A Midsummer Night's Dream by Gustave Doré (1870)
“I know that feeling. You have to do something. You have to change something radically, because you can’t stay like you are for another second, or you’re going to explode.”
— Jennifer Echols, Forget You
“Growing up, I used to climb out my window onto the roof and look up at the stars. There, in the quiet, I would write stories inside my head.”
— Christy Hall, The Little Silkworm
We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, “Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.” I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
“There must be something strangely sacred in salt. It is in our tears and in the sea.”
— Khalil Gibran
“I’ve always been sensitive to the pain of others, always tried to feel a part of everyone else’s suffering.”
— Roberto Bolaño, The Savage Detectives

I was disaster. I was sorrow. I was war. I was death... And If you are broken inside, I'm totally dead, too close, too much.
