‘Mediocrities can tolerate being surrounded only by flatterers who conceal their mediocrity.’ ~ Maurice Druon, The Strangled Queen. #BookWormSat
"Nature, who has played so many queer tricks upon us, making us so unequally of clay and diamonds, of rainbow and granite, and stuffed them into a case, often of the most incongruous... a perfect rag-bag of odds and ends... stitched together by a single thread."
-Orlando
Virginia Woolf

'He skips through the copses singing,
And his shadow dances along,
And I know not which I should follow,
Shadow or song!'
-Oscar Wilde

That day was the beginning of my friendship with Sebastian, and thus it came about, that morning in June, that I was lying beside him in the shade of the high elms watching the smoke from his lips drift up into the branches.
Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

Everything ends. Summer ends. Happiness ends. Days of joy are followed by days of sorrow. Even the gods will meet their end in the last battle of Ragnarok when all the evil of the world brings chaos and the sun will turn dark

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow
