“Men like women who write. Even though they don’t say so. A writer is a foreign country.”

- Marguerite Duras (via smut-to-go) (via wine-loving-vagabond, landlessness)

Find the Beautiful in the Unusual

Photos taken at the Holi Festival (Festival of Colors), this is a spring festival celebrated in India and Nepal, where all distinctions of social class are put aside. People celebrate in the streets, worshipping Krishna, by throwing rich handfuls of colored powders on eachother. Each person that bumps another then carries their colors.

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and — in spite of True Romance magazines — we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely — at least, not all the time — but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don’t see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”

- HUNTER S. THOMPSON
