Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
― William W. Purkey

“He needed to tell her...what? That she was lovely and brave and better than anything he deserved. That he was twisted, crooked, wrong, but not so broken that he couldn't pull himself together into some semblance of a man for her.

“You spent so much time explaining yourself, your work, to others – what it meant, what you were trying to accomplish, why you were trying to accomplish it, why you had chosen the colours and subject matter and materials and application and technique that you had – that it was a relief to simply be with another person to whom you didn't have to explain anything.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life
