He May Have Just Killed 15 People But At Least He Is Wearing A Mask, Karen.

Even if things take such a good turn in one of a thousand cases, who can guarantee that in your case it will not happen one day, sooner or later? But in the first place, you have to live to see the day in which it may happen, so you have to survive in order to see that day dawn, and from now on the responsibility for survival does not leave you.

Viktor E. Frankl in his book "Man's Search for Meaning"

To Live - Yu Hua

Quotes that I really liked and felt the need to underline:

"All it took was a word from the higher-ups and we'd all think and do whatever they wanted."

"You still owe us a life, hold on to your life to repay us."

"No matter how lucky a person is, the moment he decides he wants to die, there's nothing that will keep him alive."

"No matter how many hardships and difficulties people face in life, they always find a way to console themselves when they get close to death."

"If you go on striving for this and that, you’ll end up paying with your life."

"I thought it must be terrible to be an ox. All their lives they're driven to the point of exhaustion for the work of man, and as soon as they get old and their energy starts to go they get sent off to be slaughteted and eaten."

"My memories of Fengxia are my only happiness."

For future reference.

i always forget how addicting it feels to read a book and not want to put it down. it happens every time; i should know it by now, should know that i'm going to spend the rest of forever chasing that high, feeling it every time i read a new page or crack a new paperback spine or read a new dedication, but it’s always a pleasant surprise. i think we all know it, right? one more chapter before bed, one more chapter after that, so on and so forth. we all know that the inevitable will happen and we all know we'll will be sucked into the story for the foreseeable future, but we never plan for it. we never schedule it. it's a spontaneous familiarity, like knowing exactly what the crack of lightning looks like across the night sky but still watching through the window in a midnight storm. it's everything i could ever want and it's all that i have at the same time.

The Ballad of Nora Lee

Song by Helldorado

Once upon a time there lived a lady young and fair

Raven hair and rosy cheeks and no one to compare

Daughter of a noble man in a little town

And her name was Nora Lee, and it was spoken all around

It's told that she was courted by two men of different kin

One of them a shoemaker that made boots of lizard skin

The other was the sheriff in this little town

And he swore he'd marry her or else he'd put her in the ground

One night the moon was brightly shining in the sky

She went to see the shoemaker and with him she did lie

"You are my own true love" she whispered soft and low

But they'd been spied upon that night, and soon the sheriff he would know

Then came a cold and dark night and the wind was blowin' free

The sheriff and his men they tied poor Nora to a tree

Full of wickedness they stole her maidenhead

Then they stabbed her with a knife 'till they were sure she was dead

Her body it was found the next day on the banks below

The news was heard and many hearts were filled with grief and woe

"The guilty one will soon be hung" the sheriff he did claim

And he called upon his men, the shoemaker to blame

The scaffold it was built and all the people gathered round

Just to watch that poor boy taken to his hangin' ground

The rope was tied around his neck for everyone to see

And as the hangman pulled the rope, then he would meet his Nora Lee

Honestly? Fuck this culture of shaming people for learning about things late and liking them. who gives a shit if you discovered a song from years ago and youre in love with the band? Catch up with series you just discovered and talk about them to your friends, fall in love with movies others have known way before you even heard of them, read books youd heard of long ago but never got interested in until now and become a huge fan!! This idea that people are “fake fans” for not knowing about or being interested in things before and loving them now is garbage and we need to get rid of it. Just let people enjoy things jfc!!

The distance between us

I hoped she'd never leave me

Please God you must believe me

I've serched the universe

And found myself

Within' her eyes
