― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

“In my arms is a woman who has given me a Skywatcher's Cloud Chart, a woman who knows all my secrets, a woman who knows just how messed up my mind is, how many pills I'm on, and yet she allows me to hold her anyway.

― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook

“I try to find meaning anywhere I can. It's the only way I know how to validate my existence.”
― Tiffanie DeBartolo, God-Shaped Hole
