“You'll leave. And then one day you'll come back, and everything that you once loved about the place will drive you a little bit crazy.”
― Alex George, A Good American

“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”
― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

“She thought men were saviors...
...And she looked for more in them than what they were...
Only to rescue herself from those she wished would rescue her...

And isn't that the most tragic lie...
The lie where we tell what we wished were true and believe it...?

She had an artificial memory, a prosthesis to a past that never was...
She was like a party that no one ever went to...
Like a cure...without a disease...

And isn't that the greatest fear of all...to be ready with the answers
to questions that no one asks anymore?”
― Merrit Malloy, Things I Meant to Say to You When We Were Old

“For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It's always our self we find in the sea.”
― e.e. cummings, 100 Selected Poems
