“It isn’t fair to be the kind of creature who is able to love but unable to stay.”

“I loved how a book, a story, a set of words in a sentence organized in the exact right order, made you miss places you’ve never visited, and people you’ve never met.”
― Ashley Poston, The Seven Year Slip

“Innan han gick av tryckte han sina händer mot mina, precis på samma sätt som han gjorde innan vi steg på, och så sa han, med den där hesa rösten som gjorde att jag föll för honom från första början:
- Jag älskar dig så jävla mycket, Matilda, du fattar väl det?
Och det är inte hjärtat som går sönder. Det är revbenen.”
― Sandra Beijer, Allt som blir kvar

“Sometimes the people you loved left you halfway through a story. Sometimes they left you without a goodbye. And, sometimes, they stayed around in little ways. In the memory of a musical. In the smell of their perfume. In the sound of the rain, and the itch for adventure, and the yearning for that liminal space between one airport terminal and the next. I hated her for leaving, and I loved her for staying as long as she could. And I would never wish this pain on anyone.”
― Ashley Poston, The Seven Year Slip
