a feeling you thought you'd forgotten...
β€œIt is easy to forget how the world is full of people, full to bursting, and each of them imaginable and consistently misimagined.”
-John Green (Paper Towns)
a feeling you thought you'd forgotten...
β–²
"It is the nightly custom of every good mother after her children are asleep to rummage their minds and put things straight for the next morning, repacking into their proper places the many articles that have wandered during the day. If you could keep awake (but of course you can’t) you would see your very own mother doing this, and you would find it quite interesting to watch her. It is quite like tidying up drawers, You would see her on her knees, I expect, lingering humorously over some of your contents, wondering where on earth you had picked this thing up, making discoveries sweet and not so sweet, pressing this to her cheek as if it were nice as a kitten, and hurriedly stowing that out of sight. When you wake up in the morning, the naughtiness and evil passions with which you went to bed have been folded up and placed at the bottom of your mind; and on the top, beautifully aired, are spread out your prettier thoughts, ready for you to put on."
J.M. Barrie Peter Pan
"From that time on, the world was hers for the reading. She would never be lonely again, never miss the lack of intimate friends. Books became her friends and there was one for every mood. There was poetry for quiet companionship. There was adventure when she tired of quiet hours. There would be love stories when she came into adolescence and when she wanted to feel a closeness to somebody she could read a biography. On that day when she first knew she could read, she made a vow to read one book a day as long as she lived."
