Mitski
As a result of 50 years of emancipation, feminine qualities were dying out or being transferred to the males.

Harris

Jonathan Swift

Sarah Jeong

Ramy Youssef
My family moved from California to New Jersey in the beginning of my sophomore year of high school. I will never forget the first day in a new school, walking into the cafeteria during lunch and not knowing a single soul. I didn't feel confident enough to share a seat at just anyone's table.
Camille Guaty
I gathered that those two Big-shot Boys, Joe + Fletcher, just was afraid to let me sing, thinking maybe I'd sort of ruin their reputations with their musical public.

Louis Armstrong
Having a scapegoat means not knowing that we have one.
Rene Girard
That's what I'm interested in: the space in between, the moment of imagining what is possible and yet not knowing what that is.
Julie Mehretu

“I myself had no idea who I was. I loved my mother yet looked nothing like her. Neither did I look like the role models in my life—my stepfather, my godparents, other relatives—all of whom were black. And they looked nothing like the other heroes I saw, the guys in the movies, white men like Steve McQueen and Paul Newman who beat the bad guys and in the end got the pretty girl—who, incidentally, was always white.”

Quotes from the book “You were promised to me” by Elchin Safarli – LitRes
Everyone forgets differently.
Someone seeks salvation in vodka, someone in illusions, someone in the past. If I'm looking for salvation, does that mean I still believe? Or is it just a temporary pain reliever?
* * * * *
No strength to make a choice. Moreover, in reality there is no right choice - there is only the choice made and its consequences.
* * * * *
I fall asleep in the illusion that the files with the past are locked. Although thoughts, great traitors, still originate from the events of that time. nine0003
* * * * *
Loneliness laughs at those who hide from it in illusions. Anyway, we will return to it sooner or later, disappointed to the last drop of blood.
* * * * *
In relationships with people, we like to give roles. Require actors to strictly follow our interpretation. And at the same time we play selflessly. Then, sooner or later, someone will want at least an hour to be himself, and not a character. And in that moment everything falls apart.
* * * * *
Often I want to believe that I am in the last stage of recovery, when a critical perception of reality takes precedence over nostalgia, memories. nine0003
* * * * *
In life, people periodically crumble into pieces, and then they are collected, and a new picture is obtained. I don’t know what kind of picture I am, I’m all the time in pieces. Sometimes they are larger, and then I feel better, and it seems that some kind of harmonious prudence is about to come. And sometimes they are so small that I don’t understand at all what to do with these crumbs. Exhausting.
* * * * *
Now I hate it. Such quiet hatred when you want to hurt even at a distance. nine0003
* * * * *
Both people and dogs have the same desire - to be loved.
* * * * *
When a woman decides to give herself to a man, she certainly wants to know his origins. Surrendering is not a single physical action, it is a process, germination into what becomes the most dear.
A woman needs it: to know what his day was like before now their day.
* * * * *
Support is not to be found in a friend or a cigarette. In myself.
* * * * *
When asked if the glass is half full or empty, I prefer the answer “there is water in the glass”. The main thing is that there is still water. Encouraging realism?..
* * * * *
And why is the past such an infection that it doesn't disappear at all, even when it's vital?
* * * * *
At a certain period of life we meet a certain person who is needed in this particular period. Such a strange law of attraction, such a mutually beneficial salvation. We spend some time together, then we will definitely part. Because each of us needs to go further, enter a new, next period of our destiny. Marriage is designed for the lazy, who find it easier to stop halfway than to go further. nine0003
* * * * *
First I fall in love with the very thought of him, then with the plus sign of the dough, the pod with arms and legs, and then with the chubby little man who puts his feet in his mouth.
Feelings for him change quickly. In the first year it seems: well, you can’t love anymore. Then this love expands, deepens, multiplies in some absolutely incredible dimensions. And every new day becomes another step on a long journey. Now mom is already a companion, hand in hand, and not just shelter and food.
* * * * *
What good have I done for the universe that it is so generous in giving me you?
* * * * *
Everyone around is sneezing and complaining with one voice about poplar fluff. Just like small children, so many extra words. Poplar fluff is not that evil, but just such an obvious fact of life as heat in summer or snow in winter. It flies, it will torment you for a week, it will stop, but then relief will come.
* * * * *
Happiness is a property of character. Some have it in their nature to wait all the time, others continuously look for it, and others find it everywhere. nine0003
* * * * *
After all, women are much better than men.
We are brainless selfish, narcissistic whiners. Too much we do for the sake of public opinion. And women believe in us to the last and, I am sure that many, if I shared my thoughts with them, would say: “No, mine is not like that!” They are able to find excuses for us - that is their absolute advantage.
* * * * *
We should collect our thoughts, but I'm afraid not a single thought will come to the meeting.
* * * * *
Silence is your best friend. Verified. She doesn't want anything from you. She just sits next to him, charges with peace. Just don't confuse silence with silence.
* * * * *
You know, I must have waited so long for summer to miss autumn again. Through slightly cold air and sad twilight. Wrap yourself in a scarf, keep your hands warm in your pockets... I'm crazy, right? All year I hurried summer, it has come and that's it, I'm burning out. And it's not the heat, I don't get tired of it. It's just that I'm more like autumn in character.
nine0003
* * * * *
