ancient soul

“I want everything quiet and simple. For me: walking barefoot, sitting still, reading, listening to stories, and now and then telling some myself. Eating fruit, drinking milk, longing to create, but with patience and many insights.”


— Rainer Maria Rilke, from a letter to Lou Salomé witten c. March 1904

“Thank you for the tragedy. 
I need it for my art.”

— Kurt Cobain

I don't know what it is like to not have deep emotions.
Even when I feel nothing, I feel it completely.

— Sylvia Plath
