- You wanted happiness, I can’t blame you for that, and maybe a mouth sounds idiotic when it blathers on about joy but tell me you love this, tell me you’re not miserable. Richard Siken
- If you can love someone with your whole heart, even one person, then there’s salvation in life. Even if you can’t get together with that person. Haruki Murakami

- Be careful who you open up to. Only a few people actually care. The rest just want to have something to gossip about.
- Let me tell you what I do know: I am more than one thing, and not all of those things are good. The truth is complicated. It’s two-toned, multi-vocal, bittersweet. I used to think that if I dug deep enough to discover something sad and ugly, I’d know it was something true. Now I’m trying to dig deeper. I didn’t want to write these pages until there were no hard feelings, no sharp ones. I do not have that luxury. I am sad and angry and I want everyone to be alive again. I want more landmarks, less landmines. I want to be grateful but I’m having a hard time with it. Richard Siken

- I didn’t even try to love you, it just happened.
- Your name is safe in my mouth— your heart too, tendons twined around my tongue, body cradled in the cage of my teeth. I will lock you up tight, in the space above my throat where even I cannot get you. Kate Horowitz
- Memories are dangerous things. You turn them over and over, until you know every touch and corner, but still you’ll find an edge to cut you. Mark Lawrence
- The more you love me, the more I will ruin you. I will take my darkness and I will push it inside you. David Levithan
- We met at the wrong time. That’s what I keep telling myself anyway.
- Sometimes the sun shines and it still rains. The weather changes all the time. You can too. Iain S. Thomas
- Feelings are just visitors, let them come and go. Mooji
