Beck And Call Quotes

“You are the kind of thing who takes from me
And never gives anything away

And when you call to me with your synchronicity
I can't help but run to you

You my horrible star
I can't help but run to you when you call for me”
― Dorothea Lasky, Rome: Poems

“The tendency to invent things had been with her for a long time. Back in high school, she’d pretended not to understand a simple maths problem so as to persuade the boy she fancied into helping her. After studying for the upcoming test together, they’d ended up dating. As an adult, she’d called up a different crush late at night to tell him that she felt like she was being followed, and succeeded in luring him over to her apartment. She didn’t feel guilty about these deceptions. Being neither beautiful nor having any outstanding talents, she needed some hook in order to attract people’s interest. It was something that everyone did, to a greater or lesser degree.”
― Polly Barton, Hooked
