Here we are again, in a different place and world than when I first read it, wonderful, beautiful

“but i dont want comfort. i want god, i want poetry, i want real danger, i want freedom, i want goodness, i want sin.”

!!!!!

this book is so vague but so clear, so much has happened but at the same time ábsolutely nothing, it’s so sharp but so lacking

it’s infuriating

OH this is interesting

“this boasting, for example. and the outbursts of an abject self-pity with which it alternated. and bis deplorable habit of being bold after the event, and full, in absence, of the most extraordinary presence of mind.”

painfully relatable - deep rooted insecurity

“you can’t consume much if you sit still and read books”

ha! watch me *stuffs another pack of cookies in her mouth*

“bernard gave his orders in the sharp, rather arrogant and even offensive tones of one who does not feel himself too secure in his superiority.”

the not too secure in their superiority always scream loudest - forcing attention and power in fear of losing it

this fucking book

“‘talking about her as though she were a bit of meat.’ bernard ground his teeth. ‘have her here, have her there. (…)’ he would have liked to go up to them and hit them in the face - hard, again and again.”

THANK YOU
