Philippe Besson
“I just wanted to write to tell you that I have been happy during these months together, that I have never been so happy, and that I already know I will never be so happy again.”
Philippe Besson, Lie With Me

Hiromi Kawakami
“He had underestimated me. All along. Even though I had not underestimated him. But, how do you love someone without blinding yourself? Don’t we all have to indulge each other, let our guard down, and -ever so slightly- lower ourselves, in order to love someone?”
Hiromi Kawakami, The Ten Loves of Mr. Nishino

“If I couldn’t move toward him, then I’d throw words out like little life rafts, hoping one would reach him and keep us both from sinking.”
Alyssa Songsiridej, Little Rabbit

Hiromi Kawakami
“It grows because you tend it.' This was a phrase often repeated by my great-aunt when she was alive. 'That's how love is,' she used to say. 'If the love is true, then treat it the same way you would a plant - feed it, protect it from the elements - you must do absolutely everything you can. But if it isn't true, then it's best to just let it wither on the vine.”
Hiromi Kawakami, Strange Weather in Tokyo

“I imagined the choreographer’s love as a fall into the frozen river, losing myself in the dark water like a soft annihilation. What would happen when I needed to surface and found the hole frozen back over. What he did, I wanted, true. And I feared what I wanted, the urge to jump over, dive deep. What he’d done was crack something new inside of me and let it break the world.”
Alyssa Songsiridej, Little Rabbit
