there are a great deal too many books of which I have discovered for there to be only twenty-four hours in a day…far to little time I say

deciding which book on my mountainous TBR to read next is a very specific kind of torture
Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they've got ambition, and they've got talent, as well as just beauty. I'm so sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I'm so sick of it.

Hello my dears, today I've been called a "pretentious fuck" for liking classic lit.
“there must be another way, another ending to this madness.”
“but oh how I’ve dreamt of it this way.”
“Forget thus the nature of men, for love makes fools of the hands it holds/ Think not the torment that comes from kissing the thorns/ For a rose is often scornful before it is adored.”
- the play i’m currently writing <3
The love language of annotating a book
“take me oh muse to the madness within and let us sink into the thought that perhaps one day I shall find you in the oblivion”
