“I don't like to think of myself as an insincere person but if I say I love you and I don't mean it then what else am I? Will I cherish you, adore you, make way for you, make myself better for you, look at you and always see you, tell you the truth? And if love is not those things then what things?”
― Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body

“You ask if I miss you. I think of your voice, your hands, and your eyes when you look straight into mine. I remember your courage that I hadn't suspected, and it gives me courage.”
― Patricia Highsmith, The Price of Salt

“You've punctured my solitude, I told you.”
― Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts

“Sometimes one has to know something many times over. Sometimes one forgets, and then remembers. And then forgets, and then remembers. And then forgets again.”
― Maggie Nelson, The Argonauts
