"It's for my daughter. The man who used it left and took my daughter's heart with him. The repaired bowl will be a souvenir for her."

"Even while I was lying there with him, warm and loose in the aftermath of sex, I could feel another feeling moving through me in irregular waves. It came and went so subtly that at first I almost mistook it for happiness, like the strange dizziness that sometimes follows relief. But it wasn’t relief or not only that, it was the awareness that something breakable had been returned to me and that meant it could be taken away again."

The whole horror of the situation is that he now has a human heart, not a dog's heart. And about the rottenest heart in all creation!

Kindness. The only possible method when dealing with a living creature. You'll get nowhere with an animal if you use terror, no matter what its level of development may be. That I have maintained, do maintain and always will maintain. People who think you can use terror are quite wrong. No, no, terror is useless, whatever its colour – white, red or even brown! Terror completely paralyses the nervous system. — Mikhail Bulgakov, Heart of a Dog

عوضش این اقتباس فوق‌العاه از قلب سگی بولگاکف رو چقدر دوسش داشتم :((( اصلا هر آنچه که از کتاب تصور می‌کردم وقتی می‌خوندمش چند سال پیش، همون بود دقیقا

من فیلم جعفر پناهی رو هم توی همین مدت جنگ دیدم و راستش چی بگم :))) دوسش نداشتم من زیاد

اگه نوشتن نبود، اگه داستانم نبود، چیکار می‌کردم جدی؟ تنها جاییه که هم از واقعیت دوره و هم تمام واقعیت رو بدون سانسور توش می‌تونم نشون بدم.

love her new album :(🩵

This isn't horror. This is grief wearing a porcelain mask if you ask me.🥸 بنده خیلی سال eyes without a face رو توی واچ‌لیستم داشتم و همون روزای جنگ قبل عید دیدمش بالاخره. اگه مثلا از فیلمایی مثل the elephant man خوشتون بیاد، این رو هم خیلی دوست خواهید داشت‌.

My face frightens me. My mask frightens me even more.

also, Satellite is one of the best child characters ever like easily one of my all-time favorites.

دروغ چرا turtles can fly رو (فیلم بهمن قبادیه btw) من دقیقا تو اوج روزای جنگ دیدم. درباره‌ی حمله‌ی آمریکا به عراق و زندگی مردم بین مرز عراق و ترکیه هست و من دیدمش که ببخشید رک می‌گم، حس کنم شرایطی بدتر از شرایط ما هم وجود داشته که بتونم با شرایط جنگ کنار بیام and it just made me cry my eyes out and want to rip my heart out of my ribcage and throw it away.

They know math and science. They have to learn how to shoot now.

Today's tiny victory: buying the complete tales and poems by Edgar Allan Poe and I'm irrationally happy about it.

It's a shame it took me until March 5 to watch Almost Famous.

I always tell the girls, never take it seriously, if you never take it seriously, you never get hurt, you always have fun, and if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends.
