“[...] perché anche lui, come tanti, nel profondo sapeva che quello che soprattutto fa la persona che ami è occupare spazio, stare al mondo: diventare il tuo spazio e il tuo mondo. E il peggio che ti può capitare, quando ti abitui a vivere in un mondo ridotto ad una persona soltanto, è di pensare di avere abbastanza mondo per essere felice, addirittura diventarlo e così raccontarti che nel resto del mondo, tutto quell'altro mondo che non è lei, non vuoi neanche più andarci; infatti non ci vai, e dopo un po' ti senti persino fiero di aver smesso di frequentarlo, quel mondo così vasto, anche se poi quando viene a girare dalle tue parti o lo vedi dalla finestra ti sale un po' di magone, e te ne torni dentro mordendoti le labbra.”

“Non siamo responsabili dei nostri sentimenti né del flusso che li causa o li alimenta e tutto sommato neanche delle nostre azioni, anche se poi dobbiamo risponderne (e farlo anche se nessuno ce lo chiede), com’è giusto che sia.”

“I haven’t changed my mind. That’s the point! I want to spend my life with you even though it’s totally irrational. And you have short earlobes. Socially and genetically there’s no reason for me to be attracted to you. The only logical conclusion is that I must be in love with you.”

“Love
isn't always magic.
But if I offered my body to the magician,
if I told him to cut me in half
so after that I could come to you whole
and ask for you back
would you listen
for this dark alley love song?
For the winter we heated our home
from the steam off our own bodies?”
― The Madness Vase

“I’m never gonna wait
that extra twenty minutes
to text you back,
and I’m never gonna play
hard to get
when I know your life
has been hard enough already.
When we all know everyone’s life
has been hard enough already
it’s hard to watch
the game we make of love,
like everyone’s playing checkers
with their scars,
saying checkmate
whenever they get out
without a broken heart.
Just to be clear
I don’t want to get out
without a broken heart.
I intend to leave this life
so shattered
there’s gonna have to be
a thousand separate heavens
for all of my flying parts.”
