Salome

“We accept the love we think we deserve.”
― Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“Was everyone else really as alive as she was?... If the answer was yes, then the world, the social world, was unbearably complicated, with two billion voices, and everyone’s thoughts striving in equal importance and everyone’s claim on life as intense, and everyone thinking they were unique, when no one was. One could drown in irrelevance.”
― Ian McEwan, Atonement

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”
― W.B. Yeats

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.”
― Anais Nin
