soft enough
to offer life
tough enough
to drown it away”

“me: you know what sucks about love?
o.w.g.: what?
me: that it's so tied to the truth.”
― David Levithan, Will Grayson, Will Grayson

“Love is a joint experience between two persons—but the fact that it is a joint experience does not mean that it is a similar experience to the two people involved. There are the lover and the beloved, but these two come from different countries. Often the beloved is only a stimulus for all the stored-up love which has lain quiet in the lover for a long time hitherto. And somehow every lover knows this. He feels in his soul that his love is a solitary thing. He comes to know a new strange loneliness and it is this knowledge which makes him suffer.”
― Carson McCullers, The Ballad of the Sad Cafe
