“But surely every man is his own god: Fortune refuses her aid to those who merely pray, and take no action.”
― Ovid, The Fall of Icarus

“How do I look away now that I have seen you ?”
― Rachel Mennies, The Naomi Letters

“I bolt my body whenever I get the chance. How many pills does it take to fall asleep? How many to meet the dead?”
― Warsan Shire, Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head: Poems

“Nobody is right for anyone. Actually, what makes somebody right is commitment. Then when you’re committed to each other and you have true dialogue, that means you allow the other to impact upon you and they allow you to impact on them. You’re not rigid and unchanging; you are moved by each other. It’s like two stones rubbing together until suddenly they fit. You have your initial years of sexual attraction and then something deeper can hook in. Rather than having a relationship with your fantasy of that person you begin to have a real relationship with them; you’ve impacted each other enough to actually know each other. And to know someone is to love them.”
― Natasha Lunn, Conversations on Love
