“You shall leave everything you love most dearly:
this is the arrow that the bow of exile
shoots first.”
― Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy: Inferno - Purgatorio - Paradiso

“Why didn't it happen between us? Why did I fail? Why did you come close enough...and not closer?”
― Tennessee Williams, Summer and Smoke

“There's a kind of time travel in letters, isn't there? I imagine you laughing at my small joke; I imagine you groaning; I imagine you throwing my words away. Do I have you still? Do I address empty air and the flies that will eat this carcass? You could leave me for five years, you could return never - and I have to write the rest of this not knowing.”
― Max Gladstone, This Is How You Lose the Time War

“I love you. I love you. I love you. I'll write it in waves. In skies. In my heart. You'll never see, but you will know. I'll be all the poets, I'll kill them all and take each one's place in turn, and every time love's written in all the strands it will be to you.”
― Amal El-Mohtar, This Is How You Lose the Time War
