Spring, War and Peace, Lev Tolstoy
Warmed by the spring sunshine he sat in the calèche looking at the new grass, the first leaves on the birches, and the first puffs of white spring clouds floating across the clear blue sky.

Quote
Peace is not the opposite of war any more than death is the opposite of life. The poverty of language, which is to say the poverty of man’s imagination or the poverty of his inner life, has created an ambivalence which is absolutely false. I am talking of course of the peace which passeth all understanding. There is no other kind. The peace which most of us know is merely a cessation of hostilities, a truce, an interregnum, a lull, a respite, which is negative. The peace of the heart is positive and invincible, demanding no conditions, requiring no protection. It just is. If it is a victory it is a peculiar one because it is based entirely on surrender, a voluntary surrender, to be sure.
Henry Miller, The Colossus of Maroussi

This is my last post for the year. This year was full of pain for me, from a massive earthquake in Türkiye resulting in a death of over 50,000 people, including a friend, to election disappointment in my country and especially now a horrible massacre and kidnappings of good and innocent people in a country I love by a terrorist organisation that resulted in even more death. My one wish for 2024: Bring them home safely. Let the war end. Let them heal. 🇮🇱 🕊️

Rex: Do you even know what an amulet is? Ahsoka: Of course I do! I eat amulets sometimes. I like the ones with cheese and onions! Rex: Ahsoka, those are omelettes. Ahsoka: Oh. Then I’ve got nothing.

George: I'm tellin' you, this is a whole new world for us. New stuff, new era; it's a fresh start. Percy: Then why the fuck are we having the same stupid conversations? George: Just think, you know how people say, "If I knew then what I knew now?" Well, that person is you, and you already know it. And the "then" is right now. Percy: (soft amusement) What?
(AN: this is their dynamic post-DH, lmao. all they do is to stand around and talk. XD)

“A way of life cannot be successful so long as it is a mere intellectual conviction. It must be deeply felt, deeply believed, dominant even in dreams.”

Jango: *trying to take a single moment to himself when little toddler Boba pushes the bathroom door open* …hi.
Boba: *holding a sippy cup and looking bored* You done yet?
Jango: …no.
Boba: *soul deep sigh and goes to sit in the bathtub so he can tell Jango about his latest cartoon while they wait*
Jango: *praying for forgiveness for never letting Jaster have a minute alone when he was tiny* thanks, bubbas.

Shakespeare characters as random things in my notes app
Lady Macbeth: It was so cunt of him to die
Hamlet, talking about Claudius: He looks like his hairline got a restraining order from his forehead.
Also Hamlet: After I found out I had a silly little mental disorder, I was like, “what if I went to England?”
Mercutio, angrily: If I was a shark, I would eat Tybalt.
Hamlet, with an idea for a play: I say, “beef jerky.” The camera pans to you, saying “No! Please no!” Then it pans back over to me. I am beef jerky.
Hamlet, with another idea for a play: I’m gonna write a one-act comedy of The Last Supper. Yes, “Judas, you’ve been awfully quiet.”
Laertes, to the tune of Creep by Radiohead: 🎶 I’m a crêpe 🎶
More to come.
