“When you love someone, it seeps out of everything you do, it bleeds into everything you say, it becomes so ever-present, that eventually it becomes ordinary to hear no matter how extraordinary it is to feel.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, One True Loves

“Preserve me from such cordiality! It is like handling briar-roses and may-blossoms - bright enough to the eye, and outwardly soft to the touch, but you know there are thorns beneath, and every now and then you feel them too; and perhaps resent the injury by crushing them in till you have destroyed their power, though somewhat to the detriment of your own fingers.”
― Anne Brontë, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall

“Of course, I must say that I don't think America is God's gift to anybody--if it is, God's days have got to be numbered. That God these people say they serve--and do serve, in ways that they don't know--has got a very nasty sense of humor. Like you'd beat the shit out of Him, if He was a man. Or: if you were.”
― James Baldwin, If Beale Street Could Talk

“Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence.”
― Oscar Wilde
