― John Boyne

“I am not meant to be alone and without you who understands.”
― Carson McCullers, The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter

“...you can hate a place with all your heart and soul and still be homesick for it.”

“Love blurs your vision; but after it recedes, you can see more clearly than ever. It's like the tide going out, revealing whatever's been thrown away and sunk: broken bottles, old gloves, rusting pop cans, nibbled fishbodies, bones. This is the kind of thing you see if you sit in the darkness with open eyes, not knowing the future.”
― Margaret Atwood, Cat’s Eye
