“Because you had no power over the fact that I was born, you took from me what I was born with—the person who was my love, the half that made me entire—and now I am lessened into this dull thing, a divided person who will live forever, wandering in search of some nothing, some nowhere, some no-feeling, to mend my pain.”
― Affinity Konar, Mischling

“As soon as I take down her book and open it...My skies rise higher and hang younger stars.”

― F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise
