Mary’s Quotes

“If you accumulate enough small moments, you become real.”
― Emil Ostrovski, Away We Go

0 likes

“It can be easier, sometimes, to choose to love someone you know won't return your feelings. At least you know how that will end. It's easier to accept hurt and pain, sometimes, than love and acceptance. It's the real, loving relationships that can be the scariest.”
― Kacen Callender, Felix Ever After

“You had to know everything about everything, didn't you, in order to say the right thing at the right time, in order to draw the right metaphor out at the right moment and turn that moment into poetry. Maybe that was why the world had poets and playwrights. To give us back all the words we'd squandered.”
― Emil Ostrovski, Away We Go

“It's easier, I think, to love someone you know won't love you - to chase them, knowing they won't feel the same way - than to love someone who might love you back. To risk loving each other and losing it all”
― Kacen Callender, Felix Ever After

“I want to be in love. I’ve never, you know—felt the kind of passion great artists talk about. I want that. I want to feel that level of intensity. Not everyone wants love. I get that, you know? But me—I want to fall in love and be broken up with and get pissed and grieve and fall in love all over again. I’ve never felt any of that. I’ve just been doing the same shit. Nothing new. Nothing exciting.”
― Kacen Callender, Felix Ever After
