People say the classics are outdated, but The Great Gatsby has never been more relevant.

The five love languages:

1. Giving me a book.
2. Taking me to a bookstore.
3. Reading books next to each other.
4. Leaving me alone with a book.
5. Talking with me about a book.

if you love someone, let them read.
in peace. preferably alone. in a gothic castle library that harbors a dark and ancient secret.

big secret to happiness is just liking stuff. finding more stuff to like. finding ways to like stuff you didn't before. recognizing what it feels like to like something and doubling down on that. what feels frivolous is actually the whole ballgame

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:

“It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.

“There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.

“If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice!

“Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”

ever since i was a little girl i have loved staying up really late hanging out with myself and thinking about stuff and things

[yuuii @yuuiichive]

Live life fully, buy yourself a book. Read the book. Don’t finish it. Buy another book. Go on a long walk. Read 3 pages of the book at the park. Buy another book. Add the book to a pile. Feel the breeze on your skin. Buy another book. Annotate the first chapter. Go buy another bo

I hate that everyone thinks your life is just supposed to be mundane and boring once you’re an adult. enjoy your nerdy hobbies and interests!! who cares!! we’re on a floating rock in space.

tonight the moon was so beautiful I almost cried looking at her but when I went to take a picture all I got was a blurry white ball and it made me rethink how I feel about seeing pictures of myself that I don’t love

North Carolina has so many things going for it that make it top for business. But it’s the people of North Carolina that make us the #1 state for business in the country.

[Karly Kingsley @karlykingsley]

When Roe was overturned and women bled out in ERs, we heard “states’ rights. When guns became the #1 killer of kids, still “states’ rights.” But one protest against injustice? Suddenly there’s federal boots on the ground. They don’t panic when people die, only when they speak.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

As my father said, “BUT IT IS NOT ENOUGH for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.”
