“The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got to happen inside first.”
—Jim Morrison (via socraticpunk) (via commondense) (via yourwonderingmind) (via heartmindspirit)
“There are two kinds of visual memory: one when you skillfully re-create an image in the laboratory of your mind, with your eyes open; and the other when you instantly evoke, with shut eyes, on the dark inner-side of your eyelids, the objective, absolutely optical replica of a beloved face, a little ghost in natural colors.”
—Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita (via moonandmoon)
