  2. cystallineambermoments: Portrait of Signora Vighi painted by Cagnaccio di San Pietro, 1930 Never did she find anything so difficult as to keep herself from losing her temper when she was disturbed while absorbed in a book. People who are fond of books know the feeling of irritation which sweeps over them at such a moment. The temptation to be unreasonable and snappish is one not easy to manage. — Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess

  3. All things truly wicked start from an innocence. So you live day by day and enjoy what you have and do not worry. You lie and hate it and it destroys you and every day is more dangerous, but you live day to day as in a war.

    — A Moveable Feast, Ernest Hemingway

  4. In the end everyone, or not quite everyone, made friends again in order not to be stuffy or righteous. I did too. But I could never make friends again truly, neither in my heart nor in my head. When you cannot make friends any more in your head is worst. But it was more complicated than that.

    — A Moveable Feast, Ernest Hemingway

  6. oldhollywood: Salvador Dali - Study for the Scenario for The Surrealist Mystery of New York (1935)  “Outside his window, an anthropomorphic skyscraper is used for breeding hysterical mediums. One of these mediums escapes from the glacier and enters the head’s room and rushes towards him threateningly.  He prudently flees, but in her fury, the medium shuts the door, ripping off his hand. The medium is terrified to discover the horrible hole at the centre of the hand through which thousands of ants begin to emerge. The hand writhes in agony and now becomes a horrible ball crawling with ants and a swarm of bees that have also come out of the hole.”  -excerpt from the prologue of Salvador Dali’s unrealized film script for The Surrealist Mystery of New York (via)
