“Elio: This is my spot. All mine. I come here to read. I can't tell you the number of booksI've read here.

Oliver: Do you like being alone?

Elio: No. No one likes being alone. But I've learned how to live with it.

Oliver: Are you always so very wise?

Elio: I'm not wise at all. I told you, I know nothing. I know books, and I know how to string words togethet - it doesn't mean I know how to speak about the things that matter most to me.”
― André Aciman, Call Me by Your Name

“You can’t kill a movement.”
― R.F. Kuang, The Poppy War
