If We, Citizens, Do Not Support Our Artists, Then We Sacrifice Our Imagination On The Altar Of Crude

If we, citizens, do not support our artists, then we sacrifice our imagination on the altar of crude reality and we end up believing in nothing and having worthless dreams.

I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.

Sylvia Plath (via qodless)

I can't change what I can't see What the television doesn't say I don't wanna believe in

One by One; Lola Ray

There is a kind of crying I hope you have not experienced, and it is not just crying about something terrible that has happened, but a crying for all of the terrible things that have happened, not just to you but to everyone you know and to everyone you don’t know and even the people you don’t want to know, a crying that cannot be diluted by a brave deed or a kind word, but only by someone holding you as your shoulders shake and your tears run down your face.

Lemony Snicket (via psych-facts)

I look at all the things I purchased When I was feeling worthless But the stores became cages Full of blank faces and time wasted

My Heart Never Sleeps; Lovers

I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue.
