 Favorite Quote: He is merely miscast in a play.
He would have made the perfect knight in a different century, or a very good pagan prince in a time of heroes. He was born in the wrong era, on the wrong side of the river, with the ability to do anything and finding nothing he wants to do.

If you are a dreamer come in,

If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,

A hoper, a pray-er, a magic-bean-buyer,

If you're a pretender come sit by my fire,

For we have some flax, golden tales to spin,

Come in!

FlorenceSong's Favorite Quotes

'But religion gives people the relief of going somewhere after you die.'
No. It gives people false hope. Everyone dies, there's nothing after, accept it.

'But religion gives great morals to live by.'
No. Those should be the morals of every decent human being. You don't need religion to be a nice person.

'Think of how much religion has helped improve the world!'
No. Religion was the reason for the dark ages, so technically, without religion we should be 1000 years more advanced than we are now. Think of all the amazing things we could've accomplished.


'Think of all the people religion has helped!'
Think of all the people religion has killed. Think of all the rapes, murders, wars, hate crimes, all because of religion. The bads outweigh the goods.

'We wouldn't have marriage without religion.'
False. Marriage was originally made without religion, but then it was taken over by the church around the 8th century.

'God is a God of love!'
"If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." Leviticus 20:13 NIV. Sounds incredibly loving.

'Atheism: the theory that nothing happened and then nothing continued to happen.'
Atheism: the theory that we should prove things through science, and not sit around saying 'God did it'.

 

 

Anyone else a fan of the White Queen?
"We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls:"You can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you will threaten the man." Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is most important. Now, marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support. But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don't teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors...for the attention of men. Feminist: A person who believes in the social, political, and economic equality of the sexes."
— Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche

Now I see fire, inside the mountain
I see fire, burning the trees
And I see fire, hollowing souls
I see fire, blood in the breeze
And I hope that you'll remember me

Dad: So we're going to church tomorrow morning?
Mom: ....
Younger Brother: Man, no one told me this..gaaah
Me: I quit religion awhile ago. I'm not obligated by law. I'm allergic to things that don't make sense. No.
"I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right." - Albert Einstein






 The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;

Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;

Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.

     For nothing now can ever come to any good.   ” 




 




" ... It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll.

I am the master of my fate:


I am the captain of my soul. "






This is why dreams can be such dangerous things:
they smolder on like a fire does, and sometimes they consume us completely. ”
