“I’m not a religious person but I do sometimes think god made you for me.” -Normal People “Gradually the waiting began to feel less like waiting and more like this was simply what life was: the distracting tasks undertaken while the thing you are waiting for continues not to happen.” -Conversations with Friends
"Maybe we're just born to love and worry about the people we know, and to go on loving and worrying even when there are more important things we should be doing. And if that means the human species is going to die out, isn't it in a way a nice reason to die out, the nicest reason you can imagine? Because when we should have been reorganising the distribution of the world's resources and transitioning collectively to a sustainable economic model, we were worrying about sex and friendship instead. Because we loved each other too much and found each other too interesting. And I love that about humanity, and in fact it's the very reason I root for us to survive - because we are so stupid about each other." -BWWAY

“And hopefully I have changed, you know, as a person. But honestly, if I have, it's because of you”“That's money, the substance that makes the world real. There's something so corrupt and sexy about it”
“She has never believed herself fit to be loved by any person. But now she has a new life, of which this is the first moment, and even after many years have passed she will still think: Yes, that was it, the beginning of my life”
“If God wanted me to give you up, he wouldn't have made me who I am.”
You live through certain things before you understand them. You can’t always take the analytical position.
“And we hate people for making mistakes so much more than we love them for doing good that the easiest way to live is to do nothing, say nothing, and love no one.” - BW,WAY.
