Talking about oneself may be a way of hiding oneself.

Talking about oneself may be a way of hiding oneself.

To hide a passion totally (or even to hide, more simply, its excess) is inconceivable: not because the human subject is too weak, but because passion is in essence made to be seen: the hiding must be seen: I want you to know that I am hiding something from you, that is the active paradox I must resolve: at one and the same time it must be known and not known: I want you to know that I don’t want to show my feelings: that is the message I address to the other.

-Roland Barthes

Be an angel. Save a life.

Be an angel. Save a life.

Als das Kind Kind war,

wußte es nicht, daß es Kind war,

alles war ihm beseelt,

und alle Seelen waren eins.

When the child was a child,

it didn’t know it was a child,

everything was soulful,

and all souls were one.

-Peter Handke

A hero is someone whos afraid to run away.

A hero is someone who's afraid to run away.

“Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours.”

-Ayn Rand
