You and I, we were made to thrive
And I am your future, I am your past
Never forget that we were built to last
(when Caroline was reading Klaus’s letter)

“Boy I love him, but he is one serious whackadoodle.”
i built city walls
around my heart
made of polished gold &
i am endearingly godly.try to break me
and i will bring
you to your knees
begging, wishingyou didn’t.
To build up a library is to create a life. It’s never just a random collection of books.
Carlos María Domínguez, The House of Paper
(via wordsnquotes)
I think there are two types of writers, the architects and the gardeners. The architects plan everything ahead of time, like an architect building a house. They know how many rooms are going to be in the house, what kind of roof they’re going to have, where the wires are going to run, what kind of plumbing there’s going to be. They have the whole thing designed and blueprinted out before they even nail the first board up. The gardeners dig a hole, drop in a seed and water it. They kind of know what seed it is, they know if planted a fantasy seed or mystery seed or whatever. But as the plant comes up and they water it, they don’t know how many branches it’s going to have, they find out as it grows. And I’m much more a gardener than an architect.

I am rarely bored alone; I am often bored in groups and crowds.
It’s not ‘natural’ to speak well, eloquently, in an interesting articulate way. People living in groups, families, communes say little–have few verbal means. Eloquence–thinking in words–is a byproduct of solitude, deracination, a heightened painful individuality.
