Some favorite quotes
"I want to rip off your logic and make passionate sense to you. I want to ride in the swing of your hips. My fingers will dig in you like quotation marks, blazing your limbs into parts of speech." ~ Jeffrey McDaniel
When you hurt people, they begin to love you less. Thats what careless words do. They make people love you a little less. ~ Arundhati Roy
I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim. ~ Frida Kahlo
If you wish to drown, do not torture yourself with shallow water.
Bulgarian Proverb
You couldnt make yourself stop feeling a certain way, no matter what the other person did. You had to just wait. Eventually the feeling went away because others came along. Or sometimes it didnt go away but got squeezed into something tiny, and hung like a piece of tinsel in the back of your mind.
Elizabeth Strout
"I cant sleep. There is a woman stuck between my eyelids. I would tell her to get out if I could. But there is a woman stuck in my throat.
Eduardo Galeano
While I cant have you, I long for you. I am the kind of person who would miss a train or a plane to meet you for coffee. Id take a taxi across town to see you for ten minutes. Id wait outside all night if I thought you would open the door in the morning. If you call me and say Will you my answer is Yes, before your sentence is out. I spin worlds where we could be together. I dream you. For me, imagination and desire are very close.
Jeanette Winterson
One of the cruelest things you can do to another person is pretend you care about them more than you really do.
Douglas Coupland
The past beats inside me like a second heart.
John Banville
Explore me you said and I collected my ropes, flasks and maps, expecting to be back home soon. I dropped into the mass of you and I cannot find the way out. Sometimes I think Im free, coughed up like Jonah from the whale, but then I turn a corner and recognise myself again. Myself in your skin, myself lodged in your bones, myself floating in the cavities that decorate every surgeons wall. That is how I know you. You are what I know.
