“As the people who adore you stop adoring you; as they die; as they move on; as you shed them; as you shed your beauty; your youth; as the world forgets you; as you recognize your transience; as you begin to lose your characteristics one by one; as you learn there is no-one watching you, and there never was, you think only about driving - not coming from any place; not arriving any place. Just driving, counting off time. Now you are here, at 7:43. Now you are here, at 7:44. Now you are gone.”
— Charlie Kaufman, Synecdoche, New York (via clavicola)

—Henri Matisse“I hurry home as though someone is there waiting for me.
The night collapses into your skin. I am the rain.”— Kazim Ali, from “Rain” (via proustitute)
