“You watch the world bang door after door in your face, numbly, bitterly. You have forgotten the secret you knew, once, ah, once, of being joyous, of laughing, of opening doors.”

- Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath (via seabois)

“People always think they know other people, but they don’t. Not really. I mean, maybe they know things about them, like they won’t eat doughnuts or they like action movies or whatever. But they don’t know what their friends do in their rooms alone at night or what happened to them when they were kids or if they feel fucked up and sad for not reason at all.”

- Libba Bray (via seabois)

“Depression is the most unpleasant thing I have ever experienced… . It is that absence of being able to envisage that you will ever be cheerful again. The absence of hope. That very deadened feeling, which is so very different from feeling sad. Sad hurts but it’s a healthy feeling. It is a necessary thing to feel. Depression is very different.”

- J.K. Rowling (via seabois)

Grace Hartigan, Untitled, 1959

From the Cleveland Museum of Art:

In the male-dominated art world of 1950s New York, Grace Hartigan became a key member of the younger generation of Abstract Expressionists to follow Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. Committed to bold abstraction, she created a personal style developing out of her interests in the figure and the urban environment.

“No one ever gives those kids the microphone and says, ‘Tell us, what the fuck is going on.’ They don’t show them because none of them know how to talk to you. It took me 20 years to get over here, learn the language, become a pop star and say, ‘Finally, I get the microphone!’ This is what I was going to say if I got it when I was 10.”

- M.I.A. (via spring1999)
