The Basilica del Pilar in Zaragoza, Spain is dedicated to Our Lady of the Pillar, the patron saint of Spain, who is said to have appeared to St. James in the 40 AD and gave him a small wooden statue and a column of jasper and instructed him to build a church in her honor. The statue atop the pillar is present in the church to this day. Amazingly, during the Spanish Civil War, three bombs were dropped on the church, none of which exploded. The architecture is of baroque style, and the present building was predominantly built between 1681 and 1872.

I fucking hate statements like these. Actually, crying can fucking indicate you’re weak.

what, so it’s weak to feel emotion? uhh no, fuck that. i beg to differ.

Maybe you should reread what I wrote. It CAN indicate you’re weak and it can’t. It depends. Why am I even arguing this? I don’t care if you beg to differ. Beg to differ all you want.

Closing your eyes isn’t going to change anything. Nothing’s going to disappear just because you can’t see what’s going on. In fact, things will be even worse the next time you open your eyes. That’s the kind of world we live in, Mr Nakata. Keep your eyes wide open. Only a coward closes his eyes. Closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won’t make time stand still.

Helmer: It’s exasperating! Can you forsake your holiest duties in this way?
Nora: What do you call my holiest duties?
Helmer: Do you ask me that? Your duties to your husband and children.
Nora: I have other duties equally sacred.
Helmer: Impossible! What duties do you mean?
Nora: My duties toward myself.
Helmer: Before all else you are a wife and a mother.
Nora: That I no longer believe. I think that before all else I am a human being, just as much as you are—or, at least, I will try to become one. I know that most people agree with you, Torvald, and that they say so in books. But henceforth I can’t be satisfied with what most people say, and what is in books. I must think things out for myself and try to get clear about them…

Infantile love follows the principle: "I love because I am loved." Mature love follows the principle: "I am loved because I love." Immature love says: "I love you because I need you." Mature love says: "I need you because I love you."
