i’ve been broken forever.

“Good-bye Jude; my fellow-sinner, and kindest friend!” “Good-bye, my mistaken wife. Good-bye!'

"Perhaps the world is not illuminated enough for such experiments as ours! Who were we, to think we could act as pioneers!” 💔

…………..

i applaud jude & sue’s strong values, their honesty and how they stick to it all even when it gets hard… but it is a clear fault for them both how they’re completely incapable of navigating the world they physical live… they may be made for the stars but they’re slowly dying out down here on earth and they won’t even try to change any of it

oh this is just crazy

'You are Joseph the dreamer of dreams, dear Jude. And a tragic Don Quixote. And sometimes you are St. Stephen, who, while they were stoning him, could see Heaven opened. O my poor friend and comrade, you'll suffer yet!'

sue is kind of a queen actually….

when your crush is suddenly flirting with the man you introduced her to and you want to do something about it because he’s twice her age but then you remember she’s your cousin and you are actually married to someone else.. 🥀

a new thomas hardy novel just entered the building!
