“Reader, I married him. A quiet wedding we had: he and I, the parson and clerk, were alone present.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“I am not a Sunday morning inside four walls
with clean blood
and organized drawers.
I am the hurricane setting fire to the forests
at night when no one else is alive
or awake
however you choose to see it
and I live in my own flames
sometimes burning too bright and too wild
to make things last
or handle
myself or anyone else
and so I run.
run run run
far and wide
until my bones ache and lungs split
and it feels good.
Hear that people? It feels good
because I am the slave and ruler of my own body
and I wish to do with it exactly as I please”
― Charlotte Eriksson, You're Doing Just Fine

“Live boldly. Push yourself. Don't settle.”
― Jojo Moyes, Me Before You

“To have someone out there who understands you, who desires you, who sees you as a better version of yourself, is the most astonishing gift.”
― Jojo Moyes, The Last Letter from Your Lover
