He thought her beautiful, believed her impeccably wise; dreamed of her, wrote poems to her, which, ignoring the subject, she corrected in red ink.

I hate when people criticize magical girl anime for having long transformation scenes. "so the enemies just wait for them?" have you ever considered that something can be beautiful without needing to serve a purpose or make sense in a literal scenario 💔

...Everything seemed so different, so unreal. There seemed no reason why people should go along the street, and houses pile up in the daylight. There seemed no reason why these things should occupy space, instead of leaving it empty. His friends talked to him: he heard the sounds, and he answered. But why there should be the noise of speech he could not understand.

He was most himself when he was alone, or working hard and mechanically at the factory. In the latter case there was pure forgiveness, when he lapsed from consciousness. But it had to come to an end. It hurt him so, that things had lost their reality....

The realest thing was the thick darkness of night. That seemed to him whole and comprehensible and restful. He could leave himself to it...

Being an English Lit student and into dark academia means every time I wear a white shirt I become a Jacobean Shakesperean actor, Hamlet, Fitzwilliam Darcy, John Keats (all the Romantics, actually), a 17th century pirate and somehow an ABBA member - all at once. And I love it
