“girls always make themselves smaller, more compact, while boys always take up as much space as possible. why is that? do we think we don’t deserve the same amount of space in the world? are we afraid they won’t like us if we do?”
― dana czapnik, The Falconer

“It’s a sad day when you finally realize that not everyone you love has to love you back. It’s a lesson I keep on forgetting I’ve learned before.”
― Dana Czapnik, The Falconer

“It's good to be a little lonely. It reminds you of the importance of other people. A person too comfortable in loneliness loses touch with the wonderful things. Laughing alone in a room should always be tinged with a bit of sadness. But a little bit of loneliness serves another purpose, too. It's a good reminder of the small piece of land that is your self.”
― Dana Czapnik, The Falconer

“It's that thing when you're with someone, and you love them and they know it, and they love you and you know it... but it's a party... and you're both talking to other people, and you're laughing and shining... and you look across the room and catch each other's eyes... but - but not because you're possessive, or it's precisely sexual... but because... that is your person in this life. And it's funny and sad, but only because this life will end, and it's this secret world that exists right there in public, unnoticed, that no one else knows about. It's sort of like how they say that other dimensions exist all around us, but we don't have the ability to perceive them. That's - That's what I want out of a relationship. Or just life, I guess.”
