Eminem
Walk on Water

are expectations
so high is it the bar i set
my arms i can’t reach

the curse of standard
only human making my
mistakes don’t think you

should believe in me
the way you do i’m terri-
fied to let you down

but doing my best
to not ruin expectations
cause how do i go

without a fight made
a fuckin’ tightrope outta
twine but when i do-

fall from these heights won’t
pout or cry or spiral down
or whine, i decide

if it’s my final
bow this time around if i
walked on water, i drown

V for Vendetta (2006)

May 18, 2019

“We are told to remember the idea and not the man. Because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten. But 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I have witnessed first-hand the power of ideas. I’ve seen people killed in the name of them and die defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it or hold it. Ideas do not bleed. They do not feel pain. They do not love. And it is not an idea that I miss. It is a man. A man that made me remember the 5th of November. A man that I will never forget.”

Atonement (2007)

May 16, 2019

”I don't know how I could've been so ignorant about myself... so... so stupid. And you know what I'm talking about, don't you? You knew before I did.”
”Why're you crying?”
”Don't you know?”
”Yes, I know exactly.”
