a little life by hanya yanagihara

• one of his dearest friend sat alone on a disgusting sofa, making the slow, sad, lonely journey back to consciousness, back to the land of the living, without anyone at all by his side.
• he was so desperate to move away from the life he was in, the life he'd had; he wanted to be someone whom no one knew and who knew no one.
• and then he knew things he wished he didn't, things he hoped never to have to use again, things that, when he thought of them or dreamed of them at night, made him curl into himself with hatred and shame.
• they were his friends, his first friends, and he understood that friendship was a series of exchanges: of affection, of time, sometimes of money, always of information.
• somewhere, surrendering to what seemed to...

lovestruck in the city 2020

• have you ever met someone and felt like question marks were floating around them? "what is she like? she looks fun." you're curious, so you want to know more.
• from now on, i won't be scared, reluctant, embarrassed, hesitant, doubtful, or indecisive. i've decided not to be like that anymore. i'm slowly trying to refrain from saying those things. one day, i'm going to stop saying i'm scared.
• she just wanted to sleep with the guy, but he said, "i love you." i would've run away, too, if i was her.
• so what does it mean to be normal? there are countless women in the world, and all of them are normal. i really wish men could broaden their imagination. every woman is different.
• i decided to do everything i ever wanted to do, rolling with the punches and follo...

nana 2005

• back then, i wasn't really able to love someone properly. yet, i couldn't help but want to be loved.
• it's such a burden going through the process of finding a boyfriend and falling in love is exhausting. in the first place, i get too involved when i fall in love, i'm so involved that i lose sight of everything that's why things don't work out.
• back then, if i were a bit more mature, and a bit more understanding of your weaknesses, would our future have been different?
• i want to live in a fancy room, wear clothes that are in style, see the popular movies, buy the latest cellphone, get a driver's license, travel overseas. so i need to find a job. i need to work hard. if i think i'm doing it all for that, working can be fun.
