“ Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
— Emily Bronte (Wuthering Heights)
“ Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
“ Who has never killed an hour? Not casually or without thought, but carefully: a premeditated murder of minutes. The violence comes from a combination of giving up, not caring, and a resignation that getting past it is all you can hope to accomplish. So you kill the hour. You do not work, you do not read, you do not daydream. If you sleep it is not because you need to sleep. And when at last it is over, there is no evidence: no weapon, no blood, and no body. The only clue might be the shadows beneath your eyes or a terribly thin line near the corner of your mouth indicating something has been suffered, that in the privacy of your life you have lost something and the loss is too empty to share.
— Mark Z. Danielewski (House of Leaves)
“ You have to make her happy, the happiest she can be. Every morning, make her a hazelnut coffee with one packet of raw sugar, then save the packet to make a koala and hook it onto her mug. And if you don’t know how to make a koala, you buy an origami book and you stay up til 3 in the morning learning and getting stupid papercuts everywhere. Because that’s what makes her smile.
— Stuart Grundy (aka Buster) (from Arrested Development)
I told you that I love you. You held me tight and we just hugged and stayed in the moment. It felt like forever and it was the best hug ever. It’s probably the happiest moment in my life at this point. I wish it lasted forever…even if you said you didn’t like me back. I’m happy that nothing has changed with our friendship and we’re still the same. But I still love you, and I don’t mind if we just stay as friends.
“ Love is so short, forgetting is so long.
— Pablo Neruda (via girlwithoutwings)
“ I once loved a girl who almost loved me, but not as much as she loved John Cusack.
