“I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.”
“So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”

“I was doing press for Eternal Sunshine, and we had a couple of dinner parties. And Leo came to one of those dinners, and that was so fantastic because I haven’t actually seen him for six years. We’ve spoken on the phone, but we haven’t sat down and gone, ‘Oh my God! Do you remember what that was like?’ And then, at one point, he turned around to me and said, ‘Sweetie, why did we get so fat?’ I said, ‘I don’t know!’ And he said, ‘Well, I know what I was doing. I just didn’t give a fuck!’”- Kate Winslet

history meme ∙ (2/7) pairings ∙ hadrian & antinous

Hadrian had a close relationship with a Bithynian Greek youth, Antinous, which was most likely sexual. During a journey on the Nile he lost Antinous, his favourite, and for this youth he wept like a woman. Concerning this incident there are varying rumours; for some claim that he had devoted himself to death for Hadrian, and others — what both his beauty and Hadrian’s sensuality suggest. But however this may be, the Greeks deified him at Hadrian’s request, and declared that oracles were given through his agency, but these, it is commonly asserted, were composed by Hadrian himself. Antinous drowned in 130. Deeply saddened, Hadrian founded the Egyptian city of Antinopolis in his memory, and had Antinous deified – an unprecedented honour for one not of the ruling family. The cult of Antinous became very popular in the Greek-speaking world. (requested by anon)
