"To be the object of desire is to be defined in the passive case.
To exist in the passive case is to die in the passive case- that is, to be killed.
This is the moral of the fairy tale about the perfect woman."

"The men where you live”, said the little prince, “grow five thousand roses in the same garden… and they do not find what they are looking for…”
“They do not find it”, I replied.
“And yet, what they are looking for could be found in a single rose or in a little water.”
“Yes, indeed,” I replied.
And the little prince added: “But the eyes are blind. One must look with the heart."

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep."
— Robert Frost, excerpt from the poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (via seabois)

Pretty…
I woke up one morning,
all my fingers rotting,
I woke up a dying man
without a chance.

"Once more, I am afraid, Canada’s southern neighbour has appropriated the term ‘Native American’ strictly for the original inhabitants of what is today the United States. I doubt that in the US a Cree or an Aztec would be termed like that. And, of course, a black person living in Canada, Brazil or Cuba would probably not be labeled an ‘Afro-American’. These politically correct terms contain as their second element what is, in my opinion, one of the greatest political incorrections of our times: the use of ‘America’ and ‘American’ to refer to the United States only."

I am trying to reach completeness in my life. I do not know how to do it so I just try doing different things. This is part of my effort, writing down what I consider I have to write down and trying to remember all the beautiful things that catch my attention. I do love beauty.
