This is the secret of the stars, I tell myself. In the end, we are alone. No matter how close you seem, no one else can touch you.

All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets.

toska [tohs-kah]
(noun) An untranslatable, Russian word – Vladimir Nabokov describes it best: “No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody or something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.” (via wordsnquotes)

Cinematography by Edward Lachman
“We shot on film and were always running out because we’d do these long shots of the girls lying around their rooms. It wasn’t until they got really bored that those little details would start to come out, so I’d shoot these long shots of them lying around the room and the producers would yell about how we didn’t have enough film stock.” - Sofia Coppola on the 20th Anniversary of The Virgin Suicides
