“… There is no purity to bearing pain alone.”

“”In certain seasons,
We may be nourished by
The idea of the carrot
More than the carrot itself.””

“It was easy to dislike the man; it was harder to dislike the little boy who existed just below the surface of the man.” This is why I cry when I see baby pictures of the people I love, I picture little them when I see them hurting (being a pisces is a disease I swear)

“Never ever ever sleep with Marx. Whatever you do, don’t do it. At some point, he’ll look at you with those eyes and that hair, and you’ll think he is harmless. He’s hot. I should sleep with him.” Happens to the best of us, I fear

“How do I go on when the person I love the most in the world is in love with someone else? Someone tell me the solution, he thought, so I don’t have to play this losing game all the way through.”

“I want to know your ideas, …I really want to know them. I love hearing your ideas. That’s my favorite thing in the world.”
