"To be in love...to be utterly alone..." A beautiful quote by Henry Miller. Who does not know him? A casanova who spent most of his time wandering around between the U.S. and France, going from one lady's arms to another lady's embrace, drinking and smoking, and living a controversial life and a complicated love life with Anaïs Nin and his June Miller. Those qualities only add more charms to Miller's. Yet one thing should be noted: Henry Miller is one of the prominent figures in erotic literature. The World of Sex is one of the books that he wrote. What makes it different is the fact that Henry puts his personal thought about life, love and sex here. His ideas and ways of thinking are always fascinating. He always sees things from different aspects. His opinions related to the prostitutes here is the example. Henry also believes that love is different with sex and most women often mix them both. I surprisingly enjoy reading The World of Sex. It is a bit of non-fiction and autobiography as it's based on Henry's experience himself. Still a book worth reading tho! #booklover #bookish #bookishindonesia #bookaholic #bookstagram #bookstagramindonesia #bibliophile #bookreview #bookreviewer #booknerd #bookenthusiast #bookaddict # #bookblogger #bookaesthetic #bookshelves #descalibrary #descaslibrary #descanto #fictionbook #nonfictionbook #igreads #igbook #instaread #instabooks #literatureisliving #riotgrams #theworldofsex #henrymiller #eroticliterature (at Desca's Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrzPbshymez/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Those modern songs,' one of them muttered, 'are useless.' 'Absolutely, my friend,' replied the other frog, who was maimed and almost blind, 'When I was young I believed that, in the end, if God heard our singing, He would have mercy. But the knowledge I gained in my long life makes me disbelieved it. I no longer sing." -The Dialogue of Two Snails, Federico Garcia Lorca . .  #literature #booklove #booklover #bibliophile #ilovereading #igreads #igbook #instaread #instabooks #bookish #bookshelf #bookshelves #bookaholic #letsread #ilovebook #bookstagram #literarian #literatureteacher #literatureisliving #bookstagramindonesia #booknerd #bookofinstagram #descalibrary #descaslibrary #federicogarcialorca #thedialogueoftwosnails #penguin #penguinmodern (at Desca's Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqwzlJulKZ2/?igshid=17zufl1z0pcs4

“There are as many ways to be kind as there are actions. Every act you do can be done kindly. You can complete a chore without waiting to be asked. Or you can lighten up a tense moment with a joke…but don’t limit yourself to these. One of the great things about being kind is that it inspires more kindness. Go ahead and make kindness a habit: It’s one you won’t want to break!” . . . DISCLAIMER: The book is given by NetGalley, the author and the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

"Allah do not say, "I am sorry, you do not have hijab, so I cannot accept your prayer.' That's not the way Allah looks at a human being, because Allah already sees all the way through. Not through our clothes only, but through our hearts. Allah says that the best dress is the dress of khairul taqwa, that's the dress of God consciousness." - Amina Wadud as stated in Maryam Lee's Unveiling Choice . . . “..Everything comes down to interpretation. Some would say that the religion wants what is easy for you. There was a time when shoes were not invented yet, so the feet could be seen. These are differences in opinion. The majority would say they want to find what is safe. So to be safe, the aurah then is everything but the face and the hands But if you don’t want to cover everything, then don’t cover everything, because the Koran says to lower your gaze. To lower your gaze does not mean you asking other people to cover but we put the restraints on ourselves. Isn’t that right?” -Prof. Quraish Shihab as stated in Maryam's Lee's Unveiling Choice. . . .

❝I know love is dark work; you have to get your hands dirty. If you hold back, nothing interesting happens. At the same time, you have to find the right distance between people. Too close, and they overwhelm you; too far and they abandon you. How to hold them in the right relation. . . It's beguiling how, in good relationships, even after years, formerly undiscovered parts of people are suddenly exposed, as in an archaeological dig. There is much to explore, and understand. With other people you cam only turn away, bored. I want to say: this is just the way things are. - Hanif Kureishi on Intimacy.❞ . . . #hanifkureishi #intimacy #booklover #literature #literarian  #literatureteacher #literatureisliving #igreads #igbook #instaread #instabooks #bookish #bibliophile #ilovereading #bookreviewer #shelves #bookreview #booknerd #bookofinstagram  #descaslibrary #descalibrary #bookland #bookaholic #bookworm #bookdragon #letsread #bookstagram #bookstagramindonesia (at Desca's Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvV4vrmlmLv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19gc9xctgti3s

“As a lesbian...I need you to start from a lesbian-centered place, not framed within a heterosexual context. I did not desire women, for example because I disliked men. Men weren’t even part of the equation…you need to talk about entering into vaginas. You can’t talk about lesbian sex without doing this. For example…I am having sex with a woman, she’s inside me. I am inside me. Fu king myself together with her. There are four fingers inside me: two are hers, two are mine. As lesbians,…we know about vaginas. We touch them. We lick them. We played with them. We tease them. We notice when the clitoris swells. We notice our own…” . . .

"I’ve always thought I was a boring person..I’ve never been the type who could just cit loose and have a good time It was as if I could always sense a boundary around me and I did my best not to step over the line. As though I was following a well-laid-out highway with signs telling me which were the exits, warning me when a bend was coming up, when not to pass. Follow the directions, I reckoned, and life would turn out OK. People praised me for toeing the line, and when I was little I was sure everybody else was doing the same thing as me, But soon I found out that wasn’t the case." . . . "…at the same time, her smile revealed weariness, of a wiser, more mature person listening to young person’s immature ideas. I can’t marry you, she said. I am going to marry someone a few years older than me and you are going to marry someone a few years younger. That’s the way things are done. Women mature faster than men and age more quickly. You don’t know anything about the world yet. Even if wee were to marry straight out of university, it would not work out. We’d never stay as happy as we are now. of course I love you – I’ve never loved anyone else. But those are two different things…” . . .

“Cinta itu adalah jiwa. Antara cinta sejati dan jiwa tak dapat dipisahkan, cintapun merdeka sebagaimana jiwa. Ia tidak membedakan di antara derajat dan bangsa, di antara kaya dan miskin, mulia dan papa. Di luar dari kekang kerendaan saya dan kemuliaannya, saya merasai bahwa Zainab adalah diri saya. Saya merasa ingat kepadanya…rindu kepadanya membukakan pintu angan-angan saya menghadapi zaman yang akan datang. . . [Love itself is a soul. True love and soul is inseparable.
