+365 films challenge | #087: Pan’s Labyrinth (2006)
“You’re getting older, and you’ll see that life isn’t like your fairy tales. The world is a cruel place. And you’ll learn that, even if it hurts. Magic does not exist. Not for you, me, or anyone else.”
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]
+Bright Eyes - “Train Under Water”
‘So don’t stay mad, just let some time pass
And in the morning you’ll wake feeling new
And if I don’t come back (I mean!) if I get sidetracked
It’s only cause I wanted to
I’m keeping up with the moon on an all-night avenue”
I said nothing for a time, just ran my fingertips along the edge of the human-shaped emptiness that had been left inside me.
Haruki Murakami (via tomorrowmidnight) +He stared up at the stars: and it seemed to him then that they were dancers, stately and graceful, performing a dance almost infinite in its complexity. He imagined he could see the very faces of the stars; pale, they were, and smiling gently, as if they had spent so much time above the world, watching the scrambling and the joy and the pain of the people below them, that they could not help being amused every time another little human believed itself the center of its world, as each of us does.
Neil Gaiman, Stardust (via divine-despair) +I want to be magic. I want to touch the heart of the world and make it smile. I want to be a friend of elves and live in a tree. Or under a hill. I want to marry a moonbeam and hear the stars sing. I don’t want to pretend at magic anymore. I want to be magic.
Charles de Lint (via acuorre) +ussrocker asked: I forgot to thank you for my link to the walking dead. All my usual sites had it removed already, so thank you :3
You’re welcome! :)
