Hey You've Read A Little Life Right

Hey you've read A Little Life right

Could you please let me know in which part abd chaoter this line is from

"I weep because you cannot save people. You can only love them"

I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME FIND IT.

Also hi :D

hiii:3

so actually I didn’t find the quote in A Little Life, it turns out it’s from a different book by Anaïs Nin called Nearer the Moon: From "A Journal of Love"

The full quote is quite lovely!!

What’s hilarious but also kinda sad is scrolling through the secret history tag and seeing all the aesthetic moodboards and all that because the literal point of the book was warning against that.

Richard literally said his fatal flaw was ‘a morbid longing for the picturesque at all costs’.

The whole point of the book (well, one of them) is to tell you about the dangers of ignoring things right in front of your eyes and instead only focusing on the ‘picturesque’, on the side that fits with the aesthetic you’ve assigned to certain people, or situations, or books, and not seeing the larger picture.

And this is exactly what people are doing to the book (not that i don’t love the moodboards), focusing on the aesthetic and vibes of it rather than the underlying messages and the events that occur, ignoring the warning signs because they ruin the way you see things.

sigh

old post but it still hits

I presume that sejanus' body was left in district 12, I assume he never got his last rites. Maybe he was stuck there, underground in an unmarked grave until the bombs fell over the district. When for the first time in 65 long lonely years his bones were uncovered and he got to feel the sun shine over his weary remains. His own legacy waking him up to watch the snow fall, the districts rising up, the rebellion that he hoped to see. The mockingjay singing the end of the hunger games. Rather than the jabberjays that haunted him. What he had hoped for, for so long, finally coming to fruition.

But he still doesn't get his last rites.

His name is still lost to time like Lucy Grey's.

He never got to see his own district again.

The capitol fell, his "friend" fell.

He got what he wanted but it was too late for him, for Marcus, for so many others.

Sejanus Plinth is his own quiet tragedy, not 2 decades of life, being an outsider, trying to help. All for nothing, his death is near inconsequential.

A bitter tale of all those we lose to time that never see what they were fighting for. Wrong place or wrong time?

Left in 12, finally at rest in the districts.

If there's one thing about Sam Claflin, it's he'll always die in whatever movie he's starring in. Seriously it's like it's part of his contract or smth
