Anouk Aimée On The Roof Of The Hotel Excelsior, Venice, 1955

strong quote

“Without love and trust, resentment is the only thing that’s left.” ― Mieko Kawakami, Breasts and Eggs

Space in between, the space around, the space in the mind.

Me and the other.

Le Guin forever

« I think what you mostly do when you find you really are alone is to panic. You rush to the opposite extreme and pack yourself into groups - clubs, teams, societies, types. You suddenly start dressing exactly like the others. It’s a way of being invisible. The way you sew the patches on the holes in your blue jeans becomes incredibly important. If you do it wrong you’re not with it. That’s a peculiar phrase, you know? With it. With what? With them. With the others. All together. Safety in numbers. I’m not me. […] I’m a popular kid. I’m my friend’s friend. […] I’m a member. […] You can’t see me, all you can see is us. We’re safe. And if We see You standing alone by yourself, if you’re lucky we’ll ignore you. If you’re not lucky, we might throw rocks. Because we don’t like people standing there with the wrong kind of patches on their jeans reminding us that we’re each alone and none of us is safe. »

Life & Love

When you have nobody you can make a cup of tea for​, when nobody needs you, that’s when I think life is over.  ― Audrey Hepburn

and when nobody wakes you up in the morning, and when nobody waits for you at night, and when you can do whatever you want. what do you call it, freedom or loneliness? ― Charles Bukowski

"I'll walk with you" is just an excuse to spend more time with someone before they go and that's romantic as fuck
