"I should've known when Ao3 told me it was only 550 pages (I fully expect, based on the # of chapters left, it's gonna be 1500 pages). I should've known when I couldn't find it on Goodreads, even tho all the other ones are here. I SHOULD'VE KNOWNNNN gone too soon soldier I will always carry a torch for you." Jul 21, 2023 11:06AM

“I feel like a part of my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything.
Maybe we’re from the same star.”
Emery Allen

R.F. Kuang
“He brushed his lips against her forehead as he drove the knife deeper into her back.”
R.F. Kuang, The Dragon Republic

Sylvia Plath
“I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought, "This is what it is to be happy.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Agustina Bazterrica
“there are words that cover up the world.”
Agustina Bazterrica, Tender Is the Flesh

Virginia Woolf
“Finally, to hinder the description of illness in literature, there is the poverty of the language.  English, which can express the thoughts of Hamlet and the tragedy of Lear, has no words for the shiver and the headache.  It has all grown one way.  The merest schoolgirl, when she falls in love, has Shakespeare or Keats to speak her mind for her; but let a sufferer try to describe a pain in his head to a doctor and language at once runs dry.  There is nothing ready made for him.  He is forced to coin words himself, and, taking his pain in one hand, and a lump of pure sound in the other (as perhaps the people of Babel did in the beginning), so to crush them together that a brand new word in the end drops out.  Probably it will be something laughable.”
Virginia Woolf, On Being Ill
