"Imaginary evil is romantic and varied;

real evil is gloomy, monotonous, 

barren, boring. 

Imaginary good is boring; 

real good is always new, 

marvelous, intoxicating." 

– Simone Weil

 

 

“I was ashamed of myself

when I realised 

life was a costume party 

and I attended with my real face”

“Once upon a time,

there was pretty little town named Hamelin. 

Though Hamelin was charming, 

it had two faults. 

Its townspeople were very stingy,

and there were too many rats.”
