Jemma

“Perhaps all our loves are merely hints and symbols; vagabond-language scrawled on gate-posts and paving-stones along the weary road that others have tramped before us; perhaps you and I are types and this sadness which sometimes falls between us springs from disappointment in our search, each straining through and beyond the other, snatching a glimpse now and then of the shadow which turns the corner always a pace or two ahead of us.”
― Evelyn Waugh, Brideshead Revisited

“It's the tragedy of loving, you can't love anything more than something you miss.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer

“The past beats inside me like a second heart.”
― John Banville, The Sea

“To love someone means to see them as God intended them.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky
