وجَلس حزنِي تِجاهي تأملني قليلآ، ثم أجهش الحزن بالبكاء ، وبَقيت صامتة

And my sorrow sat next to me, stared at me for a while,then it burst into tears and I remained silent.

To Live - Yu Hua

Quotes that I really liked and felt the need to underline:

"All it took was a word from the higher-ups and we'd all think and do whatever they wanted."

"You still owe us a life, hold on to your life to repay us."

"No matter how lucky a person is, the moment he decides he wants to die, there's nothing that will keep him alive."

"No matter how many hardships and difficulties people face in life, they always find a way to console themselves when they get close to death."

"If you go on striving for this and that, you’ll end up paying with your life."

"I thought it must be terrible to be an ox. All their lives they're driven to the point of exhaustion for the work of man, and as soon as they get old and their energy starts to go they get sent off to be slaughteted and eaten."

"My memories of Fengxia are my only happiness."

Not a specific time period but I like learning about wars throughout history.

The first person that comes to my mind is the little prince lol. I read its book at least once every year and it feels different each time.

A fresh brew.

Libraries.

The (500) Days of Summer soundtrack, it's lovely.

A cottage on the top of a mountain with an old, huge, and shady tree right beside it OR a mansion that I design myself and it has a huge garden and an art studio in the backyard.

No.

I haven't read much, I will update this later in my life.

Not sure.

I dont like either.

Not sure, all my life I have lived in placed with only 1 or 2 seasons.

I think I should be reading more poetry, I like it but I dont have a strong opinion on it at the moment.

Texting; no, emails; depends on who I am emailing.

I only put 50 songs in each playlist as I discover them, when there is 50 songs in a playlist, I create another one. Sometimes it takes months to reach 50, and sometimes only a couple of weeks. When I listen to my old playlist I can see how ı was back then.

Khaled Hosseini and Dan Brown.

Hot chocolate.

Meadows, I guess.

Mulberry.

i always forget how addicting it feels to read a book and not want to put it down. it happens every time; i should know it by now, should know that i'm going to spend the rest of forever chasing that high, feeling it every time i read a new page or crack a new paperback spine or read a new dedication, but it’s always a pleasant surprise. i think we all know it, right? one more chapter before bed, one more chapter after that, so on and so forth. we all know that the inevitable will happen and we all know we'll will be sucked into the story for the foreseeable future, but we never plan for it. we never schedule it. it's a spontaneous familiarity, like knowing exactly what the crack of lightning looks like across the night sky but still watching through the window in a midnight storm. it's everything i could ever want and it's all that i have at the same time.

The Alchemist

Quotes that I really liked and felt the need to underline:

"When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dream."

"It's not what enters men's mouth that's evil, it's what comes out of their mouth that is."

"Wherever your heart is, that's where you will find your treasure."

"I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you."

"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself."

"All people who are happy have God within them, and that happiness could be found in a grain of sand from the desert. Because a grain of sand is a moment of creation, and the universe has taken millions of years tı create it."

"Every search begins with beginner's luck. And every search ends with the victor's being severely tested."

"Why don't people's hearts tell them to continue to follow their dreams?" The boy asked the alchemist.

"Because that's what makes a heart suffer most, and hearts don't like to suffer."

Starry Night. Loving Vincent (Van Gogh), movie, 2017

The Traveller

Song by Chris de Burgh

In from the coast, riding like the wind and racing the moon,

Shadows on the road, dancing and a-weaving like a crazy fool.

A horseman is coming, death in his heart, for a rendez-vous,

And where the traveller goes, nobody knows,

Where the traveller goes, nobody knows

A candle in the night, fear on every face when he goes inside

(Maybe he's on the run?)

Get back from the bar! A stranger in town is a dangerous sight

(Maybe he's got a gun?)

"Bring a bottle of whisky, ladlord, I wanna talk for a while."

And where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows,

Oh, where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows

There is something in his eyes, something in his hands,

You can almost smell his revenge!

And whoever he is after, it will be disaster:

This man is gonna take him to the very end

Well, the landlord he trembled, staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before.

(You laid him in the ground)

Suddenly remembers a killing, yes, a murder, many years before.

('Twas you that shot him down)

He said to a boy: "Saddle me the black, I'll meet you down below.

With this man I must talk, yes with this traveller I'll go,

With this man I must talk, yes with him I must go."

There is something in his eyes, something in his hands,

I can almost smell his revenge!

And it's me that he's after, it will be disaster:

This man is gonna take me to the very end

And they were never seen again!

I hoped she'd never leave me

Please God you must believe me

I've serched the universe

And found myself

Within' her eyes

"That's the Black Falcon!"

"No, that's Captian America"

I AM CRYIIINNGGGGG

I stopped watching and came here to make this post, it's not even half of the episode yet and there is already so many things to be talked about and my best friend hasn't watched it yet, so here I am.

John Walker literally tried saving the people in the truck and couldn't and I feel like the fact that he actually at least tried doing so is so nice, they never showed Walker do anything for his country until this episode, he was either showing off in the tv, fighting with Sam and Bucky, or killing people. I absolutely hated him until this episode but he was actually nice here. I thought he was making the shield to fight Sam but he actually made it to fight the flagsmashers and lost it along the way.

AND THE FACT THAT BUCKY SAVED WALKER FROM THE FLAGSMASHERS THE WAY HE SAVED SAM IN THE LAST EPISODE FROM WALKER HIMSELF. YOH.

That's some good character development you know. Cause I thought he went crazy but he was actually nice.

And this scene (the one in the pictures) was absolutely amazing, how they showed African Americans here, full of hope and joy... And also, I saw someone say that Walker's suit didn't have any white in it because it represents purity and justice in the American flag, and I love how WHITE Sam's suit is. And also Bucky's smile in this scene (hehe it was nice too)

Sonsuza kadar yaşamak istemiyorum... Sadece sonsuza kadar yaşamak istediğim bir an yaşamak istiyorum.

I study the scene in front of the bus the way I studied my letters in school. Gradually I begin to make out a kind of order in all the disorderness, a pattern to it all. It is like a river, where the currents of buses and trucks and people and animals flow into and around each other. If you look hard enough, chaos turns into order the way letters turn into words
