Isabella

“I’m here. I love you. I don’t care if you need to stay up crying all night long, I will stay with you. If you need the medication again, go ahead and take it—I will love you through that, as well. If you don’t need the medication, I will love you, too. There’s nothing you can ever do to lose my love. I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

“There's something to be said about a slightly plump person—you have just enough of too much.”
― Jamaica Kincaid

“This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.”

“It is thanks to my evening reading alone that I am still more or less sane.”
― W.G. Sebald, Vertigo
