#aged

I got too fed up with films that didn't make you think. I liked the idea of one that you'd have to be dancing around with. I like my mind to be engaged when I watch a film. ↗

#tragedy

You know that feeling,” she said, “when you are reading a book, and you know that it is a tragedy; you can feel the cold and darkness coming, see the net drawing close around the characters who live and breathe on the pages.But you are tied to the story as if being dragged behind a carriage, and you cannot let go or turn the course aside. ↗

— Cassandra Clare

#love

My friends, tonight we bring you something entirely different. Something special. The poets will rest, the sonnets will be silent, and what words of love there are will not be spoken. Tonight, my friends, and I can hear you out there, sitting alone, like me, in your chairs, your beds, driving down an empty street with no one but me to listen to your weeping; tonight, I'm going to bring you Armageddon. ↗

An engaged woman is always more agreeable than a disengaged. She is satisfied with herself. Her cares are over, and she feels that she may exert all her powers of pleasing without suspicion. All is safe with a lady engaged; no harm can be done. ↗

Don’t fall in love with me,” She whispered harshly, a sob catching in her throat. “I know you probably think I’m egotistical saying this, but I need your promise that you won’t do that. If you want to stay friends – or whatever the hell we’re heading towards, you have to promise me you won’t love me – not now, not ever.” - Stephanie Carovella, Damaged. ↗

Were prayers of murderers, when fighting on the “right side” of the war, ever heard—let alone answered? ↗
