Black Sails | 1×05- V.

Ava Gardner in The Killers, 1946 dir. Robert Siodmak

I’ve been here a long time. Out of Cuba. A lot of black folks are Cuban. You wouldn’t know from being here now. I was a wild little shortie, man. Just like you. Running around with no shoes on, the moon was out. This one time, I run by this old… this old lady. I was running, howling. Kinda of a fool, boy. This old lady, she stopped me. She said… “Running around, catching a lot of light”. “In moonlight, black boys look blue”. “You’re blue”. “That’s what I’m gonna call you: ‘Blue’.” At some point, you gotta decide for yourself who you’re going to be.
Can’t let nobody make that decision for you.

It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we’d know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow, empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion… we’d be truly dead.

— Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 2

this is what life is. fear, rage, desire… love. to stop feeling emotions, to stop wanting to feel them, is to feel death. […]

i take everything i’m feeling, everything that matters to me… i push all of it into my fist, and i fight for it.

Mass delusions are as old as I am.
I was there when the Martians invaded in 1938. What a panic. P o w e r f u l panic. Now there are starmen waiting in the sky.
They b e l i e v e d it was true, and it was.
