"It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it - just as the world reproduces itself in the course of its eternal gyrations. The sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore."

Albert Camus (via art-and-fury)

"All cruel people describe themselves as paragons of frankness.”
― Tennessee Williams"

So true, Tennessee, so true… (via journalofanobody)

"I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls."

Anais Nin
