"You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked “female”."
- Erin McKean, You Don’t Have to Be Pretty (via larmoyante)
"‘What of art?’
‘It is a malady.’
‘Love?’
‘An illusion.’
‘Religion?’

‘You are a sceptic.’
‘Never! Scepticism is the beginning of faith.’
‘What are you?’
‘To define is to limit.’"
- Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray (via larmoyante)
When Australia removes itself from the Refugee Convention for asylum seekers who arrive by boat…
"Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic."
- Oscar Wilde (via larmoyante)
