“I'll never see you that way again. Because Before this, I didn't know you were essential for me to feel alive.”
― Ella Frank, Trust

“Hey you know what they say you should do when life gives you lemons?"

The sudden change in topic made my head spin, "Make lemonade?" I answered weakly.

"Lemonade? Who the fuck do you hang out with, Girl Scouts? No, when life gives you lemons, you add vodka and make a lemon drop.”
― Cardeno C., Just What the Truth Is

“Blessed is the man who, having nothing to say, abstains from giving us wordy evidence of the fact.”
― George Eliot, Impressions of Theophrastus Such

“They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.”
― Philip Larkin, High Windows
