We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were much too afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the courage to yield to.
—Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray (via danseurs)
(via inandoutagain)
there was adam
happy as can be
along came eve
ate the apple from the tree
just like a woman
they’ll do it every time
Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