They say that there are no miracles left in the world, that there is no more a single unicorn, not a single dragon, and dryads with elves have sunk into the distant past. I myself sometimes believe in the disappearance of all this. But then I remember my childhood, as it is now, and everything again seems two-sided, like a wizard's hat - reality and a fairy tale. It’s just that everyday life with its kicks makes us believe that life has one layer.
* * * * *
It's easy for others to say, "Don't take it to heart." How can they know what is the depth of your heart? And where is close for him? nine0003
* * * * *
Without you there is no way, without you there is no need.
* * * * *
In summer, I crave sweets more than food.
* * * * *
A man is pleased to know that a woman is saddened by his absence. We cherish our selfishness.
* * * * *
As a child, I loved coloring books. I could not draw, there was no spatial imagination.
Therefore, with pleasure I decorated the finished drawings. So it is with life. It is given to us colorless, with clearly defined contours and a general pattern. We decide with whom or what to start and what color to paint. This is what we define. You tried to get away from it by throwing your pencils aside. Then your coloring remained nothing, gray. As a result, dullness surrounded you from all sides, you began to merge with it. You can not do it this way! You have to choose your own colors. First, color the sun yellow. Or, if you like, green!.. True, sometimes strength runs out, pencils are erased. But they came up with sharpeners for that ...
* * * * *
If a woman receives attention and care from a man, even a friend, she involuntarily thinks about the possibility of being together.
* * * * *
All life consists in freedom. Only this does not mean allowing yourself what you cannot afford for some reason, a taboo. These are not drugs for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
And do not seek salvation in the arms of unloved people. Freedom is the ability to move in any direction. Go and listen to your desires. Do not think about money and the notorious moral duty, conditions, circumstances. It would seem that such freedom cannot be afforded - it looks too reckless. But it's easy if you want. You just need to understand everything and take the first step. Forward. nine0003
* * * * *
Happiness does not have a session schedule, it may start even after turning off the projector. Therefore, it is foolish to run after what should happen anyway, as well as to run away from it.
* * * * *
Everything that, from my point of view, cannot be explained, I call either "bullshit" or "love."
* * * * *
We sit on the curb of the square with plastic cups of coffee, stretch our legs. Nothing is thought of. We feel good in this most ordinary weekday. The beauty of life is in an instant. We, the former children, have forgotten how to see it.
Children wake up in the morning and perceive the new day as a miracle, like the first day of their life. Most adults don't know how to do this. We can't stop thinking about tomorrow, we can't leave the past behind. We constantly sigh, regretting something. It's time to retrain. nine0003
* * * * *
Sooner or later we all come to the point of saturation with all kinds of human relationships. It could happen tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, next year or in a few years. This state is called maturity. For me, it's too pretentious. Everything is simpler: you understand that everything that has happened and everything that can happen will no longer penetrate so deeply into you. Not because of the increased armor. It's just that you have so many all kinds of relationships that there is no room for new ones. And then you pass them, yes, filled to the throat and wounded to the bottom, but strong in your own wealth. nine0003
* * * * *
We women of the big cities have become too masculine.
Weaned ourselves from the desire to trust the opposite sex, to show the weakness that is in us by nature, no matter how we argue with it. We are afraid to admit to ourselves how sometimes we want to hug someone and bury our nose on the cheek. Life is beautiful when someone's cheek needs your nose.
* * * * *
You no longer give your all to people. You separate a piece from what you can share, you extend it to someone who is worthy and truly needs. nine0003
* * * * *
Blows to the back are most often delivered by those who are defended with their chests.
* * * * *
I fell in love with the eyes, did not think about what awaits me with this person. Love, like a sponge, easily absorbs not only everything beautiful, but also all human dirt - lies, betrayal, humiliation.
* * * * *
Drink one big mug of coffee for two, buy ugg boots of the same color, hide your frozen chin in your scarf, run in the rain in short dashes from cover to cover.
To live through the winter with thoughts of summer Italy, then finally break out there to bypass the cafes in the sunny squares and gorge on cheese ravioli. nine0003
* * * * *
I thought I would never forget him, and I would live with this disability in my heart. But it turned out that he played only a cameo role.
* * * * *
It turns out that the feeling of happiness inside can always be present, and its especially bright splashes appear in moments.
* * * * *
Sometimes love cannot endure even a short separation. Too fragile feeling, for which neglect is often fatal.
* * * * *
In love, there is no precise definition of anything except the fact of love itself. She either exists or she doesn't. Everything else is pictures with a subjective alignment of feelings and the possibility of consequences. Especially when it comes to the feelings of a woman. We are in love, no matter how we shout about pride and feminism, we think about the whole, and men about themselves.
* * * * *
I'm sorting through the photos and I think: it's good that there are memories. They are, of course, connected to the past, which we often get angry at. But without him, we wouldn't be here today. nine0003
* * * * *
Memories are not part of us, it's better to let them go with us. They have their own right to travel. Believe me, memories know when to move away, to disappear for a while. Complain about their constant presence, those who themselves locked them in themselves.
