Standing on the crest of the light
Between fixity and vertigo
You are
The diaphanous balance
Octavio Paz, from “Summit and Gravity” in Configurations (trans. Lysander Kemp)
Quotes
I am homesick for unknown places
“Some days i remember these streets, but it was not me who was on them” it was another person tearing and pushing, until it all caved and i was somewhere else, somewhere, where i was total other….. without a known history
And I built, and I was.
And i am still, on these same streets where I once was, my invisible histories inside of me.
My power and my vunerability on the surface, of my new and seemingly known skin.
I am seeking, I am striving, I am in it with all my heart.
Vincent van Gogh (via blue-voids)
but perhaps henry miller knew all along that he was drinking and fucking his way to freedom and fame
we will get there.
so get used to life being this hard.that is where the exitement comes from.
We will invogorate!
I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable,
I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.
Walt Whitman, from “Song of Myself” (via proustitute)
I am going to hit that void running. it’s going to be damn fun.
we drew everything up inside of and began to move with the night, total debauchery.
“we are the beautiful people,” they explained “the ones who live well and party hard, we are the ones you need to know.
TESS TENNESSEE MILLER
