“ God, but life is loneliness, despite all the opiates, despite the shrill tinsel gaiety of “parties” with no purpose, despite the false grinning faces we all wear. And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter - they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long. Yes, there is joy, fulfillment and companionship - but the loneliness of the soul in its appalling self-consciousness is horrible and overpowering. Sylvia Plath (via vanished)

lor-a-why:

Duke video on why we need feminism.  Favorites include,

“I need feminism because I’m tired of being told that the abuse I suffered from is my fault”

“I need feminism because people still think jokes about raping people are funny.”

“I need feminism because I want to be strong without being ‘angry.’”

(Least favorites include all of that terrible music)

“ All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man’s life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom. Albert Einstein (via vanished)

“ This being human is a guest house. Every morning is a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor…Welcome and entertain them all. Treat each guest honorably. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. Rumi 

The whole lecture is stimulating, but 0:16:50 to 0:17:25 especially made me smile. #wearestars

UPDATE: 33 minutes gets pretty dang good too.

UPDATE: Just watch the whole thing, haha.
