My God, you fascinate me. Because I’ve been waiting for someone like you. Someone to challenge me. No great man has changed the course of history without being pushed to the limits of his potential. And you push me. I do hope you keep going.

oh so when Ollie says he's a vampire, he really means it, huh
- has to be invited in to Saltburn bc otherwise he wouldn't be able to ever enter that world
-the place is called Saltburn-salt is often used as warding against evil forces (but once invited into the protective space it is too late)
-he's there to consume these people, take their lives so he may live on (as the version of himself he sees as his due)
-consuming bodily fluids that are regarded as carrying someone's 'essence'/life (blood, seminal fluid)
-he's visiting people at night to prey on them, using their weak points, in this position behaves more dominantly than his daylight self
- a lot of this 'vampiric' behaviour is also mixed with sexuality, which is very much part of the vampire image
-destroying the mirror that doesn't show him (how he wants to appear...in the ending scene he no longer has a problem with it, relishes his new image as sy with status)
- Venetia, who he originally calls himself a vampire to, dies losing a lot of blood
We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
Sometimes, days in the motorhome are so chilled I don’t know what to do with myself. 🤎

I'm actually not crazy about Hamlet. Everyone else is crazy for not thinking about it all the time. I'm having a normal reaction to it. This is how people are supposed to react to Hamlet.
one likes to think there’s something in it, that old platitude amor vincit omnia. but if i’ve learned one thing in my short sad life, it is that that particular platitude is a lie. love doesn’t conquer everything. and whoever thinks it does is a fool.

the intimacy of shared silence.
the premise of the green knight is so fucking wild. dude was literally like "whosoever strikes me, even the teeniest little hit, will win the game - but they have to come back to me in a year and ill return the exact same blow to them" and gawain was like "radical." and chopped his whole fuckin head off
there are such things as ghosts. people everywhere have always known that. and we believe in them every bit as much as homer did. only now, we call them by different names. memory. the unconscious.
