I want an arrow tattoo because of the quote: An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. So when life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means it’s going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming.

“O mistress mine, where are you roaming?
O, stay and hear! Your true love’s coming,
That can sing both high and low:
Trip no further, pretty sweeting.
Journeys end in lovers meeting,
Every wise man’s son doth know.”- Twelfth Night (Act II, Scene ii) by William Shakespeare translated into Doctor’s Cot Gallifreyan by brittanybgood
To celebrate hitting 100 followers, I decided to translate Shakespeare’s song/poem from Twelfth Night (Act II, Scene ii) O, Mistress Mine to show how the system worked when applied to a lot of text. It took me a few weeks but I’ve finally finished it. Right click on images in photoset for high-res.

Quote reblogged from unironically untitledFor instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (via nipplemoustache)
