Outlandos d'Amour


As these have been the crimes of my passion;
surrealistic sensualities, intimate illusions & other misdemeanors of love, lust, loss & longing

"In order to know virtue, we must acquaint ourselves with vice. Only then can we know the true measure of a man."

- The Marquis de Sade -


If I could have been all that you wanted - all the time.

Godiva

We live our lives with grace
in order that we might die with dignity,
and yet what is the quissential self sacrifice of ones soul
except to live beneath that of another’s shame.
Thus we should all be struck blind
as we gaze upon her
- Humility
