GRACE UNDER PRESSURE
John Everett Millais
Art. Pre-Raphaelites. Shakespeare. Indie/Guitar/Rock/Classical Music. Taylor Swift.
Favourite band: SNOW PATROL, Favourite Artist: TAYLOR SWIFT
'I think about what I’d think of my decisions when I’m 80 looking back, and it helps me make sound, responsible choices.' - Taylor Swift
(If you are a band following me in the hopes I will check out your music, I'm sorry but I probably won't. I don't mean to be rude. I usually find new music through NME Radio.)
Sang froid and Equanimity. Grace under pressure.
'Fill the unforgiving minute...'.
'Oh, Maya says I'm lacking in depth,
I will do my best' - The Strokes
'You're all Chrome' - Heads Will Roll - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
'The ballad of a dove. Go with peace and love.' - The Band Perry
'Excuse me if I spoke too soon
My eyes have always followed you around the room' - NGHFB
'Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine / And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time' - Open Your Eyes - SP
'Shut your eyes, I spin the big chair / And you'll feel dizzy, light, and free / And falling gently on the cushion / You can come and sing to me' - Shut Your Eyes - SP
'Come to me. Just in a dream. Come on and rescue me' - Madness - Muse
Desire leads to SUFFERING.
'The whole of life becomes an act of letting go but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye.' - Life of Pi

"For God’s sake, let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings;
How some have been deposed; some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;
Some poison’d by their wives: some sleeping kill’d;
All murder’d: for within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be fear’d and kill with looks,
Infusing him with self and vain conceit,
As if this flesh which walls about our life,
Were brass impregnable, and humour’d thus
Comes at the last and with a little pin
Bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!"
