Speaking on My Behalf

“I loved you like a man loves a woman he never touches, only writes to, keeps little photographs of.”

“Language is the archives of history, and, if we must say it, a sort of tomb of the muses. For, though the origin of most of our words is forgotten, each word was at first a stroke of genius, and obtained currency, because for the moment it symbolized the world to the first speaker and to the hearer. The etymologist finds the deadest word to have been once a brilliant picture.”

“The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.”

“Sway when the music moves you. As the vibrations find a baseline from your feet to your borrowed soul.”
