cora

“I’ve hoarded

your name in my mouth for months. My throat

is a beehive pitched in the river. Look!
Look how long this love can hold its breath.”
― Sierra DeMulder, Today Means Amen

“History, huh?”
― Casey McQuiston, Red, White & Royal Blue

“It is impossible to escape the impression that people commonly use false standards of measurement — that they seek power, success and wealth for themselves and admire them in others, and that they underestimate what is of true value in life.”
― Sigmund Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents

“Tell me how all this, and love too, will ruin us.
These, our bodies, possessed by light.
Tell me we'll never get used to it.”
― Richard Siken, Crush
