“I feel like I’m floating in plasma I need a teacher or a lover I need someone to risk being involved with me. I am so vain and I am so masochistic. How can they coexist?“”

— Francesca Woodman, from a journal entry featured in Francesca Woodman by Chris Townsend (via watchoutforintellect)

“Two souls are sometimes created together and in love before they’re even born.”

— F. Scott Fitzgerald; The Beautiful and Damned (via sunsetquotes)

lifeinpoetry:

sent home from school for wearing open-toed shoes
sent home from school for a halter roped too loosely over my neck
sent home from school because I wore leggings instead of pants
sent home and told to change out of that too short skirt
sent home because of spaghetti straps
sent home to my mother because there was dress code inspection
and your daughter is not in accordance

Now the mother I wish for a whalebone corset spun tight—
the always desired 20-inch wasp waist—
yet I wish to hold the edges of my mini skirt in my own hands,
to allow whoever I want beneath it.

— Nicole Cooley, from Frozen Charlottes, A Sequence

Marie Howe from an interview c. 1999: “I don’t know anything about the soul. All I know is some things have happened that I don’t understand and they are the most true things I’ve ever known.”

anarcho-shindouism:

practice self-crit it’s healthy

and by that i dont mean like “oh im stupid and awful” I mean like, thinking about how your past belief systems were flawed, what pitfalls you fell into and how you fell into them and accepting all of that for what it is

lifeinpoetry:

They say, give us details, so I give them my body.
They say, give us proof, so I give them my body.

— Hieu Minh Nguyen, from “The Study,” published in Hobart
