“We’d said we’d keep in touch. But touch is not something you can keep; as soon as it’s gone, it’s gone. We should have said we’d keep in words, because they are all we can string between us—words on a telephone line, words appearing on a screen.”
— David Levithan i just relate to this too much lol

"Against positivism, which halts at phenomena--"There are only facts"--I would say: No, facts is precisely what there is not, only interpretations. We cannot establish any fact "in itself": perhaps it is folly to want to do such a thing.
"Everything is subjective," you say; but even this is interpretation. The "subject" is not something given, it is something added and invented and projected behind what there is.--Finally, is it necessary to posit an interpreter behind the interpretation? Even this is invention, hypothesis. In so far as the word "knowledge" has any meaning, the world is knowable; but it is interpretable otherwise, it has no meaning behind it, but countless meanings.--"Perspectivism." It is our needs that interpret the world; our drives and their For and Against. Every drive is a kind of lust to rule; each one has its perspective that it would like to compel all the other drives to accept as a norm." - Nietzsche, Will to Power, 481 I had been looking for this passage for quite some time now, and of all people a theologian pointed me to the right source. You can of course find easy counterarguments against the statement, but I still think it's proven to be visionary for European thought, and deserves proper attention |

The power of necromancy!
"I have done many things in my life. Many things that have made people hate me, distrust me, and secretly despise me in the shadows. I'm alone in the darkness that continues to grow with more people turning against me. Thinking I'm a demon, a demon that feeds on people's sympathy. I'll simply become a demon in their eyes, and live with the darkness they have spread to me. And that's why young one. Is why my favorite color is Black." A small speech during a critical moment. "Let the world tremble with fear! For I have returned with an even greater urge for anime!!" -Hooves

"It only takes two decades to finish your education. Failure to do so gives you five decades of suffering, so it's not worth it. If only kids knew about this, then they will never skip classes."
