“Do you love me enough that I may be weak with you? Everyone loves strength, but do you love me for my weakness? That is the real test.”

— Alain de Botton, Essays in Love

That’s what I wanted—to be alone with myself in another world where truth is untrue and life can hide from itself. As if I had drowned long ago. As if I was a ghost belonging to the fog, and the fog was the ghost of the sea.

Eugene O'Neill, from Complete Plays 1932-1943 ; “Long Day’s Journey Into Night,” (via violentwavesofemotion)

You’re beautiful. You walk wonderfully and if I were here and saw you now for the first time I’d be in love with you. If I saw you for the first time everything would turn over inside of me and I’d ache right through my chest.
