If you mourn the death of ancient languages but do not mourn the death of innocent black people, you need to reevaluate your priorities.

If the burning of the library of Alexandria or of Notre Dame brings you to tears but do not care about the fires started by desperate and grieving protesters demanding justice, you need to reevaluate your priorities.

It is okay to love and be passionate about things from the past, but we must also care about our present. 2020 will someday be history too. Don’t let yourself be on the wrong side of history. Don’t ignore the racial injustice that is all around us.

Goethe has said, that in youth we cannot be happy unless we love. I did not love; but I was devoured by a restless wish to be something to others.

it’s a whole vibe

as far as I'm aware this comes from @NightTimeSecrets on weheartit 

“Bysshe looked, as he always looked, wild, intellectual, unearthly; like a spirit that had just descended from the sky; like a demon risen at that moment out of the ground.”

— Thomas Hogg on Percy Bysshe Shelley (also, coincidentally, my aesthetic goals)

god I wish someone would describe me as wild, intellectual, unearthly

…there is something to be said for these shiftless days,

She, I thought, was very beautiful, in an unsettling, almost medieval way which would not be apparent to the casual observer.
