1 note & 1 highlight

She was wired into my heart. Twisted and kinked and threaded right through.

Ah, sisterly love. Permanent if painful at times.

“but that is the way of things, with cities as with life, for one moment we are pottering about our errands as usual and the next we are dying, and our eternally impending ending does not put a stop to our transient beginnings and middles until the instant when it does.”

“The need of the world was like death, she thought – everyone knew about it, but the thought was so annihilating that they had to push it out of consciousness or it would crush them.”

“Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.”
― Tom Robbins, Still Life with Woodpecker
