“I'm with him, but that's exactly the problem. If I'm not enough with him...then I'll never be enough without him. And just because he chose me once doesn't mean he'll choose me every time, especially when I'm no longer so convenient.”
― Alexene Farol Follmuth, My Mechanical Romance

“Pretty Words"

Poets make pets of pretty, docile words:
I love smooth words, like gold-enamelled fish
Which circle slowly with a silken swish,
And tender ones, like downy-feathred birds:
Words shy and dappled, deep-eyed deer in herds,
Come to my hand, and playful if I wish,
Or purring softly at a silver dish,
Blue Persian kittens fed on cream and curds.

I love bright words, words up and singing early;
Words that are luminous in the dark, and sing;
Warm lazy words, white cattle under trees;
I love words opalescent, cool, and pearly,
Like midsummer moths, and honied words like bees,
Gilded and sticky, with a little sting.”
― Elinor Wylie, Selected Works

“A situation is always comic if it participates simultaneously in two series of events which are absolutely independent of each other, and if it can be interpreted in two quite different meanings.”
― Henri Bergson

“I know I’m a far cry from the girl from my dreams, but I want to believe there’s a part of her that lives in me … in every single one of us.”
― Kim Liggett, The Grace Year
