Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light. I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night. Cami & Sehee. TV/film blogging extraordinares. Superheroes are our forte.
"Icarus. The original myth had two parts. Daedalus said to his son, ‘I fashioned these wings for you. Two rules. Don’t fly too high, or the sun will melt the wax. But, more important, son, don’t fly too low. Because if you fly too low, the water and the waves will surely weigh down the wings, and you will die.’ We’ve left out the second part of the myth. We don’t say to people anymore, ‘Don’t fly too low.’ All we do from the time they are 4 years old is warn them against hubris. We have created this industrially led structure that says: How dare you."

flying too high melted his wings, yea, but it was the ocean that killed him in the end

Do you know why we named you Kamala? It’s a special name. Kamal means “perfection” in Arabic. Your mother had a very difficult time when she was pregnant with Amir. After he was born, the doctors told us we couldn’t have any more children. We were devastated. Then, five years later, you came along. Our little miracle. I held you in my hands at the hospital… a tiny, screaming, pinkish-brown baby… and thought you were the most perfect thing I had ever seen. That’s why we gave you your name. You don’t have to be someone else to impress anybody. You are perfect just the way you are.

And we live. We stop falling for a moment and we live. Me and Gamora. The Dark Aster picks us up and repairs us. And Thanos says — “So you lose and you win. Weakness traded for strength, flesh for metal, adversity for advantage.” — Yes, I remember him saying that… the clear memory of his teachings drives me on.Guardians of the Galaxy Prelude #1

"You’re in a hard place but it’s important to go through. Hang in there, buckle down, hold your head up, and do your best. That’s all you can do and when people criticize you, listen to them; Either they’re right or wrong but they’re not always trying to hurt you. Try and really understand where criticism is coming from. "You can do better," is well intentioned. "You’re stupid," is not." (c)
