André Aciman
“Did I want him to act? Or would I prefer a lifetime of longing provided we both kept this little Ping-Pong game going: not knowing, not-not-knowing, not-not-not-knowing? Just be quiet, say nothing, and if you can't say "yes," don't say "no," say "later." Is this why people say "maybe" when they mean "yes," but hope you'll think it's "no" when all they really mean is, Please, just ask me once more, and once more after that?
André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

Jack Kerouac
“I just won't sleep," I decided. There were so many other interesting things to do.”
Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Jun'ichirō Tanizaki
“Were it not for shadows, there would be no beauty.”
Jun'ichirō Tanizaki, In Praise of Shadows

André Aciman
“In your place, if there is pain, nurse it, and if there is a flame, don’t snuff it out, don’t be brutal with it. Withdrawal can be a terrible thing when it keeps us awake at night, and watching others forget us sooner than we’d want to be forgotten is no better. We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing so as not to feel anything — what a waste!”
André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

Alice Oseman
“I'm so tired of everyone treading on eggshells around me. Like, yeah, I'm still working on my anorexia, and some days it's really hard... but that doesn't mean I can't have fun and do teenage stuff! I'm not fragile. And I want to have sex with you, what's wrong with that?”
Alice Oseman, Heartstopper: Volume Five
