I don't know what else to say



Day 33: Woo me until the sun comes up...

Day 10: If I were a painter and could paint a memory...



"If there is no love in the world, we will make a new world, and we will give it heavy walls, and we will furnish it with soft red interiors, from the inside out, and give it a knocker that resonates like a diamond falling to a jeweler's felt so that we should never hear it.
Love me, because love doesn't exist, and I have tried everything that does."
-excerpt from Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer

"Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be."

-excerpt from The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
