“Give me a few days of peace in your arms—I need it terribly. I’m ragged, worn, exhausted. After that I can face the world.”
— Henry Miller, from a letter to Anaïs Nin, featured in A Literate Passion: Letters of Anaïs Nin & Henry Miller, 1932-1953
That myth about how the face you wear in this life is the face of the person you loved most in your last life. What a beautiful concept.
To be remade in the image of your love. To love someone so much you become them.
I can love the girl staring back in the mirror much more easily, knowing that I did it once before. And that I loved her so fiercely I became her.
“Even after all this time, The sun never says to the earth, ‘You owe me.’ Look what happens with A love like that. It lights the whole sky.”
— Hafiz of Persia (via perrfectly)
