Giacomo Puccini
“See, the night doth enfold us! See, all the world lies sleeping!”
Giacomo Puccini

Lang Leav
“We had no ending,
no said goodbye.

For all my life,
I'll wonder why.”
Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure

Joseph Brodsky
“The surest defense against Evil is extreme individualism, originality of thinking, whimsicality, even—if you will—eccentricity.”
Joseph Brodsky

Lang Leav
“As a kid, I would count backwards from ten and imagine at one, there would be an explosion–perhaps caused by a rogue planet crashing into Earth or some other major catastrophe. When nothing happened, I'd feel relieved and at the same time, a little disappointed.

I think of you at ten; the first time I saw you. Your smile at nine and how it lit up something inside me I had thought long dead. Your lips at eight pressed against mine and at seven, your warm breath in my ear and your hands everywhere. You tell me you love me at six and at five we have our first real fight. At four we have our second and three, our third. At two you tell me you can't go on any longer and then at one, you ask me to stay.

And I am relieved, so relieved–and a little disappointed.”
Lang Leav, Love & Misadventure

Elias Canetti
“Relearn astonishment.”
Elias Canetti
