“I have been going out with Nick Nelson since I was fourteen. He likes rougby and Formula 1, animals (espacially dogs), the Marvel universe, the sound felttips make on paper, rain, drawing on shoes, Disneyland and minimalism. He also likes me.
His hair is dark blond and his eyes are brown and he is two inches taller than me, if you care about that sort of thing. I think he's pretty hot, but that might just be my opinion.”
― Alice Oseman, Nick and Charlie

“It may not be right to kill, but sometimes it is necessary.”
― Gerry Adams, Before The Dawn

“although we were laughing about the impossibility of our relationship, it still felt nice”

“Even if the writer himself was a good person, and even if his book really was insightful, all books were ultimately marketed as status symbols, and all writers participated to some degree in this marketing. Presumably this was how the industry made money. Literature, in the way it appeared at these public readings, had no potential as a form of resistance to anything. Still, Connell went home that night and read over some notes he had been making for a new story, and he felt the old beat of pleasure inside his body, like watching a perfect goal, like the rustling movement of light through leaves, a phrase of music from the window of a passing car. Life offers up these moments of joy despite everything.”
― Sally Rooney, Normal People
