Be Drunk

aperfectcommotion:

You have to be always drunk… So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, you have to be continually drunk. But on what? Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish. But be drunk. 

-Baudelaire


"He always wants more. He wants to get you out of your own past."

Catherine Deneuve on film director André Téchiné - New York Magazine, David Edelstein, Her Business is Seduction (March 28, 2011)

(via morningoood)

"Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer."

Rilke (via aperfectcommotion)

Linda Butler, Mosaic Atrium, Herculaneum, near Naples
When archeologists excavated the ruins of Herculaneum in the first half  of the twentieth century, they uncovered the atrium of this elegant  home. The floor, though no longer flat, still displays the original  geometric mosaic pattern from two thousand years ago.
