antigonick“You want to be brothers-in-arms, to have him to yourself… to be shipwrecked together, (to) perform valiant deeds to earn his admiration, to save him from certain death, to die for him - to die in his arms, like a Spartan, kissed once on the lips… or just run his errands in the meanwhile. You want him to know what cannot be spoken, and to make the perfect reply, in the same language.”
— Tom Stoppard, The Invention of Love
“We know very little even of the persons we know most intimately; we do not know them enough to transfer them to the pages of a book and make human beings of them. People are too elusive, too shadowy, to be copied; and they are also too incoherent and contradictory.”
— W. Somerset Maugham, The Summing Up
I don’t care if it’s Twilight or Fifty Shades or War and Peace - Never let someone make you ashamed of what you love to read.

I am irritated by my own writing. I am like a violinist whose ear is true, but whose fingers refuse to reproduce precisely the sound he hears within.

Hjalmar Söderberg, from Doctor Glas (Anchor, 2002; first published 1905)
Let me photograph you in this light in case it is the last time.

Quiet people are actually talkative around the right people.
Sometimes happiness lies amongst the flowers. Within the trees. During a beautiful sunrise. Sometimes that’s all it takes to find happiness; is to open our eyes to the simplest of wonders.
You dont need a perfect relationship. All you need is someone who loves your weirdness, wants to spend time with you and respects you.

To love is to suffer and there can be no love otherwise.
Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes From Underground (via notesfromtheundergroundman)
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
1 Corinthians 13:4-6 (NLT)
