—Erich Fromm (via flowers-are-dying)
“Never believe a man can change a woman
Those men are pretenders
who think that they created woman
Woman does not emerge from a man’s rib’s, not ever,
it’s he who emerges from her womb” —Nizar Qabbani (via pakizah)

“Our relationships with music sometimes resemble our relationships with people: Familiarity can breed contempt, we can grow apart and our connections can be rooted in specific circumstances that couldn’t (or shouldn’t) be repeated. Music has a way of tethering our memories in place — of making them vivid and specific — but a side effect of that is that our favorite songs and albums often get reduced to little more than fodder for nostalgia.”
—Stephen Thompson on what to do when you’ve burned out on your favorite music (via nprmusic)
