“To Be Poor But Content Is Actually To Be Quite Rich. But You Can Have Endless Riches And Still Be
“To be poor but content is actually to be quite rich. But you can have endless riches and still be as poor as anyone if you are always afraid of losing your riches.”
Othello, William Shakespeare
Original quote: "Poor and content is rich, and rich enough, / But riches fineless is as poor as winter / To him that ever fears he shall be poor."

You will be too raw for some. You will be too loud, too big, too fierce, too quiet, too deep. These are not your people.

“Watson. Come at once if convenient. If inconvenient, come all the same.” - Sherlock Holmes (Adventure of the Creeping Man, Arthur Conan Doyle)
i don't know why but this quote just hits me in the feels. "if inconvenient, come all the same."
maybe love is about finding your way to each other even when it's inconvenient.
“I would like to be the air that inhabits you for a moment only. I would like to be that unnoticed and that necessary.”
Variation on the Word Sleep, Margaret Atwood
"Your solitude, even in the midst of quite foreign circumstances, will be a hold and a home for you, and leading from it you will find all the paths you need."
R. M. Rilke in Letters to a Young Poet
“God, let me think clearly and brightly; let me live, love, and say it well in good sentences, let me someday see who I am.”
The Journals of Sylvia Plath, Sylvia Plath
We do realise the reason why everyone loves Percabeth and many consider it the best romance in modern literature is because there is no hierarchy between them right?
Percy is not emotionally stunted and reliant on Annabeth to navigate the world, Annabeth is not reliant on Percy for survival and support. They are completely equals - they are both strategic and smart, both powerful and foreboding, both funny and sarcastic, both hubristic and display cruelty at times. They are flawed and see each others flaws and love each other because of that, not in spite of it, and they are the only straight couple in literature I can think of like this. In every way they are completely equal.
there is this rage that runs deep under my skin and it is entirely mine.
