[the-hearth-and-the-wild]

In my mind are all the tides, their seasons, their ebbs and their flows. In my mind are all the halls, the endless procession of them, the intricate pathways. When this world becomes too much for me, when I grow tired of the noise and the dirt and the people, I close my eyes and I name a particular vestibule to myself; then I name a hall.

Susanna Clarke, Piranesi

you know, there’s something really special about all the fanfics set in different worlds — the steampunk au, the medieval, corporate, fantasy. It really is saying in this life and the next, I saw a million futures and he loved you in every one, I’d come for you and if I couldn’t walk I’d crawl to you; whatever our souls are made out of his, and mine are the same...If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger; doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love. Love, having no geography, knows no boundaries: weight and sink it deep, no matter, it will rise and find the surface.

"It was all very well going on about pure logic and how the universe was ruled by logic and the harmony of numbers, but the plain fact of the matter was that the Disc was manifestly traversing space on the back of a giant turtle and the gods had a habit of going round to atheists' houses and smashing their windows."

Terry Pratchett, The Color of Magic (read Aug-Dec '22)

I do not want to be human. I want to be myself. They think I am a lion, that I will chase them. I will not deny I have lions in me. I am the monster in the wood. I have wonders in my house of sugar. I have parts of myself I do not yet understand.

Catherynne Valente, Silently and Very Fast

is it pronounced I love you or

*You cannot ever be certain of those you love that they will not hurt you, even loving you * I did need someone, but I did not know it until now * will you call me? I will come. Whatever I am doing will remain undone, and I will come to you * I choose to come to you. It makes a difference. one day you will find out how good it is to have someone who chooses to come when you call * I would have died on your hearth * I had a thing I wanted to stay alive for* “I know: you never asked me to love you. Well, I do love you, and I am troubled, and I will stay*

“I laughed.  I couldn’t help it.  The world might be vicious and treacherous and deadly, but it couldn’t kill laughter.  Laughter, like love, has power to survive the worst things life has to offer.  And to do it with style.”

‘Come not between the Nazgûl and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thy turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shrivelled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye.’

—J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
