Ecstasy. From the Greek ekstasis. Meaning not what you think. Meaning not euphoria or sexual climax or even happiness. Meaning literally: a state of displacement, of being driven out of one’s senses.

Quotes
Oh Louis, you’re too beautiful to be funny. It’s not your fault. You’ve never had to compensate for anything.
Lestat (via incorrecttvcquotes)
I love you and you’re my family, but you’re terrible. You’re all terrible.
Claudia to Louis and Lestat (via incorrecttvcquotes)
Louis may never “get it” with fashion, but I’ll be damned if I’ll be seen in public with him when he’s dressed like the equivalent of mouldy American white bread when I am a divine Parisian croissant.

fýrgebræc
(noun) An Old English word, fýrgebræc is defined as the distinct crackling and breaking noise blazing fire makes. Oftentimes this sound connotes a pleasant sensation, which makes humanity both fond and fearful of the beauty of fire. (via gairid)
Questions that I fear, chapter one. The point of the song is that we are fairly well damaged by the legacy of the romantic poets. We think of love as this thing that is accompanied by strings, and it’s a force for good, and if something bad happens, then that’s not love. And the therapeutic tradition I come from, I used to work in therapy, also says it’s not love if it feels bad. I don’t know so much about that. I don’t know that the Greeks weren’t right. I think they were: that love can eat a path through everything. That it can destroy a lot of things on the way to it’s own objective which is just it’s expression of itself. My step-father loved his family. Now, he mistreated us terribly quite often. But he loved us. Well, that, to me, is something worth commenting on in the hopes of undoing what I see as terrible damage in the way that people talk about love as this benign, comfortable force. It’s not that. It’s wild.
You are the only person who is in charge of how you feel about yourself. Nobody else can possibly do that. You get to decide if you believe you are beautiful or not, and nobody can take it away from you. If someone suggests that you aren’t beautiful, you can consider how sad it is that they have such a limited view of beauty. You can consider how unfortunate it is that they have such an exaggerated sense of self-importance that they think you should care about what they think. You can also choose to realize that it has nothing at all to do with your beauty and everything to do with their limitations.

The vampire who made me was everything that I truly believed evil to be: He was dismal, as literal, as barren, as inevitably eternally disappointing as I believed evil had to be!

Louis if this is you trying to piss your maker off A+ excellent job
Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.
I am self-propelled; fueled from within. I appreciate peoples’ opinions but I’m not attached to them. I learned a long time ago that if I give then the power to feed me I also give them the power to starve me.
