I'm studying to become an English Teacher, so teaching is an interest. Painting, drawing, sketching, sculpting, independent films, music... men. not boys, men.
"Never bow before your tormentors. Not even if they've locked on to the most humiliating moment in your life.
Never let them know you are vulnerable, especially when you are.
Never trust someone else to protect you, and never forget that every choice you make is on you. Ignorance of the outcome doesn't exempt you from the consequences."
-Laura Weiss
“The unrea L is more powerful than the re a l, beca u se nothin g is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies t h at last. st o ne crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as f ragile as a t hought, a dream, a leg e nd, they can go on a n d on.â€
-Chuck Palahniuk
“First, soak in hot water until soft and tender. Remove, and dust, lightly with talcum powder. Now arrange everything carefully on a bed of fresh, white linen, and simply add one tub of Haagen Dazs Belgian chocolate ice cream, enriched with genuine Belgian chocolate pieces, and bring slowly to the boil. Haagan Dazs, dedicated to pleasure.â€
-Matthew Macfadyen
"Who sir? You Sir? No one in the chair. Come on. COME ON! Sweeney's waiting. I want you bleeders! "
-Sweeney Todd
"To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch… to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!"
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"
-Jack Kerouac
"The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid."
-Jane Austen
