“It's hard writing a love letter when I've never been in love, but love letters aren't really about love; they are about want, luring a future fantasy into the present, so you can feel it—between your fingers, against your lips. I have been looking at it all wrong. It isn't about what I have but what I'm missing. Like a prayer that has no god to hear it. Everyone calls it love, but I think it's something deeper, and the word "love" is just a placeholder.”
― Keith F. Miller Jr., Pritty

“I don't think you can hold in your mind the full conception of what the world is.”
― Anne Rice, The Queen of the Damned
