Memory is a record.
People only have substance within the memories of other people. And that’s why there were all kinds of myself. There weren’t a lot of myself per se, I was just inside all sorts of people, that’s all.

Joy Williams on why writers write.

"The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience."

Harper Lee, To Kill A Mockingbird (via curiositycounts)

"In the first few seconds an aching sadness wrenched his heart, but it soon gave way to a feeling of sweet disquiet, the excitement of gypsy wanderlust."

Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita (via liquidnight)

edgedestroys: queenston: startupquote: Don’t try to be original, just try to be good. - Paul Rand authenticity over everything else, always! This x infinity. Not just in art but music too. I get so sick of the “LOL THAT BAND SUCKS THEY’RE NOT ORIGINAL” arguments. Originality is overrated and dead. Create for fun, not for glory. I cannot endorse all of this enough.
