Oh to be a gremlin child again. Covered in grass stains and grazes, hair unbrushed with daisies in the knots, no concept of my own physicality, half way up a tree and eating an apple around my missing tooth. To be unabashedly ugly, to be unashamedly hungry, to be healthy and hearty and lean and covered in bruises and full of love and sun warmed strawberries. To feel time stretch forever, only flying when I fall into books. To love summer once more, and her insects and sweat.
Ivan Aivazovsky (1817-1900)

“I feel I know you so well that I couldn’t have known you better if we’d been friends for twenty years.”
— Fyodor Dostoevsky, White Nights (via notesfromtheundergroundman)
“And what’s strange, what would be marvelous, is not that God should really exist; the marvel is that such an idea, the idea of the necessity of God, could enter the head of such a savage, vicious beast as man.”
— Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
“And how importunate you are, how you foist yourself, how you mug!”
— Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes From Underground (via notesfromtheundergroundman)
“I believe like a child that suffering will be healed and made up for, that all the humiliating absurdity of human contradictions will vanish like a pitiful mirage, like the despicable fabrication of the impotent and infinitely small Euclidean mind of man, that in the world’s finale, at the moment of eternal harmony, something so precious will come to pass that it will suffice for all hearts, for the comforting of all resentments, for the atonement of all the crimes of humanity, for all the blood that they’ve shed; that it will make it not only possible to forgive but to justify all that has happened.”
— Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
