- ❛ Destiny has chained you to me forever. ❜
- ❛ You must never ask me that. ❜
- ❛ Are you afraid that you will change your mind? ❜
- ❛ You must come and fetch me in my dressing room at midnight exactly. ❜
“It pleased him to think of his Labyrinth as a board game; if you got too close to the winning square, you might find a snake taking you back to the start. No one had, and very few had gotten as far as this disturbing girl, who was too old to be turned into a goblin. Jareth examined her face in his crystal. Too old to be a goblin, but too young to be kept by him.”
A.C.H. Smith. “Labyrinth the Novelization.” [x]
If a writer falls in love with you, you can never die.

This quote is one of my ultimate favorite quotes in the history of ever. (via bthnyy)
(via beautyofpale)
“You’re real,” he whispered. I had thought him pale already. Now all vestiges of color drained from his face. His eyes rolled up and he slumped to the the floor in a shower of papers and oddments that had been sitting on the press-he fell rather gracefully for such a large man, I thought abstractedly. – Voyager
She was in the window of their bedroom, watching out to wave to them as they rode past, her hairbrush in her hand. Her hair was standing out in a great curly swash round her head, and the early-morning sun caught in it like flames in a thornbush.
