I have learned to smoke because I need something to hold on to. I dare not be without a cigarette in my hand. If I should be looking the other way when the hour of doom is struck, how shall I avoid being turned into stone unless I can remember something to do which will lead me back to the simplicity and safety of daily living? Elizabeth Smart, By Grand Central Station I Sat Down And Wept

Loneliness as a situation can be corrected, but as a state of mind it is an incurable illness. Vladimir Nabokov
lesbohemiens asked: Hi, Dan! Well, I've a question for you. I'll travel to London in a week, and I don't know how kind of clothes I've to take... Everybody said me: Take spring and warm clothes but I prefer to ask you... Is it cold or hot there? Thanks :)

Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea, But sad mortality o’ersways their power, How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea, Whose action is no stronger than a flower? O! how shall summer’s honey breath hold out, Against the wrackful siege of battering days, When rocks impregnable are not so stout, Nor gates of steel so strong but Time decays?

If you're so funny
Then why are you on your own tonight? And if you’re so clever Then why are you on your own tonight? If you’re so very entertaining Then why are you on your own tonight? If you’re so very good-looking Why do you sleep alone tonight? I know, ‘cause tonight is just like any other night That’s why you’re on your own tonight With your triumphs and your charms While they’re in each other’s arms.

Anonymous asked: I'm secretly in love with you and I listen to your recording of "Asleep" every night while I fall asleep so I can dream about your voice and the day that I'll give birth to your children.

Once upon a time there was a woman who was just like all women. And she married a man who was just like all men. And they had some children who were just like all children. And it rained all day. The woman had to skewer the hole in the kitchen sink, when it was blocked up. The man went to the pub every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The other nights he mended his broken bicycle, did the pool...

Interviewer: Did anyone fancy you at school?
Morrissey: Not demonstratively. There were whispers but since I was such an intellectual idiot, people were convinced that if they talked to me I'd quote Genesis and bolts of lightning would descend from the sky.
