'I don't think I could live without a belief in moral progress. I can't feed myself lies. There's a lot of beauty along with pity & fear, as Aristotle said, in it all.
Our famed condition.'
'Is that what life is to you, a tragedy?'
'Ofcourse it's a tragedy. A very silly one. The absurdity is as great as the despair' No room for hope?'
'Not much.'
I wouldn't want to live without hope.'
'Well, I do. I like it here.'

“The sun dries my skin. It feels polished and alive. He comes out of the water and stands beside me. He takes my hand and I feel relieved. I press my lips to his neck and hold him close and more water from his hair drips down my back and shoulders and my skin tightens as it evaporates. I tell him I love him with my whole heart.
…
He shakes his head. 'It just hurts a little, to feel this good.”

They are happy and in love, I am happy to witness this. Being 22 making decisions in youth is intense enough, learning about each other, spending all this time intertwined together, everything is funny and you don’t want to miss anything the other says. And saying goodbye/long distance is hard, I do love the term babe and the intimacy felt like they are breathing from the same body and being understood aahhh

“It was gorgeous and tender. Everything in it is working toward this mood, this ache, this very tactile sensation that gets deep in your bones. He sort of reminded me of you."
Of me? That loser? How does he remind you of me?'
Because I'm a little in love with him. Because he moves me. I can't think of anything true that I could say out loud.”
ITS ABOUT BEING A WRITER NO MATTER THE COST

“How can you say that? All of literature rests on the promise that we change, we grow, have epiphanies, become better, understand our flaws.'
'Too late. Have you ever noticed that? It's always too late. Oedipus, Macbeth, Raskolnikov.
'For them. But not for us. We have gotten better.
Ethically. Morally?
'We haven't. Human behavior doesn't change' He is so certain of this.”

“We get teas at the cafeteria and sit on the steps in the sun. I have this feeling that this is how all of college should have been and somehow wasn't, sitting with Yash on the steps of the quad. I have a stab of sadness, then I remember.”

“That night I lie in my sleeping bag and feel sad that he can't be my friend now. I'm aware that I had ideas about the future that I hadn't discussed with myself. I figured Sam and I would go on separate paths after graduation, but I hoped Yash and I would stay friends, that we'd be friends for life. Now that seems a lot less likely. And this is the thing I'm most sad about.”

“He points out his dorm from freshman year and I point out mine the next quad over. The movie has made these buildings, these quads, these years of our lives seem unbearably naïve. I want to say something about it, but that feels naïve, too.“
