I must be a mermaid,
I have no fear of depths,
and a great fear of shallow living.

I’m so happy Arsenal didn’t win the Champions League. If a horse rode through my chest right now, it wouldn’t stumble lmao.

It doesn’t matter if you deserve it. If you get a hold of something good, you don’t fucking let go.

My love is not easily withdrawn, but it is not stupid. It has eyes. It has memory. It has boundaries. It knows when something sacred has been violated.

[Adeyinka Doja @dedoja_]

Not everyone has to perform grand love. But when someone's need appears in front of you, your response reveals the shape of your care.

Intellectual people are not rare. There are a great many of them.

An intellectual person is a person who has the genius to grasp the fact that it is a curious experience to be alive; so curious in fact that it is madness not to sacrifice everything to get the full taste of it.

I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.

The patrician took a sip of his beer. “I have told this to few people, gentlemen, and i suspect i never will again, but one day when i was a young boy on holiday in Uberwald, I was walking along the bank of a stream when i saw a mother Otter with her cubs.

If there’s any kind of supreme being, i told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior.”

; from Terry Pratchett’s Unseen Academicals

[Adeyinka Doja @dedoja_]

“I did it for love” is the sentence that allows a person to exchange something essential for something immediate.

States use it. Families use it. Individuals use it. It is the most efficient solvent of responsibility ever devised.

[Adeyinka Doja @dedoja_]

Optimism is useful until it becomes a weapon against your morale.

[Adeyinka Doja @dedoja_]

@Iglaire_ Wow, that’s actually really nice to hear. I’ve been around, just quiet for a bit 🤍

Can an outsider judge a people’s survival customs without first bearing the cost that created them?

[Adeyinka Doja @dedoja_]

@Collins_Menin I know! Thank you!

[Adeyinka Doja @dedoja_]

I really did forget about Twitter.

The men who win are usually the ones who have already lost enough to know what cannot be done.
