Random stuff I like + gifs I've made.
'Love is supposed to dignify us, exalt us. How can it be love, John, if all it does is make you lonely and corrupt?' Alice Morgan (Luther S01E01).
Happy to chat to anyone and receive gif requests.

“Give up defining yourself ― to yourself or to others. You won’t die; you will come to life… and don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don’t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.”

“Why did you invent poetry?” Dionysus asked Apollo, filling his goblet with wine once more. Apollo took a sip “Why did you invent wine?” Dionysus looked at his own goblet, thinking of the ruby liquid within it and answered thoughtfully, “It makes the world slightly sweeter and adds a little madness where there was none. But mostly, to be intoxicated and in love.” Apollo smiled, “Now you know why I crafted poetry. It makes the world a little easier to love.”
