“I shall talk to you through trees, through the arms of dancers, through sweet words uttered by many lovers.

The arms of dancers round you shall be my arms.

The eyes of men admiring you shall be my eyes.

I have many arms, many eyes.

It is that, loving you, I have become many lovers.”
― Jose Garcia Villa, Doveglion: Collected Poems

“Looking into another person's eyes for an extended period of time proved to be a powerful thing. And if you don't believe me, try it yourself.”
― Matthew Quick, The Silver Linings Playbook

“Nevermore to delay life
End the beginning
Devise the bravest perpendicular
To the squarest circle.

Assume the ending.
If He lies broken who broke Him?
Assume your innocence!

If you are broken who broke you?
Assume His innocence!

The perpendicular of heaven and death!
Now the wounded may rest.
If He—on your breast.

If you—on His brest.
Rest, rest.”
― Jose Garcia Villa, Doveglion: Collected Poems

“You have to fall in love to be in love, but falling in love isn't the same as being in love”
― Gayle Forman, Just One Day
