when hozier said "if there was anyone to ever get through this life with their heart still intact, they didn't do it right" and "'we didn't get it right, but love, we did our best'" and "I know we want this to go easy by being somebody's fault" and "just knowing that everything will end should not change our plan when we begin again"

the reason why maurice makes me so emotional is that E M Forster wrote it in 1913, knew that it couldn't be published, held on to it for years and sent it only to his friends, and then after his death Christopher Isherwood, another gay writer made the effort to get it published....and then in 1987 it was directed by another gay man...and now hearing the dedication 'to a happier year" read out by Ben Whishaw, an openly gay man who's been married for ten years just makes me feel some type of insane way.

Not to absolutely romanticize everything, but if I could just live in an art museum for a while like those kids from The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.... I think I’d be good
ELECTRA Ah now there you mistake me. Shame I do feel. And I know there is something all wrong about me — believe me. Sometimes I shock myself. But there is a reason: you. You never let up this one same pressure of hatred on my life: I am the shape you made me. Filth teaches filth.
— Sophocles, tr. by Anne Carson, from Electra

“ Why do we smile? Why do we laugh? Why do we feel alone? Why are we sad and confused? Why do we read poetry? Why do we cry when we see a painting? Why is there a riot in the heart when we love? Why do we feel shame? What is that thing in the pit of your stomach called desire ? ”
