"If you don’t like somebody in two minutes, you’re done with them forever. You can’t live in the world with such strong likes and dislikes."

Salinger, Franny and Zooey

I’m not as harsh as he is. I usually give people a chance…and then many more long after I decide I don’t like them. (Don’t let my tough “I hate people” act fool you. I’m actually terrified of hurting people’s feelings.) But once I’m done with someone, I’m done. No matter how I force it, there’ll always be a crack. I can’t un-unlike them. I don’t think it’s super bad to have such strong likes and dislikes, it’s not great, but it’s not bad. Especially when I give people as many chances as I do.

"‘I’m bored’ is a useless thing to say. You live in a great, big, vast world that you’ve seen none percent of. Even the inside of your own mind is endless. It goes on forever, inwardly — you understand? The fact the you’re alive is amazing. So you don’t get to be bored."

LOUIS C.K. (via beautilation)

Agreed. I hate people who say they’re bored. I especially hate them more if they tell me that expecting me to entertain them, like I’m a circus bear. Nope. You’re in charge of your own entertainment, you lazy ass.

Catherine the Great
bobcatsaltypretzel answered: catherine the great was cool too. she had girl balls.

Epic hair, gorgeous eyes, delicate smile. Her full name was Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst. She was the Empress of Russia for more than 30 years, and may or may not have killed her own husband to get into that position. She did some major expansion, gave nobles hella a lot of power, loved culture, art, education and reading and was just all around, yes, a woman with serious balls.

Louis Antoine de Saint-Just
headlessfashion answered: Louis Antoine St-Just.

“A nation regenerates itself only upon heaps of corpses.”

Saint-Just quoting Mirabeau before members of the Committee of Public Safety, October 17, 1793.

“Happiness is a new idea in Europe.”

Saint-Just, speech to the National Convention, March 3, 1794.

Cute girly boy, died at the horribly young age of 26 via guillotine. He was a French Revolutionary leader, and a somewhat radical one at that. He was pretty famous for his involvement in the Reign of Terror and the Thermidorian Reaction.

Oh yeah, and he was also BFFs with Maximilien Robespierre. And if you look them up on DA you find tons of art of them being gays. Hmmm.
