Ann Radcliffe, The Mysteries of Udolpho
“Someday we will be able to watch the cherry blossoms together again.”
That’s what we thought.
“I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is. He develops a mildly delusional obsession over a girl onto whom he projects all these fantasies. He thinks she’ll give his life meaning because he doesn’t care about much else going on in his life. A lot of boys and girls think their lives will have meaning if they find a partner who wants nothing else in life but them. That’s not healthy. That’s falling in love with the idea of a person, not the actual person.” Joseph Gordon-Levitt about his character.
I do not believe this darkness will endure.
#your faves could never #UGH i just think they’ll be such a perfect couple #because they’ve spent their whole lives with so much to prove #and it’s only together that they learn how to let that go

8 Minutes of the Earth’s Rotation
How I wish our planet’s movement was this apparent while staring at the night sky. It could probably make a lot more people realize just how tiny we are compared to this vast unexplored galaxy above our heads.
