Permalink | 702 notes Who what am I? My answer: I am the sum total of everything that went before me, of all I have been seen done, of everything done-to-me. I am everyone everything whose being-in-the-world affected was affected by mine. I am anything that happens after I’ve gone which would not have happened if I had not come. Nor am I particularly exceptional in this matter; each “I”, everyone of the now-six-hundred-million-plus of us, contains a similar multitude. I repeat for the last time: to understand me, you’ll have to swallow a world. Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children

Permalink | 7 notes inmytimeofliving: an old slaughter house and meat packing plant I find so much beauty and innocence in the encounter of strangers. How beautiful it is to be able to sit in another’s company in silence so assured; each entranced in his own delirium, each feeding to his own musings—in a library, at a cafe, in a shop, in a cab. They say that silence this beautiful can only be founded by two lovers, but I find understanding in a stranger; a unanimous agreement, perhaps, as if saying ‘Hello, stranger, allow me to accompany you in wordless loneliness.’ (via butchrag)
Permalink | 59 notes When I see you, the World stops. It stops and all that exists for me is you and my eyes staring at you. There’s nothing else. No noise, no other people, no thoughts or worries, no yesterday, no tomorrow. The World just stops, and it is a beautiful place, and there is only you. James Frey, A Million Little Pieces
Permalink | 4 notes https://www.facebook.com/Chaos.Theory.Photography Let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay; let me be sad. Let me be cold; let me be warm. Let me be hungry…have too much to eat. Let me be ragged or well dressed. Let me be sincere - be deceitful. Let me be truthful; let me be a liar. Let me be honorable and let me sin. Only let me be something every blessed minute. And when I sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost. Betty Smith, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn

Permalink | 142 notes Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire. Borges
