LITERATURE SERIES: Dystopia

“Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — for ever… And remember that it is for ever. The face will always be there to be stamped upon." ― George Orwell (1984)

The children of Mace Tyrell and Alerie Hightower

Gentle, pious, good-hearted Willas Tyrell. Garlan often trains against three men, or even four. In battle it is seldom one against one, he says, so he likes to be prepared. Ser Loras was still half a boy, arrogant and vain, but he had it in him to be great, to perform deeds worthy of the White Book. Margaery was sweet and gentle, yet there was a little of her grandmother in her, too.

It began to snow. The low clouds made a grey ceiling for the city; the snow muffled the noise of the cars until it became almost rhythmical; a steady, shushing noise, like the sound of tides beating endlessly on marble walls.

Men do the work of devils, do they not? It has always been so.

Intermezzo by Sally Rooney

«Life, after all, has not slipped free of its netting. There is no such life, slipping free: life is itself the netting, holding people in place, making sense of things. It is not possible to tear away the constraints and simply carry on a senseless existence. People, other people, make it impossible. But without other people, there would be no life at all. Judgement, reproval, disappointment, conflict: these are the means by which people remain connected to one another.»

THE OUTSIDERS; S.E. HINTON

sixteen years on the streets and you can learn a lot. but all the wrong things, not the things you want to learn. sixteen years on the streets and you see a lot. but all the wrong sights, not the things you want to see.

happy birthday, @enviies !

you think, as you walk away from le cirque des rêves and into the creeping dawn, that you felt more awake within the confines of the circus. you are no longer quite certain which side of the fence is the dream.

She did not look dangerous. Jeyne was a willowy girl, no more than fifteen or sixteen, more awkward than graceful. She had narrow hips, breasts the size of apples, a mop of chestnut curls, and the soft brown eyes of a doe. Pretty enough for a child (...), but not a girl to lose a kingdom for.
