Thereza Dillwyn Llewelyn (1834 – 1926), Welsh astronomer and pioneer in scientific photography who collaborated in the production of some of the earliest photographs of the moon in the mid-1850s
People are rivers, always ready to move from one state of being into another. It is not fair, to treat people as if they are finished beings. Everyone is always becoming and unbecoming.
Kathleen Winter, Annabel (via wordsnquotes)
I love these comics by Nathan W. Pyle.
