THIS PERSON HAS SEEN STRAIGHT INTO MY SOUL
"I have wrapped myself round in my own personality again. How does it come about - these sudden,intense changes of view? Perhaps my life is unusually conscious: very vivid to me. But when I enter a complete world of its own, I realise that this is existing whether I exist or not; and so get bowled over."
— Virginia Woolf, Diary Entry, 9 May 1926. (via violentwavesofemotion)

"I spent my life learning to feel less.
Everyday I felt less.
Is that growing old? Or is it something worse?
You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness."

Fascinating tidbits!
MARCH 2, 1904: DR. SEUSS BORN
On this day in 1904, Theodor Seuss Geisel was born. He would have been 108 today.
Most people know Dr. Seuss as the man behind The Cat in the Hat. But how many know that Yertle the Turtle was modeled after Hitler - or that Dr. Seuss created WWII political cartoons that denounced racism, isolationism and other issues of the day?
From 1941 to 1943, Seuss served as chief editorial cartoonist for the New York liberal newspaper PM, and his work commented on issues of the day. His political cartoons during World War II denounced isolationism, racism and anti-Semitism.Flip through Independent Lens’ “The Political Dr. Seuss” photo gallery.

WHAT? His political cartoons promoted racism, particularly against the Japanese. It even says so on the page that was linked to. People and their ice cream hindsight.
half true shane - he was solely racist in his Japanese portrayals (which doesn’t make it any better):
[In Dr. Seuss Goes to War, historian Richard H. Minear, writes: “…it is a surprise that a person who denounces anti-black racism and anti-Semitism so eloquently can be oblivious of his own racist treatment of Japanese and Japanese Americans…. to realize that the cartoonist is the same Dr. Seuss we celebrate today for his imagination and tolerance and breadth of vision: this is a sobering experience.”]
