“ I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything. ”

—    F. Scott Fitzgerald (via realizes)

The signs as James Baldwin quotes

Aries: “True rebels, after all, are as rare as true lovers, and in both cases, to mistake a fever for passion can destroy one's life.”
Taurus: "To be sensual, I think, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the making of bread."
Gemini: "When one begins to live by habit and by quotation, one has begun to stop living."
Cancer: “Perhaps home is not a place but simply an irrevocable condition.”
Leo: "The world is before you, and you need not take it or leave it as it was when you came in."
Virgo: “To accept one’s past – one’s history – is not the same thing as drowning in it; it is learning how to use it. An invented past can never be used; it cracks and crumbles under the pressures of life like clay in a season of drought.”
Libra: “For, while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard. There isn't any other tale to tell, it's the only light we've got in all this darkness.”
Scorpio: “Love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. Love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up.”
Sagittarius: “You have to go the way your blood beats. If you don't live the only life you have, you won't live some other life, you won't live any life at all.”
Capricorn: "Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced."
Aquarius: "Ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have."
Pisces: “All art is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story; to vomit the anguish up.”

I just wanted to show y'all my fellow Graduating Spelman Sisters and I all Computer Scientist. Someone tweeted best “The combined brainpower in this photograph is 165 times faster than the world’s fastest supercomputer.” In this photo we have double degrees, PhD candidates, Microsoft employees,etc. We did it y'all. We made it. Black girl magicing never stops ✨
