Before creation, there must be destruction.

If my soul stands in the way, I’ll toss it aside.

Yes, I have no choice but to move forward.

Lelouch Lamperouge

No more to build on there. And they, since they

Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs.

About

I started this collection about 7 years ago, collecting words that moved me from everything: books, articles, movies, t-shirts, you name it.

The quotes follow the order I wrote them down, tracing the art I consumed at each stage of my life over these couple of year. I started as a child: many of the initial quotes are from anime and books destined to a younger crowd. Each quote lies in a carved out tissue box in my room, written on note cards, and I am trying to transcribe each one of them to have a digital copy of my collection. There must be over 500 of them so this will definitely take a while :)

Each quote has inspired me in some way, and I hope to share that with anyone who needs a little inspiration.

I need your help!

Many of the quotes have an unknown source, whether it be because I found it without a source or I simply forgot to write it down in the original, hand written copy of the quote. If you know what the source on any of the unknown posts is, please comment and let me know!
