“On peut donner bien des choses à ceux que l'on aime. Des paroles, un repos, du plaisir. Tu m'as donné le plus précieux de tout : le manque. Il m'était impossible de me passer de toi, même quand je te voyais, tu me manquais encore.”
― Christian Bobin

“It is often difficult to admit that someone you love is not perfect, or to consider aspects of a person that are less than admirable.”
― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

“I love no one but you, I have discovered, but you are far away and I am here alone. Then this is my life and maybe, however unlikely, I’ll find my way back there. Or maybe, one day, I’ll settle for second best. And on that same day, hell will freeze over, the sun will burn out and the stars will fall from the sky.”
― Lemony Snicket

“The way you slam your body into mine reminds me I’m alive, but monsters are always hungry, darling, and they’re only a few steps behind you, finding the flaw, the poor weld, the place where we weren’t stitched up quite right, the place they could almost slip right into through if the skin wasn’t trying to keep them out, to keep them here, on the other side of the theater where the curtain keeps rising. I crawled out the window and ran into the woods. I had to make up all the words myself. The way they taste, the way they sound in the air. I passed through the narrow gate, stumbled in, stumbled around for a while, and stumbled back out. I made this place for you. A place for to love me. If this isn’t a kingdom then I don’t know what is.”
