it's not a sorority, it's a coven

You have to know how to use the accident, how to recognise it, how to control it, and ways to eliminate it so that the whole surface looks felt and born all at once.

—Helen Frankenthaler

I wonder how many people I’ve looked at all my life and never seen.

—John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent (via quotethat)

I multiplied myself to feel myself,
To feel myself I had to feel everything,
I overflowed, I did nothing but spill out,
I undressed, I yielded,
And in each corner of my soul there’s an altar to a different god.

Fernando Pessoa, “Time’s Passage.” (via pigmenting)
