My god, can my family get anymore black?

And we have bonfire night
Which is about burning and torturing catholics that tried to blow up the houses of parliment
Sweet
I love the British.
Modern horror fiction à la Shakespeare
As from your graves rise up, and walk like sprites To countenance this horror!
—Shakespeare, The Tragedy of Macbeth II.iii.79-80 (via bardbot)
“ My personal life is a postscript to my novels; it consists of the sentence, ‘And I mean it.’ ”
Ayn Rand, Author’s Note to Atlas Shrugged
“XIVe arrondissement,” Paris, Je T’aime (2006)
Sitting there, alone in a foreign country, far from my job and everyone I know, a feeling came over me. It was like remembering something I’d never known before or had always been waiting for, but I didn’t know what. Maybe it was something I’d forgotten or something I’ve been missing all my life. All I can say is that I felt, at the same time, joy and sadness. But not too much sadness, because I felt alive. Yes, alive. That was the moment I fell in love with Paris. And I felt Paris fall in love with me.
Perhaps you didn’t know that I was proposed to on la Tour Eiffel. Le sigh.
