“There's nothing quite the same as sitting with a real book in your hands. Breathing in the ink and feeling all those wonderful lives beneath your fingertips.
In between the pages, I'm an emperor. An adventurer. A warrior and a wanderer. In between pages I'm not myself - and more myself than in any other place on earth.”
- Jay Kristoff, LIFEL1K3
“Books are no more threatened by Kindle than stairs by elevators.”

Biggest failing of the internet is that in order to be vibing with my friends I have to actually be talking to them. I socialize like a cat I just show affection by sitting next to you. Ily but sometimes I have Nothing to say. Not a damn thing going on in my head
no offense but how come none of y’all can just like or dislike something normally. it’s always gotta be “this is literally fucking flawless and pure” or “this is shit and you’re an immoral person for liking it” it’s so. Uncomfortable
“Every writer I know, when asked how to become a writer, responds with one word: Read.”
— Marilynne Robinson, When I Was a Child I Read Books (via quotespile)
anyone else ever reread old books they liked when they were a kid and go “oh yes, that’s why i am this way”

Nico strode forward. The enemy army fell back before him like he radiated death, which of course he did. Through the face guard of his skull-shaped helmet, he smiled. “Got your message. Is it too late to join the party?”
“Son of Hades.” Kronos spit on the ground. “Do you love death so much you wish to experience it?”
“Your death,” Nico said, “would be great for me.”
“I’m immortal, you fool! I have escaped Tartarus. You have no business here, and no chance to live.”
Nico drew his sword-three feet of wicked sharp Stygian iron, black as a nightmare. “I don’t agree.”

↳ “The ultimate joke is on J.K. Rowilng because while she might be a TERF and deny the very existence of trans people, the very characters she wrote wouldn’t agree with her. You cannot tell me that Harry, a boy abused for most of his childhood and then constantly ostracized for being different, or Luna, someone who found the quiet strength in being herself despite everyone telling her she shouldn’t be, would not be 100% accepting and loving of trans people. there absolutely are trans students at Hogwarts, students who are loved and appreciated and allowed to be themselves. the Sorting Hat believed the most important indication of where you should be sorted is where you WANT to be sorted. gender is your personal expression and identity of it, regardless of what society told you when you were born. to all my trans and nonbinary friends out there, it isn’t up to a sorting hat to pick your house or for J.K. Rowling to determine your gender; it is up to YOU. help will always be given to those who ask for it at Hogwarts.”
