“He thinks marriage will make our love more real
when marriage will only make our love more necessary.

Marriage (Often) is just a publicity stunt
a social security,
Yes, I will stay with you
BUT you don't have to marry me
Marriage is not a payment or something you can 'give' me
It is not something that you can do 'for' me only 'with me”
― Merrit Malloy, The People Who Didn't Say Goodbye

“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?”

“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

“A man or woman who travels in the end will never be kept. But if you understand that person well enough, they’ll always be by your side. They might have forgotten where their home is in this world - but you might just make them feel like the closest thing to feeling at home. And while they’ll be leaving country after country, this is the way you will never leave their heart.”
