“Friendship plants itself as a small unobtrusive seed; over time, it grows thick roots that wrap around your heart. When a love affair ends, the tree is torn out quickly, the operation painful but clean. Friendship withers quietly, there is always hope of revival. Only after time has passed do you recognise that it is dead, and you are left, for years afterwards, pulling dry brown fibres from your chest.”
― Anna Lyndsey, Girl in the Dark

“The world doesn't hate you as much as you think it does.”
― Koji Suzuki, Birthday

“No connection can ever be broken if love holds tight at both ends.”
― Shannon L. Alder
