Anna, ENFP; I have eclectic tastes.

Dramatic thespian and perpetual lover of food. Also a Shieldmaiden of Rohan so I am no man and all that jazz.

I cry because Borgias.

“It’s about misunderstandings between people and places, being disconnected and looking for moments of connection. There are so many moments in life when people don’t say what they mean, when they are just missing each other, waiting to run into each other in a hallway.”
- Sofia Coppola on Lost in Translation (2003)
“The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd; the longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
- Fernando Pessoa (via obdormio)
“Our bodies are prisons for our souls. Our skin and blood, the iron bars of confinement. But fear not. All flesh decays. Death turns all to ash. And thus, death frees every soul.”
- The Fountain (via seabois)
“I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.”
-  Sylvia Plath (via crimical)
“I want to do things so wild with you that I don’t know how to say them.”
- Anaïs Nin (via pluckingtheflower)
“…throw roses into the abyss and say: ‘here is my thanks to the monster who didn’t succeed in swallowing me alive.’”
- Friedrich Nietzsche (via fetishofsilence)
“I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.”

Angelina Jolie goes public about her double mastectomy, explaining how women’s health issues don’t affect womanhood. Read it. (via think-progress)

“I have flown the distance of your body from side to side of your ivory coast. I know the forests where I can rest and feed. I have mapped you with my naked eye and stored you out of sight. The millions of cells that make up your tissues are plotted on my retina. Night flying I know exactly where I am. Your body is my landing strip.”
- Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body   (via bokura)
“How you must have suffered against getting accustomed to me, my savage, solitary soul, my name that sends them all running.”
- Neruda (via kirkwoodisinoregon)
“I want you to think of me like an endangered species — it’s fine to look at me from far away, but be careful because I may bite if you come near and talk to me or touch me.”
- Haruki Murakami (via mirroir)
“I write differently from what I speak, I speak differently from what I think, I think differently from the way I ought to think, and so it all proceeds into deepest darkness.”
- Franz Kafka (via indicio)
“Fan fiction is one of the great unsung popular literary movements of the past 50 years, but finding what you’re looking for online can involve sorting through mountains of inadequately-tagged and frequently dodgy text. Archive of Our Own makes it easy: it’s the most carefully curated, sanely organized, easily browsable and searchable nonprofit collection of fan fiction on the web, and it serves all fandoms equally, from The A-Team to Zachary Quinto and beyond.”
- Archive of Our Own makes TIME’s Best Websites of 2013 (via janoda)
“I am afraid of getting older… I am afraid of getting married. Spare me from cooking three meals a day—spare me from the relentless cage of routine and rote. I want to be free… I want, I want to think, to be omniscient… I think I would like to call myself ‘The girl who wanted to be God.’”
- Sylvia Plath, written in 1949 at age 17 (via libranta)
