“She came home from the hospital after her father passed covered in tears. I started crying and kept asking her ‘What can I do for you? Tell me how I can help’…And she looked up at me and said ‘Just hold me..’cause you’re the only thing that can fix me right now.’ ”
- Chris Martin on the inspiration for ‘Fix You’

"I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life. And I am horribly limited."
- Sylvia Plath (via doedearohdeer)

Prada’s Model Actors
This season, Prada employed some familiar faces on the runway: Several of our favorite thespians, including Gary Oldman, Adrien Brody, Jamie Bell, and a grinning Garrett Hedlund. See what other stars gave their best Blue Steel on the catwalk here.

Food For Thought of the Day: McDonald’s UK has announced that it will be temporarily replacing the toy commonly found in the company’s familiar “Happy Meal” with a book.
The fast food chain will thus become — at least for the duration of the giveaway — Britain’s biggest retailer of children’s books, as distributes nine million copies of War Horse author Michael Morpurgo’s Mudpuddle Farm titles.
Morpurgo will reportedly be donating his royalties from the promotion to benefit his charity, Farms for City Children.
In an amusing twist, the Children’s Food Campaign has expressed concern that giving away Mudpuddle books will “make fast food more attractive to children.”
I’ll take fat and well-read over skinny and illiterate any day.

Alligator - Tegan & Sara (Toro Y Moi Remix)
Swaggin’ remix. The original reminds me of the time one summer when I almost went to their concert, but by the time I got to the door, the venue was full and they had already finished playing. For some reason, the memory’s still pretty vivid and the song always takes me back to that time.
Sensitive, it’s true. Alligator tears, cried over you. Over you, over you.
