“I feel like my life has a lot of caves and they are all filled with your hair: a love story.”
― Melissa Broder, So Sad Today: Personal Essays

“In this moment I resolve to kiss my husband with an open mouth forever. I want to freeze him the way I see him in this instant: dark eyebrows, sexy, sleepy hair and sleepy eyes. But we can't freeze the way that we see the people we love, as much as we would wish. I know that I will kiss my husband with a closed mouth again, at some point. I know that I will even kiss him with a closed heart.

I pray for our love. I pray that even if I kiss my husband with a closed heart, my heart opens again to him. When I desire my husband. I am grateful to desire my husband. What can we hope for in a marriage but to keep seeing things anew? With the people we love, it is so easy to stop seeing them at all.”

“قال في نفسه إنه ليس من الصعب التعلّق بشخص متألّق، كامل و أنيق : فهذا النوع من الحب ليس سوى رد فعل تافه يولده فينا الجمال آليًا و صدفة.
أما الحب الصادق، فيجنح إلى خلق المحبوب انطلاقًا من كائن ناقص، كائن ناقص بمقدار ما هو إنساني.”

“أدب الناس بالحب كما علمتك ، و من لم يؤدبه الحب يؤدبه المزيد من الحب”
