“People say that life keeps moving, but they don't mention that it does stop sometimes, just for you. Just for you and your girl. The world stops spinning and just lets you two lie there. Feels like it, anyway. Sometimes. If you're lucky. Call me a romantic if vou have to. Worse things to be.”
― Taylor Jenkins Reid, Daisy Jones & The Six

“And men never understood loving something that didn't breathe air. They didn't understand loving someone who didn't love you back, even if that person said they loved you.”
― Lisa Taddeo, Ghost Lover

“How's conquering the world going, my sweet ruthless girl?' in the delighted dumbed-down tone you would use to tell a house pet it was ferocious.

― Danielle Evans

“I can listen no longer in silence, I must speak to you by such means as are within my reach. You pierce my soul, I am half agony, half hope.”
