pas de deux

"I don’t want a lukewarm love. I want it to burn my lips and engulf my soul."

"Her little shoulders drove me mad; I hugged her and hugged her. And she loved it.
‘I love love,’ she said, closing her eyes. I promised her beautiful love. I gloated over her. Our stories were told; we subsided into silence and sweet anticipatory thoughts. It was as simple as that."

"I hate you, but I still I miss you, and a part of me still loves you."

"I can’t remember that date or what you wore or what the weather was like on the day we met. I only remember that you said hello in a voice that sounded like love."

"Elegance must be the right combination of distinction, naturalness, care and simplicity."

"It is the useless things that make life worth living and that make life dangerous too: wine, love, art, beauty. Without them life is safe, but not worth bothering with."

"Because when something happens, she’s the person I want to tell. The most basic indicator of love."

"The thing I’m most afraid of is me. Of not knowing what I’m going to do. Of not knowing what I’m doing right now."

"We are unusual and tragic and alive."

"Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark."

"Spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself & a little less time trying to impress people."

"When I am with you, there is nowhere else I’d rather be. And I am a person who always wants to be somewhere else."

"She’s mad, but she’s magic."

"Why do people have to be this lonely? What’s the point of it all? Millions of people in this world, all of them yearning, looking to others to satisfy them, yet isolating themselves. Why? Was the earth put here just to nourish human loneliness?"

"We are afraid to care too much for fear that the other person does not care at all."
