Too Close Quotes

“His allure is a warning not to get too close, and I am definitely too close.”
― Rebecca Yarros, Fourth Wing

“In my house we were so near that we could not begin to hear -- we could not speak low enough to be heard; as when you throw two stones into calm water so near that they break each other's undulations.”
― Henry David Thoreau

“I live my life between being loved
or being known
wishing the two were one

To be loved is a wave rushing past
the shoreline; filling every void
To be known is an ache
that never goes away

Now that you love me, are afraid
to know me? Will distance tell you
what your heart refuses to see?

You're too close to me, my love
You're missing everything”
― Lang Leav, September Love
