“I am seized by two contradictory feelings: there is so much beauty in the world it is incredible that we are ever miserable for a moment; there is so much shit in the world that it is incredible we are ever happy for a moment.”

— Zadie Smith, Feel Free

“I can read you like a book and because the thing about a beloved book, if it’s a good one, is that it shifts like music; you think you know it, you’ve read it so many times, of course you know it, of course the pleasure of it is in how well you know it, but then you hear, in the background, the thing you never heard in it before, and with the turn of a page you see a combination of words you know you’ve never seen before, you thought you knew this book but it dazzles you with the different book it is, yet again, and not just that but the different person you have become, the different person you are now, reading it again, and you, my love, are an excellent book for me, and then us both together, which takes some talent with rhythm, but luckily we are quite talented at reading each other.”

— Ali Smith, The Whole Story and Other Stories

Figure.

First time I met the word "Figure" was about David of Michael Angelo and till now I imagine the statue once I meet this word. It's good feeling to have a memory connecting a word and an artistic masterpiece.

I am sick of high me creating awkward situations for sober me to deal with.

A Midsummer Night's Dream by Gustave Doré (1870)
