“Maybe we're just born to love and worry about the people we know, and to go on loving and worrying even when there are more important things we should be doing. And if that means the human species is going to die out, isn't it in a way a nice reason to die out, the nicest reason you can imagine? Because when we should have been reorganising the distribution of the world's resources and transitioning collectively to a sustainable economic model, we were worrying about sex and friendship instead. Because we loved each other too much and found each other too interesting. And I love that about humanity, and in fact it's the very reason I root for us to survive - because we are so stupid about each other.”
― Sally Rooney, Beautiful World, Where Are You

Memory... Memory becomes your partner. You hold it... you dance with it... Life has to end, Eddie... Love doesn't.”
― Mitch Albom, The Five People You Meet in Heaven

“Can I take your coat?” Cupcake offers. I turn to her. She’s looking at me so hopefully. So willing to take a coat I’m not wearing, I almost want to give her my skin.”
― Mona Awad, Bunny

“All life is just a progression toward, and then a recession from, one phrase—‘I love you.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Stories
