Meghan Frances, 16, New Zealand. My favourite adjective is magical, and I live for the stage. What you see here is what I see in my mind. I owe my (in)sanity to Darren Criss; he is totally awesome.
That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.
F. Scott Fitzgerald (via misiuq)

“There are aspects of his personality that surprises and confuse us, mainly because they are apparent contradictions. Was he shy and withdrawn from society or gregagious and comfortable with others? Was he always witty in his conversations and correspondance or did he have a serious side? Was he conventional by Victorian standars or did he sometimes act in an unconventional manner? Did he follow the moral and ethical codes of his day or did he rebel against the norms of Victorian society? Was his personality gentle and easy-going, or was he strong willed or pedantic? […] Lewis Carroll’s personality is many-faceted and complex.
Mabye this is what attracts us to him - he is a very interesting person. “
