“I glance at her and she looks soft, not vicious, but a lot of people in this town are a soft kind of vicious.”
― Courtney Summers, All the Rage

“Marzia: People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.

Elio: Do you hide who you are?

Marzia: Sometimes. Don't you?

Elio: Do I? I suppose. Do you hide from me?

Marzia: No, not from you. Or maybe, yes, a bit.

Elio: Like what?

Marzia: You know exactly like what.

Elio: Why do say that?

Marzia: Why? Becaue I think you can hurt me and I don't want to be hurt.Not that you mean to hurt anyone, but because you're always changing your mind, always slipping, so no one knows where to find you. You scare me.”
― André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

“I don't believe in forgiveness. I think if you hurt someone, it becomes part of you both. Each of you just has to live with it and the person you hurt gets to decide if they want to give you the chance to do it again. If they do and you're a good person, you won't make the same mistakes. Just whole new ones.”
― Courtney Summers, All the Rage
