“The seeds of love have taken hold and if we won't burn together I'll burn alone.”
― Bret Easton Ellis, The Rules of Attraction

“Girls are cruellest to themselves.”

“The centre of the world is no longer where she is but where her beloved is; all roads leave from and lead to his house. She uses his words and repeats his gestures, adopts his maniacs and tics. 'I am Heathcliff,' says Catherine in Wuthering Heights; this is the cry of all women in love; she is another incarnation of the beloved, his reflection, his double: she is he. She lets her own world flounder in contingence. She lives in his universe.”
― Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex

“A stranger is someone who sits very still at the kitchen table, looks down at his knuckles, thinks some day we will laugh about this, doesn't believe it.”
― Anne Carson, Glass, Irony and God
