they will never love anything else ever again. if either one of them dies before procreation can happen both sets of genetic code are lost forever. now that… is dedication.

after Elizabeth and i broke up we spent three days dividing everything we had bought together
like if i knew what pots were mine like if i knew which drapes were mine somehow the pain would go away

this is not true

after two praying mantises mate, the nervous system of the male begins to shut down
while he still has control over his motor functions
he flops onto his back, exposing his soft underbelly up to his lover like a gift
she then proceeds to lovingly dice him into tiny cubes
spooning every morsel into her mouth
she wastes nothing
even the exoskeleton goes
she does this so that once their children are born she has something to regurgitate to feed them
now that.. is selflessness

i could never do that for you

so i have a new plan
i’m gonna leave you now
i’m gonna spend the rest of my life committing petty injustices
i hope you do the same
i will jay walk at every opportunity
i will steal things i could easily afford
i will be rude to strangers
i hope you do the same
i hope reincarnation is real
i hope our petty crimes are enough to cause us to be reborn as lesser creatures
i hope we are reborn as flies
so that we can love each other as hard as we were meant to”
Jared Singer

Georgi Gospodinov
“Трябваше да избягам от нея, ако исках да остана жив. Да я напусна, да напусна града по най-буквалния начин. Няколко месеца обикалях Европа. За да забравят една връзка, някои опитват безразборен секс, аз опитах безразборна география. Избирах случайни градове, пътувах обикновено с влак, сменях гари и хотели, всички туристи бяха на групи или по двойки, аз обикалях сам из площадите, които от един момент започнаха да изглеждат едни и същи. Приличах на човек, който иска да изостави собдтвената си изоставеност зад някой ъгъл. Като някой търсещ отдалечно и непознато място, където да пусне котките на тъгите си, така че те никога да не намерят обратния път. Знаеш ли колко е трудно да се отървеш от котки? Те притежават невероятно чувство за дом, особена памет.”
Георги Господинов, Физика на тъгата
