“If you love me, Henry, you don’t love me in a way I understand.”
Richard Siken, Crush

Graciliano Ramos
“O menino mais novo interrogou-o com os olhos. Sim, com certeza as preciosidades que se exibiam nos altares da igreja e nas prateleiras das lojas tinham nomes. Puseram-se a discutir a questão intricada. Como podiam os homens guardar tantas palavras? Era impossível, ninguém conservaria tão grande soma de conhecimentos. Livres dos nomes, as coisas ficavam distantes, misteriosas. Não tinham sido feitas por gente. E os indivíduos que mexiam nelas cometiam imprudência. Vistas de longe, eram bonitas. Admirados e medrosos, falavam baixo para não desencadear as forças estranhas que elas porventura encerrassem.”
Graciliano Ramos, Vidas Secas

Graciliano Ramos
“He was stupid, yes; he had never had any schooling; he didn't know how to explain himself. Was he in jail because he doesn't know how to explain things right? What was wrong with his being stupid? He worked like a slave, day in and day out. [...] Was it his fault he was stupid? Who was to blame?”
Graciliano Ramos, Vidas Secas

Taylor Jenkins Reid
“I spent half my time loving her and the other half hiding how much I loved her.”
Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

Richard Siken
“You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you. And you feel like you’ve done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills, or shoveled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired. You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him, and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you, like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body, like you’ve discovered something you didn’t even have a name for.”
