It’s such a gorgeous day. Out in the backyard with a book and a beer. http://yfrog.com/h4slryqj

“What men have in common is not a ‘nature’ but a condition, that is, an ensemble of limits and restrictions: the inevitability of death, the necessity of working for a living, of living in a world already inhabited by other men.”
—Jean-Paul Sartre, Anti-Semite and Jew. (via ex-ist)
“For, after all, you do grow up, you do outgrow your ideals, which turn to dust and ashes, which are shattered into fragments; and if you have no other life, you just have to build one up out of these fragments. And all the time your soul is craving and longing for something else. And in vain does the dreamer rummage about in his old dreams, raking them over as though they were a heap of cinders, looking in these cinders for some spark, however tiny, to fan it into a flame so as to warm his chilled blood by it and revive in it all that he held so dear before, all that touched his heart, that made his blood course through his veins, that drew tears from his eyes, and that so splendidly deceived him.”
—Fyodor Dostoevsky (via enchanting)
“But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we—
Of many far wiser than we—
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:” —Ed Poe

So this Lady Gaga song is kind of supposed to a Madonna rip off right? #comeon
“Dostoevsky was to say later that the problem of the existence of God had tormented him all his life, but this only confirms that is was always emotionally impossible for him to accept a world that had no relation to a God of any kind.”
—Joseph Frank, Dostoevsky: A Writer in His Time (via ryannapier)
“One can say many things about the history of the world except that it is rational. Give man every earthly blessing, satisfy his every desire, quench his slightest thirst, and he would still destroy what he has just to prove his freedom.”
—Dostoevsky (via lifewithstan)
