I do not want much of a present, anyway, this year.

Sylvia Plath - A Birthday Present (via madamepsychosis) (via strepitupido)

Perché è così che ti frega, la vita. Ti piglia quando hai ancora l’anima addormentata e ti semina dentro un’immagine, o un odore, o un suono che poi non te lo togli più. E quella lì era la felicità.

E’ stata una fine dall’inizio.

Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.
