“Als mensen wordt gevraagd naar de belangrijkste ervaring bij 'liefde op het eerste gezicht' is het meest genoemde woord: herkenning. Het is mogelijk iemand te herkennen die je daarvoor nog nooit hebt gezien. Onze herkenning voelde als een hereniging.”
― Ronald Giphart, IJsland

“Laten we ons nergens wat van aantrekken en op de gewone tijd gaan eten.”
― Gerard Reve, De avonden

“My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
~ Falsely yours”
― Kinky Friedman

“I will remember the kisses
our lips raw with love
and how you gave me
everything you had
and how I
offered you what was left of
me,
and I will remember your small room
the feel of you
the light in the window
your records
your books
our morning coffee
our noons our nights
our bodies spilled together
sleeping
the tiny flowing currents
immediate and forever
your leg my leg
your arm my arm
your smile and the warmth
of you
who made me laugh
again.”
― Charles Bukowski
