Richard Kadrey, Kill the Dead
❝When you’re young, you think everything you do is disposable. You move from now to now, crumpling time up in your hands, tossing it away. You’re your own speeding car. You think you can get rid of things, and people too—leave them behind. You don’t yet know about the habit they have, of coming back.❞
— Margaret Atwood,
The Blind Assassin (via
pavorst)
❝I think it is unnatural to think that there is such a thing as a blue-sky, white-clouded happy childhood for anybody. Childhood is a very, very tricky business of surviving it. Because if one thing goes wrong or anything goes wrong, and usually something goes wrong, then you are compromised as a human being. You’re going to trip over that for a good part of your life.❞
❝To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget.❞
❝I can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart, I am trying to bribe you with uncertainty, with danger, with defeat.❞
❝Fashion design is not about revealing or accentuating the shape of a woman’s body ; its purpose is to allow a person to be who they are. Fashion is interesting because it’s always moving. It always relates to social movement, politics and the current financial situation.❞
— Rei Kawakubo in i-D, 1992 (via

❝People always say that when you love someone, nothing in the world matters. But that’s not true, is it? You know, and I know, that when you love someone, everything in the world matters a little bit more.❞
— “Handle with Care” by Jodi Picoult (via
