Shoes/Books/Etsy

"Certain things they should stay the way they are. You ought to be able to stick them in one of those big glass cases and just leave them alone. I know that's impossible, but it's too bad anyway" 
The Catcher in the Rye


Holden would be horrified by the blatant commercialism of it all. But I love my phony new shoes dedicated to my favorite book in high school. Well, still one of my favorites. 


“Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them—if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry.”

Literary Leggings

TRUTH: These are the coolest pants I will ever own.

(If you can't read them, its scenes from Shakespeare's "Hamlet")

My inner book nerd just exploded.



“Tis in my memory lock'd,

And you yourself shall keep the key of it.”
