Isn't it funny. I'm enjoying my hatred so much more than I ever enjoyed love. Love is temperamental. Tiring. It makes demands. Love uses you, changes its mind. But hatred, now, that's something you can use. Sculpt. Wield. It's hard, or soft, however you need it. Love humiliates you, but Hatred cradles you.

- Janet Fitch, White Oleander

Anything I ever did, I did it terribly. Whenever I loved, I loved terribly; whenever I hated, I hated terribly; whenever I got attached to someone or something, I attached terribly; whenever I decided to detach, I detached terribly; and I don't know if others are perfectly perfect at existing or if they have mastered the art of masking their hearts.

"Of course I'll hurt you. Of course you'll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.

- Antoine de Saint Exupéry, The Little Prince (via books-n-quotes)

"Her eyes fill up with tears again and she closes them. Even in memory she will find this moment unbearably intense, and she's aware of this now, while it's happening. She has never believed herself fit to be loved by any person. But now she has a new life, of which this is the first moment, and even after many years have passed she will still think: Yes, that was it, the beginning of my life."

- Sally Rooney, Normal People

“Do not fall in love with people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave, you will finally understand, why storms are named after people.”

Don't think of me too often. I don't want to think of you getting all maudlin. Just live well.

Just live.

Love,

Will

Can we just normalise exchanging love letters, holding hands, giving flowers and long walks. Why is everything so quick these days? I want slow love back.

"There's an opposite to déjà vu. They call it jamais vu. It's when you meet the same people or visit places, again and again, but each time is the first. Everybody is always a stranger. Nothing is ever familiar."

“i wanna marry someone who makes me feel like i’m at an art museum, or a library, or a concert, all at once, art all around me. only that the person is the art i stare at”
