PERIOD DRAMAS + AUTUMN COLORS

PERIOD DRAMAS + AUTUMN COLORS 🍂

“But if renting all those movies had taught me anything more than how to lose myself in them, it was that you only actually have perfectly profound little moments like that in real life if you recognize them yourself, do all the fancy shot work and editing in your head, usually in the very seconds that whatever is happening is happening. And even if you do manage to do so, just about never does anyone else you’re with at the time experience that exact same kind of moment, and it’s impossible to explain it as it’s happening, and then the moment is over.”

— Emily M. Danforth, The Miseducation of Cameron Post

The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – that you’d thought special, particular to you.

Alan Bennett, The History Boys

“What they never tell you is that Persephone, after all, belonged there. She became her own underworld. She married the shadows and found peace. The darkness she carried inside of her was worthy of the underworld’s sweet extremities.”

— Lola Ridge, from To the Many; Collected Poems of Lola Ridge; “Hellish,”

“You’re not a bad person for the ways you tried to kill your sadness.”
