“Pe atunci, ziceam că Parisul e minunea minunilor, și așa și era. La urma urmei, noi l-am inventat. Noi l-am creat, cu dorurile noastre, cu țigările și romul St. James; l-am plăsmuit din fum și conversații deștepte, crude, și vai de cei care ar fi spus că nu e al nostru. Împreună am făcut tot, apoi l-am desfăcut iar în bucăți.”
― Paula McLain, The Paris Wife

“„Mi-am plâns ochii din orbite de atâtea ori încât am epuizat toată apa pe care o aveam în organism. Simțeam nevoia să mă hidratez cu votcă, să îmi umplu toate golurile cu fum și să mă fut fără să știu cum îl cheamă, câți ani are și ce dracu' vrea el de la viață. Să fiu egoistă, infectă, egocentristă, așa cum au fost și ei.”
― Ana Mănescu, alter.ego.

“I am starting to accept
that you never loved me.
And it's sad
because I don't think you see
how beautiful you are to me.
Your face was the light
that chased away the shadows,
every nightmare, every fear.
But you burned out and now
I'm learning to be afraid
of the dark once again.”
― Sade Andria Zabala, Coffee and Cigarettes

“when you walk, you look like you’re trying to disappear.
your back is gonna be fucked up.
why do you think change is so hard? is it because you’re afraid?
people might think you’re pretty, but they’ll never love you.
you talk like you’re apologizing for your own voice.
speak up.
grow up.
find your spine, stop shrinking.
there is nothing brave about keeping silent.
how many times have you been in love? I can’t picture it ever happening for you.
you lie because it makes you feel free. this is a prison.
you’re always gonna think about him. you will never get him out of your system.
I wish I never had to see you again.
you poor thing.
go to hell.
you may be a nice person but you will never be a good person.
no one is ever going to want to touch you.
is there a vision in your head of who you want to be?
you do not have the strength to become her.
there is no boat big enough to keep you from drowning in the sea of yourself.
go to bed, baby.
you are tired from all of this nothing.
sleep.
rest.”
