Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

[wordwhile]

. . . the simplicity of being at ease, here, like this, making the hours more sensual than the moments they delayed.

— Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

“Comments like ‘just leave the country if you don’t agree with it’ come from a place of toxic patriotism. It’s this belief that to be a patriot means to blindly follow the leader. In reality the true patriot is the one that questions their leaders, especially the ones they support.

“Maybe they don’t care unless in impacts them in some way.”

This is exactly what it is. But don’t worry, their world is going to be impacted greatly as are all of our world. These fools have somehow been lead to believe that Trump is on their side., that it’s a war between the left and the right. They’re about to find out that their leader doesn’t give a damn about the left or the right. He, and even more so of his billionaire buddies, care about rich and poor. All of us that aren’t billionaires will suffer under their boots.

I feel we need to embrace that suffering because it’s the only thing that’s going to wake these cultists up and show them what their leader truly thinks of them. Then, and only then, will they see the cleansing power of pain.”

To quote Hunter S Thompson: “And I was thinking, God Damn you Nazi bastards. I really hope you win it, because letting your kind of human garbage flood the system is about the only way to really clean it out.”

“It is a great thing to start life with a small number of really good books which are your very own.” ― Arthur Conan Doyle.

"As a general rule, people, even the wicked, are much more naïve and simple-hearted than we suppose. And we ourselves are, too."

-The Brothers Karamazov, Fyodor Dostoevsky

"Can I lay by your side

Next to you

And make sure you are alright?

I will take care of you..."

Midnight haze covers the sky. Laced in dew, the easterlies softly caress the back of my neck, as if to ease the ache of your absence. Chosen by art, you must leave behind the one you adore to attend to the souls who crave your attention. It is a fate you’ve chosen for yourself—with my permission.

Nights are usually my refuge, a quiet space where my thoughts wander freely, away from eyes that half-see me, unburdened by cruel scrutiny. But tonight is different. Your absence invades all my thoughts. Every street I look at, every corner I turn, I search for you, hoping—foolishly, perhaps—to see you walking towards me.

You say distance fuels love in its autumn with longing, and maybe you’re right. For I long for you with an urgent need, a pull so deep I can hardly contain it. My guiding light, the life of my soul, the music to my songs, the rhythm of my heart—can you abandon the world you are in, just for a moment, to be with me in the world I am in?
