“What is desire? Desire is a restaurant. Desire is watching you eat. Desire is pouring wine for you. Desire is looking at the menu and wondering what it would be like to kiss you. Desire is the surprise of your skin. Look - in between us now are the props of ordinary life - glasses, knives, cloths, Time has been here before. History has had you - and me too. My hand has brushed against yours for centuries. The props change, but not this. Not this single naked wanting you.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Two Stories

“I’m not trying to argue that all effort is fairly rewarded, but if there is a God in heaven, was it asking too much to let me glimpse a sign? Was it too much to expect a little kindness?”
― Haruki Murakami, What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, Born To Run, Natural Born Heroes 3 Books Collection Set

“I want to live in this field with you.
Loving you,
Wanting you,
Having you,
Becoming you,
Leaving you.”
― D.C. Thomas, Her Suns And Their Daughters: Daughters Of The Universe Seen

“I became the color red
boiling-hot lava
rising to the surface

I became a dragon
and the planet Mars

I became
war

I became
rage and revenge”
― Ibi Zoboi, Punching the Air
