Novel Quotes - Tumblr Posts
It was just then that it occurred to him that even the meanest of people could have good qualities hidden within them, even if it wasn’t as apparent as one might think. All in all, he realized, no matter what degree of person you fell into, the most universal part of humanity was the inherent desire to be understood by those different than you.
Best Tardy, “Beware the Stars”
But with real love, the second that emotion hits your veins it’s like an extra heartbeat that takes you out of existence for a moment, only to return to an altered world. Everything feels different with love, yet it’s does not feel like sole happiness. It feels like euphoria and misery; elation and discouragement; hope and despair.
Best Tardy, “Imaginary Friends”
People generally listen to themselves, even when someone else is speaking.
Best Tardy, “Sunrise for the Dreaming”
Ajnabiyat Ek raaz hai...Or raaz hamesha purkahish lagte hein.
Itni dair nahi ho jani chahye ke Intizaar per Farmaan ghalib aa jaye...or Firaaq ko Rukhsat ki ijazat naa mile.
--Sumaira Hameed--
DEMIAN by Hermann Hesse
“He too was a tempter. He too was a link to the second. The evil world with which I no longer wanted to have anything to do.” - Kim Namjoon on Blood, Sweat and Tears MV
Still BTS related but having a break from the boys. I found myself experimenting again with softer palette and waterbrush.
I read the novel pretty hurriedly because I was still on family business (a bad idea, for real) and skimming some sentences, so pardon me for inaccuracies on my depiction of Demian and Sinclair here. But in fact no matter what the descriptions are I can’t help but keep imagining these two exactly like how I drew them in this piece! :’)
The faces, haircolors, skintones, and the outfits (perhaps I should have draw them in the same uniform but my imagination is stubborn enough) is a perfect depiction of them in my head and I’m so satisfied with this work. I was about to draw Abraxas behind them but in the end I chose for a simple book cover-ish designs. Also I scraped off the idea of drawing their forehead signs. I like them looking like normal human just like how they are in the earlier chapters. Even until now I do relate the most to Sinclair, and I hope that somehow I will be able to have a meeting with my own Demian (and his mother), perhaps with different adventures. It’s always nice to meet someone who is your “kind”, right?
