“I wanted to scream. When I'm with you, I feel I can take what others call my life and turns its face away from the wall. My entire life faces the wall except when I'm with you. I stare at my life and want to undo every mistake, every deceit, turn a new leaf, turn the table, turn the clock. I want to put a real face on my life, not the drab front I've been wearing since forever. So why can't I speak to you now?”

― André Aciman, Enigma Variations

“I find it increasingly difficult to speak of my feelings at will.”
― Alexandra Kleeman, Intimations: Stories

“Much that we had appreciated about one another had been left unsaid. In humor, in life and in love, we had understood.”
― Jasper Fforde, The Eyre Affair
