"Of course Louis released Rose and then he bowed just as if he were at a ball in old New Orleans after the opera. I came up beside him and took his hand.
“What are you doing?” he asked.
“Dancing with you,” I said. I turned him easily this way and that to the music. I could see he found this immediately awkward, to be dancing with me as a woman might dance with a man, and then something playful and vibrant came into his eyes. He gave himself up to it. I turned us around fast twice and then three times, and we broke the pattern and then my arm slipped around his waist and I danced beside him, in step with him, like the Greek men do it. “Do you like this better?” I asked.
“I don’t know,” he said. He appeared brimming with happiness. But I was the one truly brimming with happiness. The music seemed to move us as if we were powerless, borne along exquisitely, and then we faced each other again and we were simply dancing in a loose, comfortable embrace, intimate, making one body and then two bodies, and one body again. All around us were dancers, dancers pressing in so that at last we were dancing without really moving our feet. But what did it matter? One can dance that way. One can dance a thousand ways."
"I couldnât answer. I knew I loved him more than words could say, but I couldnât respond."
âLestat about Louis, Blood Communion (Anne Rice)
"I love you with my whole soul, and I will always love you,â he confided to me. âYou are my life. I have hated you for that and love you now so much that youâve been my instructor in loving. And believe me when I say you will survive this, and that you must for all of us. You will survive because you always have and you always will."

saddest asoiaf quotes [10/?]
At first the magisters and archons and merchant princes were pleased to welcome the
last Targaryens to their homes and tables, but as the years passed and the Usurper
continued to sit upon the Iron Throne, doors closed and their lives grew meaner. Years
past they had been forced to sell their last few treasures, and now even the coin they had
gotten from Mother’s crown had gone. In the alleys and wine sinks of Pentos, they called
her brother “the beggar king.” Dany did not want to know what they called her.
margotverger:
Their bond is brotherly but also romantic and (somehow, powerfully) sexual. This battle is its long-delayed consummation: the sex scene between Will and Hannibal that has been repeatedly imagined in so much fan art, or, to quote Fuller again, a coded “three-way” — one of many imagined by this censorship-flouting network series — wherein “you eliminate the third [participant] and get to business with the two who matter.” Will’s necessary and also eager participation in a killing (he’d only been a passive accessory before) is the sex act Hannibal has been urging him toward, as seen in the dream image (Will’s or Hannibal’s? We don’t know) of the two in a church, Hannibal dressed in a seersucker jacket with a Windsor-knotted tie. “I was rooting for you, Will,” Hannibal says. “It’s a shame: You came all this way and you didn’t get to kill anybody.” He’s not a virgin anymore. He gave it up for Hannibal.
Hannibal Redefined How We Tell Stories On TV
"And Lot’s wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human.
So, she was turned into a pillar of salt. So it goes.
People aren’t supposed to look back. I’m certainly not going to do it anymore."
carl on his split with peter
missoneminute:
Reposting as I omitted a couple good ones. As requested by anon some weeks ago, here’s a selection of Carl’s quotes about, and during, his separation/splits from Peter. They are from interviews spanning 2003-2015. Big ole walls of emo coming at ya. There’s so much material that I’ll do a part two at some stage. Peter’s quotes coming soon too. Enjoy the pain, after the cut.

"I was so defeated by the demise of the Libertines in 2004 that I was a sombre self-medicated mess. We had been due to play the Isle of Wight festival that year, under [David Bowie], and of course, owing to what seemed to be the final implosion of the band, we had been forced to pull out. I went along for the ride, and to see what I couldâve won, with my dear friend Tim Burgess of the Charlatans, and as they played a storming set, I sat at the side of the stage and wept. A big fat tear rolled down my cheek, and I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see a very innocuous-looking fellow in a brown baseball cap, and within moments I realised I was looking into the eyes of David Bowie himself. âYou alright?â he asked. âYeah,â I replied. âCheers.â And we watched the Charlatans for a bit, and then he disappeared. But I was sure the look heâd given me was a knowing one - my Uncle Dave. I didnât need for him to come and see my squat, or to be my friend, any more than he wouldâve wanted to. But then he didnât need to either - our relationship was as strong as it ever had been, in my mind."

character quotes: the jon storyline
When he claimed the eagle that had been Orell’s, he could feel the other skinchanger raging at his presence. Orell had been slain by the turncloak crow Jon Snow, and his hate for his killer had been so strong that Varamyr found himself hating the beastling boy as well. He had known what Snow was the moment he saw that great white direwolf stalking silent at his side. One skinchanger can always sense another. Mance should have let me take the direwolf. There would be a second life worthy of a king. He could have done it, he did not doubt. The gift was strong in Snow, but the youth was untaught, still fighting his nature when he should have gloried in it. - VARAMYR
